NYU, USC or Chapman for film Production??

<p>I've been accepted to all three programs and I'm very excited, but I am completely overwhelmed with deciding. They all seem like such great schools.
For me, money is a huge deciding factor, however they all come down to a relatively similar price (USC the cheapest, then Chapman, then NYU). The only thing is, if I go to NYU I have to do a liberal studies program for the first year and I would have to take my film classes that summer semester (so extra money and time).
I am visiting USC next week and I have already seen the other two. What I'm really looking for is the best option for having success in the film field (the school with the best opportunities). Also having a supportive community and really focusing on film is very important to me.
Any perspective from anyone else in my position, or anyone else who chose NYU, even if your not a film production major, would be great!</p>

<p>Thank you for any responses!
(I also posted this in the usc and chapman thread, sorry if it seems redundant I just want to get a holistic view).</p>

<p>I would vote with USC. Definitely NOT NYU. Transfers from NYU into Tisch are not easy, most LSP people end up in CAS.</p>

<p>She was already deferred to a program in LSP where you enter Tisch after one year. It’s not common, but it does happpen.</p>

<p>londonb-- I didnt know it was possible to leave LSP after one year, you apparently know more. I did know that the second year in LSP has more electives, which can be taken in other schools, subject to other schools approval.</p>

<p>Yeah, I thought that it was a two year program. But I asked, and I’m guaranteed into Tisch after that first year. I don’t like not being able to start right away, but If I thought it was the best program I might do it. Thanks for your replies :)</p>

<p>Going to send you a private message.</p>
