    Columbia College Chicago vs Ohio University

    Hi all, I'm considering both these universities mostly because of the financial aid/scholarships they've offered.

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) Columbia College Chicago Directing MFA - Fall 2023

All other schools only ask it...

    Hi everyone! I got accepted into CCC's directing program several days ago. Does anyone know about this school? I've looked up some reviews from google map, but they seem to have different judgments. I got rejected by USC and haven't got interviews from Chapman, LMU, Columbia and NYU. I don't...
