<p>My son is a senior this year and we are applying to colleges for Film (wants to do film production) These are the schools on our list:
Marist
Suny Buffalo
Suny Binghamton
Suny Purchase
Penn State
Fitchburg
Keene
Montclair
Emerson
RIT
University of Rhode Island
Fairleigh Dickinson</p>
<p>These are the schools that are more afforable to us. Other schools are just not afforable. My son is a B+ student when he tries. GPA is unweighted 91 and weighted 98. SAT only about 1610 but he is taking it again. He is not a good test taker. I know most of the schools you do not actually go into the program until the 2nd year. You can get accepted into the school (lets say for Communications or Art) but not actually into the major until the 2nd year. My questions are:
1) Is anyone familiar with the film program at any one of these schools? Would love to hear good and bad comments.
2)Does anyone know if any of these schools is more hands on than others as far as working with the equipment?
3) Do any of these schools put you right into the program? </p>
<p>I have another son in his senior year at University of Buffalo for Urban Planning/Environmental Design. We have an appointment there in October to see the film department. I know they are not as known for their film major as their architecture majors.</p>
<p>Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Debbie</p>
