HELP: Northwestern vs. NYU for film student

<p>I have recently been accepted to both of the school I mentioned, however, I'm having a headache over which school I should choose.</p>

<p>Here's the problem: although I know NYU's film program is the best (along side USC) of the country, but I am actually accepted to the Cinema Studies of College of Arts and Science instead of the Tisch School of Art (because I began the application process too late and didn't have time for doing the portfolio, which means I will take the same film courses as with those Tisch students, but other curriculum will be different from theirs) So I still have no idea how this will work out - will film students of CAS have less opportunity, in terms of internships and such, then film students of Tisch?</p>

<p>As for Northwestern, it also has a strong major in film, smaller classes, although less great than NYU of course. Besides, I really want a great liberal art education, which seems more available in Northwestern. And the greatest disadvantage - it's not in NYC or LA area, which seems critical for film studying. I don't know.</p>

<p>What do you guys think? Which school should I choose? And does anyone has any idea about the film programs in these two schools specifically? And which one will be better if I want to pursue graduate school in this area?</p>

<p>Bunches of Thanks!!!
I really really appreciate if you can help me with this...</p>

<p>Well, I would look at your financial aid offers and the alumni of both these programs. Also, are you set on going to grad school? If so, your undergrad does not matter as much. In that case, I would take the cheaper one. Also, have you visited? That might help you.</p>

<p>NYC gave me 30,000 a yr, which means i have 20,000 loan each yr. and for Northwestern, i'm sure that they will give plenty this year, but as my dad's earning more and more, they probably will drop my aid significantly.</p>

<p>so both school may cost the same after four yrs, i guess</p>

<p>I haven't visit yet... and i probably won't...because my family doesnt have the time.. i'm in MD btw</p>

<p>I'm also interested in studying film (Screenwriting) and NYU is also one of my options. I'm still looking at all the different options there are but I would definitely like to hear more and more about what NYU has to offer. I'd like to stay in touch with you so that as we both keep on learning more about NYU, we can inform each other.
