<p>Hello everyone,
So I've been accepted into Columbia College Chicago's film program. I applied to CCC as safety school with my heart set on Emerson or Boston U. While I did get accepted into both, I simply won't be able to afford either school without taking out a considerable amount of loans especially if I decide upon Boston U. At CCC however I wouldn't have to pay for anything (full ride) so I was just wondering if anyone can give me information on a few things regarding CCC. You don't have to answer all questions but please answer!
1. How is the honors program? I've been accepted into it but don't really know what to expect from it.
2. How is the college academically? I realize that CCC is a "artsy" school but I still would like to be pushed a little academically.
3. How is the good is the film program and teachers? Is the equipment up to date? How are the facilities?
4. Are there a lot of opportunities(internships)/connections for film students?
5. This has nothing to do with the school but how is Chicago? I know its considered old hollywood so I was just curious if there are actually still lots of productions being made in Chicago. Would you say Chicago has more opportunities than Florida for film? I ask because Florida is where I live currently.
Thank you to anyone who answers! </p>
<p>I’m originally from Chicago, and currently live in Florida. I do not know of any opportunities for film in Florida. In Chicago tho, there is much more culture, hence more film, more opportunities.</p>
