Great Class and Teachers

As a film major I find the teachers very knowledgable and friendly, all currently working in the field in some way. You get to start working on film projects right away, and they get more advanced and demanding as you progress. You also spend a lot of time watching films. The equipment you have access to is pretty good, however it's not top of the line stuff (no RED cameras as of yet) that stuffs a little over rated though, and what they offer is more than enough.

Ok for Vegans Most of the Time

The meal plans are a bit pricey, but they have a good variety. Usually lots of options for vegans and vegetarians, although sometimes the selection is a little lacking on the weekends. However the chefs and staff are very friendly and will usually make something specially for you if you ask politely. Also if you make a request for a certain item or meal to be added they will make an effort to meet your request.

Awesome

The teachers are very knowledgeable and friendly. The curriculum allows you to explore different aspects associated with your major as well as those outside your major, creating a good atmosphere for collaboration between different disciplines. You have access to pretty good equipment, however some of it is not the top industry standard equipment.
