NYU graduate film $300k!? Why?

[doggmapeete]

This seems crazy to me. Does anyone understand why it’s so much more than the others? Also, the third year seems like a money grab, since you’re just working on your thesis?

Can someone help me. I applied and liked the program until I started weighing it against Columbia’s two years of tuition.

Does anyone understand this?

Wow that's a crazy big amount! ? ? ?

That'll take forever to pay off.

To my understanding, a lot of the school have crazy tuition because they fund your thesis and projects you made throughout your learning there, meaning the school gave you money for your projects instead of you raising money for your own projects.

That doesn't make any sense. You're still funding it via insane tuition.

Yes..but you will have an amount automatically instead of fund rasing and don't know how much you are ending up with. If i remember correctly, chapman gives you around 15000 for your thesis? I could be wrong, but it is a big number.

Yeah, it’s crazy expensive, you’re not wrong. A lot of it is the NYU name, NYC location, and access to industry people/resources.

The third year does feel like a cash grab to many - you’re mostly paying to finish your thesis. If you’re comparing it to Columbia’s 2 years, it’s a legit concern and worth thinking hard about.

Thats one of the main reason I declined NYU. 3rd year is complete cash grab, and they actually dont fund your thesis film, you get $5k for it. They do provide equipment for rent but any other solid film school does that.

And you also have to manage funding for your MOS, OCS, the 2 other short films apart from the 300k you pay as people have said the funding they provide for those is not much which I found arrogant. The health insurance is not part of your fee which adds another $5k/yr unlike other schools where its part of your tuition. You pay so much for the alumni network and the prestige. You do get a tiny amount of push into the industry with that prestige and alumni but I feel like in the end, its on your talent and what you get out of the school that can sustain you inside the industry.

Thanks for sharing. FYI we recently added fields to the film school database with schools that provide full funding for the thesis films. You can filter by many many new fields in the database now.

I had to decline AFI because their tuition (including housing and outside expenses) was around 108K/year. I didn't receive a scholarship, and with the federal loan cap I would have had to take out private student loans. Columbia was actually more expensive (118k a year) but they gave me a scholarship so I could actually afford it without private student loans. It's actually insane how much debt these programs can put you into.

Great that they gave scholarship!
