So I got accepted to both schools. And I intend to study film production with a minor in something like marketing or business-related.
I toured Fordham (both campuses) and absolutely loved it. I got accepted to Rose Hill, with a plan to commute to Lincoln Center for some classes in Visual Arts and eventually move to the Lincoln Center campus. I know they don’t have a really well known film program, but I know that their NYC internships are unbelievable. Please tell me if you know anything about their Visual Arts/Film program!
I haven’t toured Emerson. I didn’t really consider it much until recently. They have a great film program and study abroad opportunities, including for film. However, I don’t know how I’ll like Boston and their internship opportunities can’t match Fordham’s.
If you could give me some advice ASAP (I have to choose by May 1st haha), I’d appreciate it!
Fordham obviously has advantages for internships in NYC, but I think that Emerson’s Film program is considerably better (usually ranked in top handful nationally). Emerson has a new Hollywood satellite campus that is supposed to be spectacular. Fordham-Lincoln Center is quite small, and it’s a liberal arts college with special strengths in performing arts. I visited it with my son, and liked it a lot, but I don’t think it has much in the way of a Business curriculum. The Gabelli School, at Rose Hill, has the Business departments. They have stringent general ed/liberal arts requirements, furthermore, so double-majoring can be tricky without a lot of APs. I think Emerson is probably a superior choice for you. They have some business-related minors.
