From online classes to commuting to study abroad, NYU has been a great and supportive school to be in! Whatever challenges come my way, I am hopeful that somehow I will find support in my school. Also, I have seen so much progress, not only in my academic world, but also as a person. As a film specialist I truly feel they provide great resources and connections to the professional world. Being in New York also offers countless opportunities for filmmakers. One thing is that they focus more on the artistic side of cinema, so if you are interested in more technical or commercial film, I would not recommend this program. But as someone interested in the artistic side of cinema, this school has given me great tools so far!

The thing to understand about NYU, and about so many other “big names” of post-secondary education in America, is that they are not “universities” per se, they are corporations, and they are run as such.
Consequently, the main focus of a corporation such as NYU will be that of business. Secondary to business is reputation. And, finally, at the bottom of the list, is education.
The professors employed by NYU are, in the majority of the cases, exceptional to say the least. Their teachings can be life-changing. NYU’s level of education is, in fact, its best “asset” to this day.
The remaining aspects of NYU, such as the insufferable bureaucracy, the administration which prioritizes business and reputation over education, and the cost of tuition, which DOES NOT even take into consideration the expenses that go into living arrangements, food, textbooks and other class materials, insurance, the unfairness with which scholarships are awarded and HOW LITTLE they are awarded, etc., leave much to be desired.
