NYU MFA Grad Film 2018 Applicants

[Yumeng Han]

Congratulations Shuyao! You have some great options to choose from, which is beyond awesome! If you decide to attend NYU, I look forward to seeing you there! Many Blessings <3

Hi there! I just accepted the NYU Grad Film offer, looking forward to seeing you in NYC.

 

[Yumeng Han]

Probably NYU. I heard that not every production MFA student gets to shoot their thesis at USC. Because they accept a lot of students (as far as I'm concerned, they accept 120 students every year, so spring and fall combined), there are quite a lot competitions.

I don't know. I'm probably wrong.

I'm still waiting more news from Columbia and UCLA.

Hi Shuyao, Congrats your offer from NYU! I just accepted mine on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing you in NYC.

Hi all,
I’m going to be going to NYU as an MFA Dramatic Writing student and I thought I’d post here as well as that thread as there’s more activity here. Does anyone have thoughts on housing? Do you guys intend to do on-campus housing or are you looking into off-campus situations etc.?

I'm looking off-campus. If you can afford on-campus go for it! I'll be looking probably in Brooklyn, luckily I have friends there that will be looking as well and have asked if I want to room with them. The main disadvantage, in my eyes, is the time it will take to get to and from campus. I'm based in Michigan but I used to live in Harlem for just under a year in 2016 and used to have to ride the subway from home to work in lower Manhattan anywhere from 30mins to an hour depending on how the subways were that day. Nights and weekends are often hell for the subways with construction and reroutes. Also the L train is supposed to be closed down for sometime coming up, which will be a major blow for transportation from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Just things to look into and consider. All of this hell for me outweighs the ridiculously crazy expenses of living on or near campus in the West Village or East Village. Though if I could afford it, I would love to live in those neighborhoods.

Thanks! I appreciate this, especially the info about the subways and the L. I’m going to be looking off campus too. The roommates on campus are just ridiculous. I spent a brief time in East Harlem, but I’m going to be looking everywhere. It’s great you have some potential roommates! We should all be so lucky. Do you have any idea if there is a way to connect to incoming students more formally via NYU? I’d love to see if there are more people searching for roommates.

Thanks for the links! I’ll check them out. All help us greatly appreciated!

FYI I created a new Student Clubs feature so you can now create your own PRIVATE forum and group for accepted and attending students (similar to a Facebook Group) right here on FilmSchool.org.

Hope you enjoy it!
