Fordham University or Syracuse University??

[Carol_MK]

Hi everyone!!

I recently received all my college decisions, and I’m currently deciding between Fordham University (Lincoln Center) for Film and Television and Syracuse University (VPA) for Film (B.F.A.).

I love the idea of being in a big city like New York with Fordham, but I’ve also heard great things about the campus life at Syracuse, so I’m really torn. Beyond location, I’d love to hear from anyone who knows more about which program is stronger for filmmaking, especially in terms of a more hands-on learning approach.

If anyone has insight into the professors, internships and job opportunities, equipment and sound stages, or anything else about the programs and universities in general, I’d really appreciate it!

I’m also an international student, so finding a welcoming environment is important to me. Additionally, I’m currently waitlisted at NYU Tisch (my dream school), so I’d love to choose a place that will help me build a strong portfolio if I apply to transfer next year.

Thank you so much! I appreciate any advice!
