me too, I'm in electrical engineering right now, but want to go into enthnomusicology, acoustics, or film.

Acoustics is very interesting. there's a good professor in Turin if you want to do a Phd in acoustics. He looks like the classic mad scientist. Un kempt white hair and always in a white coat. A very good teacher.

DON'T DO IT!!!

Stick to loving music in your spare time and clock those IS dollahs!

John, the Wesleyan program is geared toward non-Western musics, although Mark Slobin is an expert on Yiddish music. There is also a strong experimental/New Music component to the music program as a whole but I don't know how strongly it makes itself felt on the graduate ethnomusicology level.

It's a nice place to live, and there are interesting concerts every weekend.

The programme at York in Toronto seems good.
