<p>Can someone attending the Communications School, especially a Film major, tell me about your experience in the film program?
What's the balance between theory/history and production?
I personally want to study only film, and not radio or TV. Can i avoid those if i wanted?
i like to look at film as a form of art (not necessarily "art" film). but it seems to me that NU's take on film is more of a journalistic/communication means. is it true? </p>

<p>About art...
I know NU doesn't have a particularly known art program. But can someone talk about their experience in NU's art classes in general? Is the univsersity supportive of art, and is the art scene active?
how are studios and other facilities?</p>

<p>There’s actually nothing “journalistic” about NU’s film program. In fact, journalism and film are in two different schools at Northwestern (school of journalism vs school of communications). </p>

<p>Don’t know anything about the art program. All I know is the art history program is supposed to be one of the top in the nation. NU also has its own museum on campus.
