<p>Hey guys.</p>
<p>I'm currently a Junior attending a pretty strong catholic school in Brooklyn, and I'm planning on applying to NYU next year. </p>
<p>My true passion is film, and I am confident that I want to do this for my occupation. However, as everyone knows, getting a degree in the arts, especially in this economy, is suicidal basically-- especially with the amount of debt you'll have after attending a school like NYU. </p>
<p>I've been working w/ film since 6th grade, and I've gotten pretty damn good at most aspects of it such as lighting, editing, directing, screenwriting, etc.... so I know that after I get my degree it will be much easier for me to find work because of my previous experience, but still, it's a big risk in a time like this.</p>
<p>Well thankfully, I've discovered an involved interest that I have for Physics and the math behind it, which is weird considering that some previous math courses have been the banes of my existence. I guess my opinions have changed along with time....</p>
<p>but basically, I wanted to know what it would be like to double major in both of these fields. I feel like double majoring in physics and film would be great, because if for some reason I don't become the next Spielberg (lol), I have a Physics degree under my belt. </p>
<p>I'm concerned though, because while NYU would technically allow this weird combination, I'm not quite sure what the experience would be. NYU is well-known for both science and filmography, so I would imagine majoring in both here would be a bit more taxing than a "lesser"-known university, but I could be wrong of course. I'm also unclear as to how this would affect tuition, credit requirements, and application. Would I literally have to complete twice the credit requirements to get a BAs in Film and Physics? What courses would I have to take? And most importantly, could I survive it?</p>
