<p>Totally not impossible! Quite doable, actually!</p>
<p>re: double major
Most Obies double-major (around 60%), so you’ll be in good company. Because we have distribution requirements, instead of a “core,” it’s easy to finish on time with a double major.
As a note: both Computer Science (CS) and Cinema Studies are time consuming, with assignments taking up a lot of time. That said, the CS majors have a “social lab” so folks can work together and use each other as resources. Cinema majors can get lots of support from students in other majors (theater, music composition, Creative Writing) and often network among their friends to assemble shooting crews and casts. It’s hard, but it works. </p>
<p>re: study away
As Estargrl88 mentioned: it works if you study away in a place where you can earn credits for one of your majors. Both Prague and NYU add a lot of credits for the Cinema major; I’ve known several Cinema majors who’ve done those programs and learned a lot from them. And quaere is totally right- talk to your first year adviser, as well as profs in both majors. They’ll give you specifics.</p>
