Will I need a camera for film school?

I believe I can get need-based grants for the first two years to at least cover half of the tuition. I’m not sure. I did calculator with another college I was interested in and it came out that I would only be expected to pay $14,000 out of the $60,000 tuition.
I’m not really sure how NYU fares in comparison with grants but it does surprise me that only 60% of their students get financial aid. Where do the rest attain such a ridiculous amount of money?

If I could avoid college altogether, that’s certainly appealing. I’m aware that it’s possible to break into the film industry with no education but I feel like a college such as NYU would, at the very least, be a boost rather than working from the ground up.
I’d be able to make connections with other budding filmmakers and actors that may very well be my colleagues some sunny day.

Also, I’m a bit rusty on story telling. I feel that being in a city like New York and being around interesting people might spark something.

Believe me I’ve looked around and any college I’d be remotely interested in attending has been upwards of $40,000 per year so I’ve accepted that I will be in a fair bit of debt after the fact.

I doubt kids go to NYU and just sit around. It’s such a competitive school with some remarkable alumni. They must get something out of their education.
