Help Me Weigh College Acting Programs!

OMG. I think I’m gonna cry. NO!!! No, no, no, no, no …

Carnegie is an amazing program, but nothing is worth that kind of debt if you plan to be an actor. UCLA is a great option if you plan to stay in LA afterwards to pursue screen work. It also offers you the opportunity to stay in town during the summers to take industry-specific classes that most graduates of even the tippy top BFA conservatories are still going to need, but often won’t be able to afford because of all the debt with which they made the poor decision to strangle themselves when they were 18. I can make some recommendations if you’d like.
