I obtained the BFA in Film Production from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. As someone who has also attended USC's Film School as well as having taken classes at UCLA's Film Program, I thought I could offer some good perspective of what I thought of each and start with the one I spent the most time at: NYU. The Location NYU's film school is located in Greenwich Village on the island of Manhattan in New York City. Going to school in such an urban location offers both positives and negatives. On a positive note, New York City is your campus and therefore you are in the mix of all the limitless cafes, stores, famous locations, iconic neighborhoods and interesting New York personalities that the city is...

If you do not have a designated "bin" to collect all of the incoming items in your life, then these items end up being spread, stuffed, and/or stacked anywhere and everywhere. This leads to the omnipresent feeling that you have things to do, but you're not exactly sure what or where they are--and gives the impression that you are an absent-minded professor because you are trying to keep everything in your head (and that's not a particularly good place to be collecting and organizing everything, no matter how smart you are!) By having collection "bins," you have (at least) limited the possible locations. Consider buying attractive bins. The top of a box will do, but it's much more satisfying seeing...

Some people decide to attend an international university, but how do you choose one and make such a move? There are many overseas universities to choose from. Before deciding upon a single school, consider what the relations are like between the country the school is located in and your home country. If international relations are not great between the two, you should consider going elsewhere. There are many sites on the Web that will help you locate international schools according to a certain degree program that you are looking for. From there, you can follow the links to the schools and conduct your own research about how good the schools are. When researching schools, make sure that they are...

So its another year and we are faced with another round of law school rankings from the so-called "experts." The 2008 law school rankings are no different from any other year - they are virtually meaningless to the average student and should be largely ignored by you. Unfortunately, if you are planning on applying to law school this year, or applying to law school anytime in the near future, I know that you will have a very hard time ignoring the law school rankings. In fact, if you are anything like me, you'll buy copies of every magazine, book, newsletter, or crayon drawing that purports to rank law schools in any way. And you'll probably...

It is funny how what one person would consider to be little more than a minor inconvenience can become a major problem and even a significant worry for so many others. This seemingly 'small thing' can soon take on a life of its very own as something quite major until it is playing on a person's mind and haunting their very existence until they have little or no real conception of how to proceed without guidance. Fortunately, however, help is at hand in the form of this article because whilst the problem of an essay word count may be something of a minor concern for many students it is something that should not be taken for granted as it is only not a problem if you know how to handle it effectively...

I would like to present the Top 5 Things NOT To Present Yourself As A Serious Student. And to be crystal clear, serious students are those who are interested in graduate school (and more than likely, beat the competition to get in). 1. "Is this gonna be on the test?" *Heavy sigh* Not only am I not reviewing information just for my health, but oftentimes lessons learned in class are bigger than students realize. Assignments that build in critical thinking questions? These are great preparation for the skills needed in graduate school. Little do students realize, grad school is heavily reliant upon critical thinking skills. 2. "I missed class yesterday. Did we discuss anything important?" Great way to...

Not only is college tuition expensive these days, but the textbooks are too. It's sad that a college student has to spend hundreds of dollars on books that they'll only need for one semester or so. Fortunately, there's an alternative. It's now possible to simply rent textbooks from websites! Simply renting rather than buying can save hundreds of dollars, and that money can then be used for other expenses. The process is very simple. Just as there are video and costume rentals on the internet, there are also textbook rentals. All it takes is a search for the titles, ISBN, or author. Students can even rent the books for an entire semester! They will be ale to select the amount of time in which they'll...

OVERALL When choosing an LSAT course, instead of trying to determine which test preparation course is "best," you should instead concern yourself with which course will best fit your needs. Determine what's important for you: Lots of practice material with explanations and computer grading? Plenty of classroom hours? Small classes with personal attention? Easy to learn material? Once you've determined your needs, review each company to see which will fit your needs best. TEACHERS What should a good LSAT teacher possess? Experience with teaching the test and enthusiasm. When choosing a course, contact companies directly and ask who specifically will teach your course, rather than assuming that all...

Dealing with the word count for your college essay can be tricky. You've worked hard, love what you've done and don't want to lose a single word. But College Admission Officers have a very good sense of when an essay is too long, so you really don't have a choice. Some ways to approach this difficult task include: 1. Take out large chunks first. Depending on how many words you're over, it's usually best to omit large sections of the essay first, rather than try to chip away, a word at a time. If there's a point that is eating up a lot of your word count, and you feel the essay can hold together without it, delete those sentences then reread carefully. Be aware that your essay might not flow as...

Art is beautiful, and most of the time, is beauty itself. May the medium be painting, sculpting or writing, the artist knows how to capture the essence of the moment, and has the innate capability to make it stand still as time moves on. In photography, a single moment can be captured for a lifetime. So it is not surprising that these days, more and more people are thinking about taking formal training of the said craft. Many aspiring artists seek for the best photography colleges around. And you ask, what is it exactly should you be looking for in a school? What are the types of courses they give out for a shutterbug like you? More importantly, are these schools capable of honing your passion? They...

