<p>LeDoniv, I can’t advise about which school is better for film/theater arts, but I can give you some of my insights. My D is a CAS student, but she is very artsy and has befriended several Tisch students of whom are her best friends. They filmed a short film at my house, 2 students were from California and 1 from Washington State. That should tell you something. They came all the way from Cal to NYC to attend NYU. Secondly, one of her friends just completed a year abroad, England and France. While in England she had a BBC internship. That is just a WOW factor and will look fantastic on her resume. Her strong suite is film and camera work. Last summer she stayed in the city and had a job working for a film production person. Another friend of hers that she is now sharing an apartment with, is doing some animation work for a woman in the field. So these kids are getting all kinds of work, while still students and they aren’t even internships. Seems like some good networking IMO. That is just to illustrate the little I know of TISCH and some of the possibilities.
My daughter does tell me that the TISCH students are a very cohesive bunch, more so than any of the other schools. They work together on everything. Go to film viewings, of which my D has attended, work in teams and pretty much stick together.</p>
