Film schools besides USC/NYU?

<p>So my sister is a junior in high school who is starting to put together her college list. For the past few years she has been set on doing film. I think she is planning to look at USC and NYU for obvious reasons, but both of those schools are pretty expensive and extremely selective; it is clear that her list needs to be expanded. That being said, does anyone have any suggestions for schools that still have good film programs that may not have as high a profile as USC or NYU? It would also be great if I could hear from any students that are currently studying film at other schools. As for the kind of school, she is not too sure what she is looking for; her only requirements at this point are that she doesn't want to be in rural area and she doesn't want to go to a tiny school. I would appreciate any suggestions you guys have!</p>

<p>Emerson College has a pretty expansive film program. There are several different majors or concentrations under the film category there. It is still expensive though.</p>

<p>Chapman, UCLA…</p>

<p>Wesleyan U.</p>

<p>Sarah Lawrence
Loyola Marymount
Arizona State
Cal Arts
UNC School of the Arts
Syracuse
DePaul
Boston University
U Pittsburg
Drexel (?)</p>

<p>Thanks for all of the suggestions guys! Do any of you have any additional suggestions for film schools in the Midwest? Especially in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, or Indiana?</p>

<p>As for Indiana, look at both Ball State & Indiana University.</p>

<p>Thanks KaMaMom! I’ll tell her to take a look at those.</p>

<p>Also can look into Emerson (Boston)</p>
