between a university and a conservatory is that:
A conservatory is a place that hires world-renowned active or semi-retired musicians to bring up the next generation of artists.
A university is a place that pays one person $3.5 million to coach a minor-league football team and another person $2.5 million to coach a minor-league basketball team. To supply entertainment for the team events, $100,000 - $300,000 is budgeted each year to hire between 10-20 teachers to train the pep band members to play the university's fight song. To avoid taking the cost of hiring the fight song teachers from football and basketball ticket sales, the university charges the pep band members "tuition".
