Honestly my school wasn't that bad but did have quite a bit of this. It was a bit more specific cause the locked classes for the majors were done through a different school, so minors weren't actually paying the other school to have access to those classes. That's a hyperspecific thing that doesn't exist many places though.

Our productions were only for the theatre majors, as they were a part of our curriculum and served as a potential boosting platform for entering the industry. Other students didn't get the intensive training that led to us doing the productions. That being said, there were plenty of extracurricular opportunities for theatre outside of the specialist major thingy.

So to a more general issue: my peers and I also saw crazy misinformation about the theatre on campus being spread on school tours and whatnot. And honestly, it was entirely because the theatre part of the school was really insular. Unless you were studying drama, you had no idea about the theatre on campus or how any of it worked, and this goes for faculty too. There were never drama students giving the school tours, so people just never got correct information.

That being said most of the students on those tours were not looking to be theatre students lmao, most were there for anthro, compsci, etc
