<p>Of course, Yale is one of the best (but in my book it's the best) universities, but how are Film Arts and theater Arts like at Yale? Is it more like "hands on" experience, theory, or a mixture of both?</p>
<p>Anyone care to give a little insight?</p>
<p>I've been researching that exact topic. From what I gather, the theater studies major is more theory than people would like, but I think the sheer number of theater extracurriculars makes up for that. For me, I don't plan to major in theater studies, so I can sort of cherry pick the acting courses I want.</p>
<p>Exactly. The strength of Yale in theater and film has little or nothing to do with the course offerings, and everything to do with the rich environment for doing things and making contacts.</p>
