Hey graduates, I think a very helpful thing for those of us looking at film school would be to hear your experiences with handling the cost of your degree. Obviously film school is a significant financial investment. For instance, NYU estimates a COA of 90K per year, http://tisch.nyu.edu/content/dam/tisch/grad-film/COAGradFilmMay2016.pdf
So I'm wondering, how do you feel about the cost involved in your decision? Did you get loans to cover your education? Do you feel that the cost involved was worth it?
Are you struggling to pay back those loans or are they manageable? And how exactly are you going about paying them off? Are you using an income based repayment plan or a standard 10 year repayment plan? And what is your overall experience and thought process with how the student loans are being paid off?
Any thoughts or experiences you can share would be hugely beneficial. Thanks!
