Really awesome if you know what you want. This university is all about the business, you don't want to muck around waiting for someone to tell you what you're going to do.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be yourself. Recruiters are much more looking for unique voices than they are people who are trying to impress.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This is a tricky question, because it's entirely self-driven. The HP/P/LP/NP system seem to encourage students to not care about class, but the more effort you put into your classes the more you'll personally get out of them as artists. This is supported by the fact that most programs allow you to pick and choose most of your classes after your first year, or even within your first year.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I've really enjoyed my on-campus apartment so far. My only complaint is that facilities are old, so things constantly need fixing.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I personally really like the dining hall. It's good around 80% of the time, and when it's not it's a good excuse to vary up your meals anyway.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are lots of parties. But if you want any sort of city life at all, you'll find yourself heading to LA often.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Again, this depends on how much you're willing to put into it yourself. Personally, as a filmmaker, I've already made such huge leaps and bounds in terms of both personal growth as a filmmaker and understanding of how to navigate the film industry after graduation, so it's been really valuable.
