<p>I am a B+ student with not so much extracurriculars but fairly committed to those I'm in now (volunteer, music, etc.)</p>
<p>I am looking into Sarah Lawrence, Emerson, NYU, and Chapman's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. What are their reputation for film studies and writing and are there any other suggestions? (Preferably California or Northeast, include New York)</p>
<p>I just got this in an email from Princeton Review.</p>
<p>The</a> Princeton Review: Television, Film, and Digital Media Programs</p>
<p>Chapman is good, it's improving greatly with the new film building and equipment. By writing do you mean creative writing or journalism or English ie literature? If you want a top education, the other schools have better reputations but are much harder to get into. What are your SATs? I would also check out Loyola Marymount University, a bit bigger than Chapman but a good film program as well.</p>
<p>i'm looking into both but more towards creative writing and English</p>
<p>Eugene Lang? SVA? Both are in New York, I imagine they have good programs, but I'm not sure.</p>
<p>My daughter originally wanted to study film at Emerson, but got into their studio television major. she loves it and has had a lot of hands on there (
when the other schools she applied to made the students wait til junior year ) she loves writing and has been able to really get into it there.
It is a little tough to get into, but if you are going into film, be prepared to send them a sample of your work. Good luck</p>
<p>What about Ithaca in upstate NY?</p>
<p>nyu does, and you could check out hofstra</p>
<p>they're both in new york. the former definitely is!</p>
<p>Maybe Kenyon in Ohio. Not sure it has film, but it has graduated a famous actor and spaghetti sauce manufacturer, Paul Newman.</p>
<p>you'll have to decide if you want creative writing or script/play writing. I know DePaul has a script/play writing major. Alot of places also offer film studies but you need to search around.</p>
<p>as far as schools go look at NYU, Chapman, Loyola marymount, Emerson, Ithaca, etc.</p>
<p>Suny Purchase (about a half hour or so from NYC) and Bard (about 1.5 hours from NYC). Both have train access to NYC fairly close by.</p>
<p>Note that the Princeton Review artical seems to focus on Film production more than film studies, which might also be a way to go (film studies is a more acedmic/theoretical approach, though most departments also have some production classes).</p>
<p>However, off of that list, Connecticut College, Goucher (not quite the northeast, but I've heard very good things about their creative writing), and Hampshire stand out to me as other schools that could possibly work for you. Also, Vassar and Wesleyan both have great film studies departments and very good English ones--they'd both be reaches given your grades, but depending on your SATs and with a good essay, you'd at least have a shot.</p>
<p>If you are looking for something that might be more reasonably priced than some of the schools listed above (not including SUNY obviously-good financial deal there), and you are willing to go a bit south, check out University of North Carolina Wilmington. BTW, the airport is just a few minutes from the school.</p>
