<p>Hey, so I just visited BU yesterday and actually really loved it</p>
<p>I really want to do something with film, probably production, but really really don't want to go to a film school (I visited NYU and hated it) because I'm also interested in so many other things (and films are about things, not just films) and I felt that film school was too much of a graduate school right out of high school.</p>
<p>But anyway, back to the point. I visited the university and loved it, and I also got a tour of the School of Communications, which I also really liked. The only thing is that I can't find anything concerning feelings about the school's FILM program outside of a couple rants and a couple praises from 2002-2003.
Also, how much does the University help you after graduation with jobs and stuff like that?</p>
<p>Just as a side note, other schools I've looked at with good film programs (but not film schools) and really liked have been Vassar and Weselyan, and I'm looking at Oberlin in a few days (which also has a good film department).</p>
<p>Hey! I’m actually a current undergrad in BU’s Film program so maybe I can give you an idea of what it’s like.</p>
<p>BU is a great place to explore your interests which might be good for you since you have many of them. BU stresses having a liberal arts background, so the first 2 years are usually spent taking classes in the social sciences and the humanities. I’ve taken courses in history, sociology, English, computer science, French, international relations, etc. along with film courses.</p>
<p>Although your degree will be in Film and Television, BU’s program requires you to choose either Film or Television as your major concentration. After you choose, you can take classes in Film Studies, Screenwriting, Management, and/or Production.</p>
<p>I’m actually primarily interested in screenwriting and film studies but I could tell you that the production classes in the program are very hands on and you are given a lot of creative freedom. I’m usually very impressed by the stuff my fellow film majors create.</p>
<p>As far as after graduation, I can’t say much because I’m still a junior but because our program emphasizes so many skills, I’m confident I won’t have a problem finding a decent job in the entertainment industry.</p>
<p>If you have any more questions feel free to ask!</p>