There's an illness going around that most students will catch at least once in their academic careers. No, I don't mean that pesky H1N1 swine flu, I'm talking about senioritis. It usually refers to high schoolers who slack off their senior year after they've been accepted by a college, but it also happens to undergrads who have already found a job or been accepted to a grad school or law school. So, what kind of impact will slacking off your senior year have on your law school ambitions? There are really two answers to this question. If you've already applied to a law school, your LSAC reported GPA has already been "locked-in" for their purposes. That GPA is reported to them when you apply and it's...

Summer is finally here. It's the best time for seniors. They have finished 12 years of elementary education. Many will go to college to continue their education. It is same for Chinese students. In 2008, there were 10.1 million Chinese seniors graduated, with less than 6 million will go to colleges. The education system of China is different from that of America. There is no on-going test like SAT where students can take it any time they think they are ready. In contrast, there is an annual countrywide college admission test at June 7 & 8 every year. If anyone failed or missed this test, the only chance will be the next year same time. This tradition of national test can be traced back to 605AD...

You might be eighteen and feel ready for a new adventure, but that excitement is always paired with nerves and apprehension.

One of the most powerful things you can do to get ahead in your academic life and to dramatically improve your exam results is to increase your reading comprehension and reading speed. In Japan, reading is very popular. If you were to ask any student her hobbies, chances are great that reading would be listed among them. Because of the orthography of the Japanese language, reading Japanese requires a lot of mental gymnastics on the part of the reader, and yet, or perhaps in part because of the difficulty, reading remains extremely popular. In fact you could walk into practically any bookstore and find most of the world's best-selling books available in Japanese translation. It's surprising to hear...

Imagine being able to spot the tricks and minefields laid out by the creators of an exam as important as the SAT. What a tremendous edge a student would have if she could master the skill of eliminating the obvious wrong answers. Here are the six most common characteristics of incorrect critical reading answer choices: 1. The answer choice is too narrow--the correct answer to a main idea question cannot focus upon just one idea in the passage. The main idea question is also known as a global question because it asks for a broad answer. Eliminate all answers that are too narrow to be correct; 2. The answer is too broad--specific questions require specific answers. If a question asks to zero in on...

As humans do not live on sunshine and water, we all need to consume some form of agricultural products. Depending on your choice in sustenance, they comprise plant or animal life, or both.

If you are investing in a 529 state plan, it is easy to compare. The reason is that American citizens are allowed to take any state plan, and then they can even switch between plans if they want to. That is the reason everyone wants to compare 529 plans before they actually open an account. So how do you make the comparison? What do you look for? Well, it is not quite straightforward to compare 529 plans of different states. There are too many things to take care of. However, here are some guidelines that might help you to make the comparison. 1. Look into the tax breaks the plans are offering. In fact, if your own state plan is giving you a tax break, then it is not necessary to look into the plans...

I spent the better part of 17 years in and out of higher education. Eleven of those years were invested in taking classes and pursuing degrees. In the process of having to read a lot of books and articles that I didn't really have time to read, I began asking myself, "Isn't there a more effective way to do this?" Like many of you, I had a life outside of the academic world. I had a family, jobs, responsibilities, and the desire to enjoy some portion of each week. Reading was necessary, but it wasn't something I always enjoyed. That's the way it is with academic reading... most of the things we have to read are not things we would normally select. We find ourselves falling asleep believing that the...

If you are a foreign student looking for admission into a US medical school your opportunities are on the increase. The admission doors for foreign students into medical schools are wider. With the slow-down of applications to American medical schools this means that more opportunities exist for foreign students to gain admission. That is good news for many students who look forward to attending the prestigious US medical schools. Another reason why this is happening is that US medical schools are now looking for students with diversity. There is research that suggests "well rounded" students make better physicians. This change in philosophy has brought about changes in qualifications for admissions...

At many schools, you don't have a choice of housing on campus or off campus until you're a certain age or at a certain level in school. Once you are faced with this choice, though, it can be pretty tough to decide. Before you sign up to stay on campus or rent the biggest house you can find within five blocks of school, consider some of the pros and cons of each type of housing. Pros of On-Campus Housing: 1. It's close to everything. Well, some schools have technically on-campus housing that seems to be (or is!) mils outside of the center of campus, but for the most part, on-campus housing is going to be closer to your classes and such than off-campus housing will be. 2. It's probably cheaper. Check...

Do you ever get that urge to grow vegetables, flowers or maybe nice outdoor plants, get outside and start doing it and find that there is just too much work? Or better still, you have spent a ton of time preparing your deck or yard for growing with mulching, weeding, watering and feeding only to find that your plants have become engulfed in a jungle of weeds. Are you hostage to your garden? You went on vacation once, came back and found that your plants took a nose dive and only the husks were left to greet you. I did all the above and got really dismayed with the whole growing thing until I figured it out and now I'm a guy of leisure and pleasure and I grow all my plants successfully with little to...
