<p>Now that my D is expressing an interest in film making, I guess we ought to investigate some colleges that offer it. Anyone know of any that are in the NJ/NY tristate area? I know about NYU, and about Rowan, but that's about it, lol.</p>
<p>montclair state has a BFA in film making. I was always intrigued by Montclair. Reasonable OOS tuition- close to NYC-interesting programs. But my d (we're from NY) is stubborn and said she wouldn't go to school in NJ. We got her to look at the Rowan campus- but that was about all she would do re: Jersey schools
But I did check out the Montclair website and cataloge and always thought it a school with alot of potential
Abbot and Costello Theatre (??) on campus -- what more could you ask for</p>
<p>Check out Hofstra. My niece graduated from there about 6 years ago. She had great internships in NYC. One was with Saturday Night Live. She has since started a production company and made a documentary in Vietnam. I will get more info if you are interested.</p>
<p>the following schools in the tri-state area (ok, i'm stretching it a bit...) have majors in film studies:</p>
<p>Bard
Barnard
Mercy College
Muhlenberg (not too far from jersey?)
NYU
Pratt
Queens College
School of Visual Arts
SUNY Binghamton
SUNY-Purchase
Temple
Vassar</p>
<p>and nearby in CT, wesleyan is well known for film</p>
