Thanks, Maybe_Someday! That's really helpful. You definitely seem to understand where I am coming from. I love NYC and do want to experience the city for a year and come back. However, I know it can be a lonely place. I know this may be a silly question, but do people in the MA dept connect & hang out or are people aloof and go their separate ways. I know its different for every year probably, but I was just wondering what you thought of the social-vibe of the department. Thanks for all your advice!

Ok guys, I need some advice: I got into USC and NYU. I am currently living in LA, love it here, and want to eventually live here. I also love to travel. My question is: Is it better to stay in LA and make connections at USC because I want to live here, or spend a year or so in NYC, something I will never have the opportunity to do again? Academically, the programs are very similar and I love both schools, so it comes down to the experience/opportunities.

Has anyone heard from Columbia for film studies?

I've sent in my deposit and am definitely leaning towards NYU, but would like to hear from Columbia & USC waitlist before I make a final decision. I checked NYU's website which says they have around 30-35 students in the program (but that may fluctuate). I hear Columbia lets people know March 25th, so we should hopefully know in the next few days. Good luck!

I applied to the M.A. program at the following schools: NYU - Accepted USC - Waitlisted UCLA - Rejected UT Austin - Rejected Columbia - Waiting Is anyone else planning on attending NYU in the fall for Cinema Studies? Also, does anyone have a clue as to how many students are in the M.A. program?
