I implore you to reconsider having anything to do with New York Film Academy, whether it be employment or enrollment. Research alumni and the faculty first. See what kind of content is emerging. You do not need an arts degree to make it as a filmmaker!

They have had various students emerge and find success, but they did not acquire their talents and ambitions there. They went in with it, and left with it, but now in debt for thousands of dollars

Know that you're smarter than that place. Go elsewhere. Like a film set or production company. Watch a youtube video. Thousands of people post free content that teach you how to set up a shot, work a camera, produce a film, etc. Or you can pay New York Film Academy to watch the same Youtube videos in class.

VETS! The New York Film Academy loves your GI-Bill. It's a huge sum of money that they can easily consume. New York Film Academy keeps up good relations with the veteran community and will make you feel more than welcome when you tour the school.

They have Vets coordinating with outreach and relations. Remember your recruiter?

Anyhow, after you leave the military and seem a little lost at adapting to real life and have ambitions to be an artist, then look no more, NYFA is here and they'll do everything for you. They know this and milk it dry.

You're smarter than that place. Go elsewhere.

The instructors, dean of my department, and financial aid offices are very helpful. The school offers an exceptional hands on learning experience with professionals in the field of study for which they teach. However, upon entry into the Riverside building it has been made clear that the receptionist are not always on the same page, nor are they update to date on policies and procedures. And should you need to book a room be prepared for a long and tedious process . Be aware that there is no housing on campus but that staff will assist you with finding housing to the best of their abilities.
I attended the NYFA summer camp. I am a senior searching for my next step and the classes offered to me were the clear indicator that I am choosing the right major for my studies. Classes were fun and beneficial to my craft. I enjoyed my time there and have learned a lot. i look forward to applying and continuing my education at this institution. I would recommend any student who is exploring this field to try a course, workshop or class there and see what it has to offer. you ill not be disappointed.
