<p>@Zimfan Ask away! I’m avoiding finals, haha. I unfortunately don’t live in a freshman dorm. One of the freshman dorms (Brittany) is getting renovated this year, so I live in an upperclassman dorm. I wish I lived in an all-freshmen dorm because it’s harder to socialize and there seem to be less activities in my dorm. My top choice was Third North. Were you interested in any particular dorm?</p>
<p>I would say you’ll have time for a part-time job. The work is very manageable. I think the studio classes require the most work (Frame & Sequence or Sound Image). I often find myself having more free time than my suitemates in CAS. But it’s definitely based on how much work you want to put in. Some people will spend days and days doing preproduction, shooting, and editing their studio projects. Some will do it all in one day. I think the best part is that we all actually enjoy our major/classes, so the work is rarely painful to do. Most of the time, I actually like doing my class assignments! As long as you work efficiently and don’t procrastinate as much as I do, you will definitely have lots of time to work, hang out, and explore NYC!</p>
<p>Way to make me feel even more guilty. 
Film students actually don’t have finals during finals week. I wrapped up all my film classes this week! I just have one final for my gen ed next week, which is probably my most difficult class this semester and I just would rather forget it exists right now.</p>
