Columbia College Chicago Or SCAD

[Ranson]

Dear everyone,

I currently have offers from Columbia College Chicago Directing MFA and SCAD Film & Television MFA. CCC has offered me a half scholarship, with total expenses for two years amounting to around $110,000. SCAD's overall cost is $30,000 more than CCC. I want to focus on editing. I'm feeling quite conflicted about this. Below are the course structures for both schools. May I ask some advice? Thank you!

Columbia is more respected and I’m an alum and I got into SCAD as well, but I asked multiple people in the industry and CCC is a top film school… SCAD is not.
