<p>Soo my dream is to become a film publicist when I grow up and I was thinking of double majoring in communications and probably film studies. How are the film programs at these schools in particular the film studies classes? Even if you don't know much about the film programs and such information on the college would still be great.</p>

<p>The Evergreen State College
Ithaca College
Pace University
San Francisco State University
University of San Francisco
Marymount Manhattan
Adelphi University
Syracuse University
Loyola Marymount
Chapman University
The New School
Fordham University</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I know that Chapman and Loyola Marymount are highly regarded for film. Syracuse University, also. Cannot offer anything regarding the others.</p>

<p>You man want to consider Northwestern, the University of Michigan and UCB if they are within your reach.</p>

<p>D and I visited Ithaca college to check out their film production program. They have a modern self-contained building, the Roy Park School of Communications, dedicated to film, photography and radio. It is not super huge, (mid-sized) but contained many classrooms and studios, an equipment lending area, (where you can check out cameras, tripods, etc.) editing rooms and a small theater. I thought they were well set up for a small film production program, but you’d have to check the course catalog for critical film studies classes.</p>

<p>The campus is very modern and is on a hillside overlooking one of the beautiful Finger Lakes. It is COLD in winter! Most of the buildings are connected via passageways, so you don’t have to venture out too much in winter. The Finger Lakes area is beautiful if you are a lover of the outdoors. There are many hiking and boating opportunities. Lots of gorges and waterfalls around. Ithaca has a very liberal and progressive atmosphere (lots of vegetarian options, lots of recycling and “green” plans about). It is also home to Cornell U and there are bus shuttles between the two campuses (You can’t really walk or bike; it’s way too steep and hilly. Picture a ski resort. It’s crazy they built a university up there!) There is an exchange program between Ithaca College and Cornell U. If you are enrolled at one, you can also take courses at the other. </p>

<p>In the end, D thought the area was simply too isolated (too far from an urban center) for a film production major. It’s a beautiful place to visit in summer, though!</p>

<p>Chapman has a great film program, and from what I hear Loyola Marymount is pretty good, but is more up and coming</p>
