Hello, I am new on the boards and i need help picking a school. Right now, USC and NYU are my top choices but i'm looking at Columbia College Chicago and Ithaca College for my two "best fit" schools.

In anyone's opinion, which is better, Ithaca or COlumbia College? Or should i avoid both....any help would be appriciated!

Columbia has a better program for film but itaca isn't too far behind... however ithaca has it's advantages, it's been rated one of the most beautiful campuses in the country while columbia is spread out over chicago, also because Ithaca has less people in it's program it's esaier to stand out. Ithaca is also very close to New York city and has numerous study-abroad programs to LA and London... it really depends on what you prefer

what about syrancuse? is it a good film school, or is the journalism major any better?

syracuse is going to have a really good communications prgram, they just finished construction on their newhouse III school of communications which has really great television facilities, for an east coast school that's not in NYC, im not sure how their actual film major is though
