Penn State's Film Production program?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Penn State

<p>I'm a senior in high school and here's my situation:</p>

<p>I really want to go to an undergrad film school, so I applied to many film production programs. I have narrowed down my choices to:</p>

<p>Chapman, Wisconsin (Madison), Colorado (@ Boulder), and Penn State (University Park)</p>

<p>Here's my dilemma(s):</p>

<p>Penn State I know is a really big school; student life is really not an issue at all. I know what the campus is like, but I really don't know much about the film production program. The communications school really advertises the Television aspects, but I really haven't heard much about the film program. How're the facilities, and is it good? What about the professors? Is the equipment available and good?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help,</p>

<p>I just visited PSU yesterday, and looked at the film equipment (I don't plan to major in film, I was just curious). The equipment is pretty nice. The problem I heard from some students was that the first two years have very very few film classes, so the only hands-on experience you can get as a freshman/ sophomore is helping out with senior film projects. But if you like Penn State, they have everything you need to make the program work for you, as long as you're willing to put in some work.</p>
