My first experience with SETC was rather overwhelming. No matter how much someone tells you about it, you can never really know what to expect until you go and experience it first-hand. I didn’t do auditions or job contact, but I did attend several workshops and visited the education expo in search of graduate schools. The workshops were interesting but I think that I got more out of visiting booths from different schools. I met a lot of interesting people who were able to give me some great information and advice. I met many people whose attitudes (and demeanor) didn’t exactly entice me to apply/audition for their program, but I also met several who were very friendly and encouraging and made me want to research their program more.
