<p>Tisch as a whole is very prestigious. One quickly gets the sense that the industry in the city (and nation) respects Tisch graduates a great deal - probably because of the extremely impressive record Tisch graduates have. It will look very good on her resume and will give her opportunities she might not otherwise get. If she wants to write for television she’s at exactly the right place.</p>
<p>The connections are the best. I can’t think of another school with better connections. They literally have more internship opportunities than students and most of the teachers are working professionals. My current documentary teacher is constantly giving examples of what his past students did after graduating (he even hired some of them himself, and probably has worked for a few…).</p>
<p>The professors are mostly very good to superb. There are a few outliers that are easily avoided if one knows what one is doing. The single most important thing in art school is finding the best teachers, even if the class isn’t necessarily something you’re interested in. There’s no shortage of great teachers here so that’s easy.</p>
<p>As far as our reputation as students… I don’t really know, since I’m one of them. Nobody seems especially “flaky” to me. There are a few of those “film snob” types who sit around talking about Kubrick and Bergman all day with their noses in the air but nobody hangs out with them anyway. In my experience, film kids have a reputation as the most “normal” of Tischies with actors being the weirdest. Those are the only stereotypes I’ve run into here. Otherwise, people don’t really care what school you go to as along as your a decent fellow.</p>
