Film School

<p>Hey everyone. For the past 2 years of my college life, I've been in limbo I feel like. I haven't been motivated to do anything because I haven't been taking classes that interested me. My first year I went to NYIT, a technical school, for computer sciences. Hated this school, the commute, the faculty, everything about it. I was intending on taking science classes the next year but I decided to go away.</p>

<p>So I transferred 6 hours away to SUNY Geneseo with intent to do something with biology. Geneseo so far has done a terrible job of handling me as a transfer, I've gotten last picks in classes, and in the spring once again I won't be taking the classes I want. And I realized all this time I had been settling for a career that would be an easy path instead of the path I wanted. I've always been fascinated by the media, and would love to direct/produce or have anything to do with the film industry. </p>

<p>Now I'm looking at schools to transfer to, even though I hate the idea of transferring AGAIN. This time I would probably commute again, because I don't really enjoy dorming all that much. So I live on Long Island, and the search for a GOOD film school has been difficult, especially if I want to commute. I feel like if I don't attend a good film school, I won't go anywhere in the industry. At least if I don't goto NYU or Columbia for my undergrad, I can attempt to get in the graduate schools with a good education for my undergrad.</p>

<p>So any ideas? I've been looking at City and Hunter college, but I have no idea about their film programs. I'm not sure if I do want to dorm again but if I do have to I will. I also have a about a 3.0 gpa, so either way the upper ranked schools are probably out of reach</p>

<p>If you go to the board for film and visual arts majors, you will find a stickied topic called “Big List of Film Schools.” It contains just what it says, and you will be able to see all of the programs in the NYC area, go to the colleges’ websites, and evaluate whether the programs are right for you.</p>
