I can suggest an ideal safety school for you, that fulfills many of your criteria: Temple. They have a very solid Film & Media Arts department, in a city with a lot of filmmaking activity. You do not need to submit a portfolio for admission, and - judging by your posts - you might qualify for a generous financial package. Philly is a great city for young, creative people. The department offers summer and semester-long programs in SF (focusing on New Media), LA, and Venice, Italy (involving the Biennale). It’s a big university, with a diverse student body. There is Greek life, but it doesn’t play a huge role in campus life. They have D-1 Football and Basketball, for sports fans, but there is also a huge arts scene: Temple’s Music and Fine Arts schools are first-rate, and Philly attracts artists who can’t afford NYC. It might not be ideal for you in other respects, but it seems like an obvious safety with rolling admissions.
