<p>Hello everyone,
So I’ve been accepted into Columbia College Chicago’s film program. I applied to CCC as safety school with my heart set on Emerson or Boston U. While I did get accepted into both, I simply won’t be able to afford either school without taking out a considerable amount of loans especially if I decide upon Boston U. At CCC however I wouldn’t have to pay for anything (full ride) so I was just wondering if anyone can give me information on a few things regarding CCC. You don’t have to answer all questions but please answer!
- How is the honors program? I’ve been accepted into it but don’t really know what to expect from it.
- How is the college academically? I realize that CCC is a “artsy” school but I still would like to be pushed a little academically.
- How is the good is the film program and teachers? Is the equipment up to date? How are the facilities?
- Are there a lot of opportunities(internships)/connections for film students?
- This has nothing to do with the school but how is Chicago? I know its considered old hollywood so I was just curious if there are actually still lots of productions being made in Chicago. Would you say Chicago has more opportunities than Florida for film? I ask because Florida is where I live currently.
Thank you to anyone who answers! </p>
