<p>Thks mrfrizzle...yeah, I want to do well AND still have time for other activities...Columbia's courseload my be too time consuming for my tastes... </p>
<p>Plus it's good to consider the Film Studies major is listed under CAS but administered through Tisch so I will be taking Tisch classes with Tisch professors for my major's requirements. If you look at it that way, I'll be at one of the best programs for film studies in the country. Like you said, I can't really "make a mistake" when choosing between these two.</p>
<p>I do think I have an excellent chance at graduating with honors from NYU also, that will look good on any job application even if NYU isn't as highly rated as Columbia.</p>
