Where should I go to college for Film?

Hey all. Been grappling with this for… years. Now the time has come to make a decision.

I will now list my choices and costs (after scholarships):
NYU Tisch Film School – 50000 per year
UC Berkeley – 50000 per year
Emerson College – 30000 per year
Boston University – 40000 per year
Ohio University HTC – 10000 per year

I got into all my schools, even the dream ones that I didn’t think I had a shot at. So that’s exciting. Whats not exciting is that my parents are able to cover 20000 per year, and anything on top of that I would have to take out loans for. Which means that if I went to NYU (my all time dream school and the most amazing college ever) I would have to take out 120000 and pay that back while making shit out in Hollywood. Whereas if I went to OU, my family would be able to send me on trips, do semesters abroad, not have any debt when I move to NYC or LA…

Here is my plan, as it has been since I was 12:
– Go to a four year college, preferably in a big city
– Major in film production (and, to a lesser degree, film studies)
– Move to NYC or LA and take internships and such till “I make it”

So, start talking. What should I do? Is it worth the debt to go to the Amazing NYU, or is it worth living in a small town in 90 minutes from my house because it’ll be cheap? Generally the rankings show OU as being a better program than the other schools (besides NYU), but it’s still fucking Ohio…

Also the OU program is an Honors program that takes 2 kids per year, and you basically get an MFA in film although it shows up as a BA. OU already has a quality film program (they like to boast “best in the midwest”), and on top of that I’ll be in the super special honors film…

I plan to write NYU a letter about why I should be there, what it means to me, and otherwise ask for more money, but who knows if they’ll give me anymore than they have. Even if they do, will it be enough?

Thoughts. Please. I mean, I’ve been talking to family and friends about this for months, but I’m hoping that some unbiased anonymous rational internet opinions will shed some light.

What do you guys think?

Feel free to ask more questions or get clarification, I’ll update.

Thanks!
