Hey I’m an incoming freshmen and I have been accepted into the film programs at California State University: Northridge, San Diego State University, San Francisco State University, Fairleigh Dickinson University, and Ithaca College I am having a hard time deciding which school I should go to. I’m from New Jersey however money is not really an issued for me because I will apply to a lot of scholarships. Any advice as to which school I should go to? I love editing, directing, and even acting. Which school have a lot of connection, internships, and the best dorm life/ “parties”? Thanks!
Well I wouldn’t count on just applying for a bunch of scholarships to pay for college.
The best chances of getting scholarship money are from the schools themselves. Outside grants, especially in amounts that can make a serious dent in the COA, are almost non-existent. If you don’t have all your money in hand before decision time, forget it (unless your parents can spring the cost). DO NOT TAKE ON ANY DEBT FOR FILM SCHOOL.
