<p>I want to go to NYU, but the cost is way too high!! I'm not sure if I'll get the money for it!! So I want to have a backup film school. I know USC has an excellent film school but the cost per year is exactly like NYU. I heard that Northwestern has a good film program, but I hardly know anything about them. If you guys can give me your opinion about Northwestern or any advices on this school's film program, I would really appreciate it!!</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure NU is more expensive than USC or NYU</p>
<p>Actually Concerto, NYU is slightly more expensive than NU or USC.</p>
<p>The estimated cost of attending NYU Tisch is $58,000/year. The estimated cost of attending Northwestern is $53,000. I could not find USC’s cost of attendance details on their website, but I am fairly certain it costs roughly as much as Northwestern.</p>

<p>Either way, attending one of those schools to study film is definitely expensive, regardless of which school one decides to go for. However, Northwestern can give good need-based aid. NYU and USC could potentially do the same. </p>
<p>You should also check out Wesleyan University. Even though it is a LAC, it has a well respected Film program and LACs can sometimes give good need-based aid. </p>
<p>I also recommend applying to a cheaper alternative, such as Florida State or UT-Austin in case those the private universities do not give any aid. FSU and UT cost roughly $35,000-$40,000.</p>
<p>May I suggest you look at the SCA website and see what USC offers. The new cinema complex is incredible. Also, use the search feature on YouTube. Each program in SCA has a video explaining the courses and opportunities available.
USC is known for fine financial aid. The budget for aid was increased by 8% this year. If your dream is SCA apply and see what financial package is offered. More than 60% of SC undergraduates received some type of need-based aid.
If at all possible try to visit the campus and tour the amazing complex. </p>

<p>For the incoming class of 2008-2009 the estimated cost, including books and fees:
$52,118.</p>
