<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm interested in doing the MFA in film at Columbia and I was wondering if any students from/associated with/know about the program on here.</p>
<p>I wanted to know how it compares with NYU's graduate film program, which I know is one of the best in the world. From what I can tell through Columbia's website, their program is more writing intensive and prefers writing over visual portfolios, which NYU seems to care more 'bout. I know both programs emphasize independence for their students moreso than the Cali based schools, which are obviously the most Hollywood-centric schools can get.</p>
<p>I would really appreciate it if someone familiar could comment or whatever :)</p>
