New York Film School

I was recently accepted to both New York University and Emerson College. I am planning on studying film production. They are both really good schools. I love New York and I love Boston. From my research NYU is more expensive, but Emerson has much better campus housing. The only way that I can think to make my decision is to compare the film programs. So which one has a better film program, NYU or Emerson College?

NYU-Better rep, better connections---> easier to get a job when you graduate, better facilities, better location in the industry, more artistic, no campus

Emerson-More hands on approach, you will be making films quicker, only have to take film related classes, lower acceptance standards--> SOME of the people around you may not be as experienced and talented, more personal feel

What were your grades, SAT, extra curics btw?

I am about to go to Uni in the UK. I want to get involved in making films and am thinking about the best place to go the New York Film school where the stars send their prodigies. I have looked but can not assatain the prices. How much is it to study there how hard is it to get in?

Hey Gael,

PROGRAM VALUE

With all due respect to Mr. Godard, we at the IFI, think it takes quite a bit more. Our intensive, hands on program is also comprehensive taking students from concept to marketing while working the practical steps in between. (first site)

Hey, I am Eigtheen and currently applying for university in the UK. However I really want to learn film making and am thinking about the Tisch School of Film...My A level grades are poor though they are predicted A (Business) - D (Geography and (E/DBiology)...would I even have a chance of getting into this american university? I ask because due to my grades my only other option is the New York Film Academy but they are very expensive. I know that as an international student at the Tisch I would have to financially support myself and my fees would not be waived...How can I apply and what are my chances?

It is a good school, and I would think that if you have a few good films that you have already made, you should be able to get in with those low grades.

Your best bet is to call the admissions counselor and see what they say initially.

NCSA is a four-year conservatory while the schools I'm looking at in NY and LA (New York Film Academy, LA Film School) have 1-2 year programs.

Ask about internships and job placement after graduation. What percentage of their students find jobs in the film industry within six months of graduation? What percent within a year following graduation? What kind of jobs are they finding and where are they working? What kind of job placement assistance does each school offer? The advantage of being based in NYC or L.A. is that you are right there where the jobs are. But if the school basically throws you out on the streets at graduation, that isn't much help. So ask a lot of specific questions about entering the job market following graduation.
