I've been accepted to the MAR in religion and the visual arts, which is a joint program between Yale Div & the Institute of Sacred Music. My concern is the same as what you've expressed- I want to be there to focus on religion and art because of a scholarly interest, not a personal one. I'm planning on checking out the Accepted Students day on Thursday to see if I can get a sense of the vibe and whether or not I'll feel comfortable there, though I have to say that all of the faculty and students that I've been in communication with seem great.
