Is cost an issue for you? Both universities have wonderful film/tv programs. The campuses are indeed very different.
LMU has a traditional campus, and it’s very pretty. To get to Century City or any area where studios are, you could not walk as the LMU campus is a bit isolated from these areas, being a traditional campus nestled in its own area of LA.
NYU does have a campus of sorts despite what you hear, as most of the buildings surrounding Washington Square Park are occupied by the university. The area is very predominantly populated by students. But yes, the university is integrated into what many consider the most charming part of New York. No car is necessary to reach nearby opportunities.
LA’s TV and film scene is well populated with LMU grads. And my impression from visiting the campus (albeit briefly, I must admit), is that the student body is friendly and supportive, as you have heard. On the other hand, NYU has a large and diverse international student body, so I think you would find support there, too.
Honestly, for a film degree, my decision with respect to these two colleges would come down to cost.
