NYU Tisch vs. Northwestern (RTVF) vs. Ringling

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I am an international student from Romania and have just been accepted to NYU Tisch for Film&TV (10K/yr), Northwestern University for the RTVF major (don't know about finaid yet) and Ringling College of Art and Design for Digital Filmmaking (55K/yr). I am looking for arguments for and against each of these colleges, and personal inputs on what would you choose and why. Even though NYU is my dream school I am kind of ruling it out because of the money; Northwestern will give me some money but I don't know yet how much; Ringling is meeting full need and adding some on top. I am looking especially for reasons why not to go to any of these, especially from insiders. </p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Update: I just received my financial aid package from Northwestern (63K), I would have to pay 2.5K/yr. Can anyone give me any input on why would I choose Northwestern or Ringling? Any advice would be much appreciated.</p>
