<p>Where were this girl’s parents during the college app process? Why was this girl not advised about the lifetime ramifications of taking on major college debt for a film career? Why do people continue racking up six figure debt for low paying majors? </p>
<p>And why would a southern California kid go across the country to study filmmaking? The industry is right in her back yard. Gotta believe the internships and recruiting are much better in CA. Why on earth this girl didn’t go to one of the many great CA state schools is beyond me. </p>
<p>Furthermore, I can’t understand people’s infatuation with NYU. It has to be one of the most overpriced colleges in the world. I’m in NY, and around here people have always considered NYU as a nothing-special college. I could see going there for business, since that can lead to high paying careers, and the proximity to Wall Street is a plus. Drama is good too, again helped by proximity to Broadway, but that’s a big price tag for a low paying career. NYU’s grad schools (business and law) are first rate, but for undergrad, NYU is just one big ripoff.</p>
