<p>I applied early to BU and got deferred so now its the waiting game. I applied to Pitt on a whim decision and got it. Both schools sound great especially because I want to live in a city. Some key points are that the film and television school at boston are notoriously better, however it is much cheaper to live in Pittsburgh and go to school there.
So I ask, which school has more of a social experience? Which school will prepare me to be a better filmmaker? Which school should I go to?!?!?!</p>
<p>Pitt has more of a social experience. I say that subjectively, but that also seems to be backed up by Princeton Reviews quality of life and happiness rankings.</p>
<p>Pitt’s film program, as well as the rest of the colleges in the area like Carnegie-Mellon, is completely tied into [Pittsburgh</a> Filmakers](<a href=“Pittsburgh Filmmakers :: Find best hotels”>http://www.pghfilmmakers.org/), which is a city-wide media arts center. In that way, Pitt’s program is sort of unconventional, but it has been that way for almost 40 years. I have no idea what that means as far as making one a better filmmaker compared to BU’s program. In general, BU is better known for fine arts programs than Pitt.</p>
<p>thanks
anybody else?</p>
<p>Bassface, I would advise you to watch the Departed.<br>
In that movie, a lot of violent Irishman kill a bunch of people…in Boston. After I saw that movie, I realized that if I went to school in Boston, then a bunch of people from the Irish mafia would kill me. I do not want that to happen to you.</p>
<p>Go to Pitt. There a lot of Qdoba locations there. Also, the Oscars are in Pittsburgh.</p>
<p>Pitt and BU both lost in March Madness… tough choice my friend =P</p>
<p>thanks jumbalaya, but i honestly dont think you could be any more unhelpful.</p>
<p>Boston University. It’s important to consider the multitude of possibilities the city of Boston has to offer, whether it be internships, jobs, networking, etc. Also, 1 in every 4 people you meet in Boston is a college student. BU all the way :)</p>
<p>Just accepted to BU this morning… Ahh I have to make a decision!</p>
