NYC has no school tax. School taxes in NY State are traditionally tied to real estate taxes and are assessed locally. However, NYC has very low real estate taxes and has a local income tax instead. It then takes the income tax (and the real estate taxes) and make it all a part of the City budget. It then funds the school system directly out of the City budget. This is different from most local school districts in NY State, in which funding from real estate taxes is earmarked for the schools. I think the NYC system is much fairer, because it does not penalize people when the value of their home goes up. It also does not penalize elderly people on a fixed income for the increase in their home value, nor does it pit the eldery (who do not have kids in school anymore) against families with children. This kind of thing DOES happen in the rest of NY State, BTW.

Which school is better, New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts or the New York Film Academy?
Which school is better, New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts or the New York Film Academy?
I have both schools throwing scholarship money at me to attend their school over the other. I am receiving much more money from the New York Film Academy but I want to be positive about my choice. I visited both schools and toured them both thoroughly from the classes to the dorms. I just want to know which school is better for me in the long run. They both have quite a long list of big name people who came out of their schools but again, I just want to be sure.

NYFA SUCKS for acting. They're a film school NOT an acting school. NYCDA is MUCH better. My beef is with year+ conservatories and BFA/MFA programs is this. I believe in being more diverse in my training. The year+ programs can sometimes be like factories where they churn out actors who are taught pretty much the same thing through a structured curriculum. What might work for one person, will NOT work for a different person. Also, a lot of the conservatories and BFA/MFA programs have strict policies such as NOT being able to audition outside of their school or study at other places simultaneously. I think this is limiting to the actor. The actor should have the freedom to audition for outside projects and add to the current curriculum. Diversify your training: Some of the Best Non-Collegiate Schools in LA: Cold Reading/Auditioning -Margie Haber -Annie Grindlay -Brian Reise -Robert D'Avanzo -Amy Lyndon Commercials -Hey, I Saw Your Commercial! -Chris Game -Stuart K. Robinson -Stuart Stone -Killian McHugh -Francine Selkirk-Akerman -Carolyne Barry Improv (All four are great) -Groundlings -Second City -Upright Citizens Brigade -Improv Olympic Scene Study/Acting (It varies. Some schools are not for everyone. Chubbuck, Eric Morris, and Howard Fine are not for people who aren't fans of Strasberg or Uta Hagen (ie. affective memory and substitution.) Playhouse West, Joanne Baron/DW Brown, and Acting Corps are more Meisner oriented. Try to audit these places and make sure if they're for you or not. -Doug Warhit -Stephen Book -Diana Castle -Beverly Hills Playhouse -Howard Fine -Stella Adler -Ivanna Chubbuck -Joanne Baron/D.W. Brown -Tom Todoroff -Playhouse West -Aaron Speiser -Acting Corps -Vinny Guastaferro -Eric Morris Comedy: -Scott Sedita -Lesly Kahn In NY: -William Esper -HB Studios -Stella Adler -T.

Not really. Look into the CUNYs.

for urban studies, it's a fine school. for things like fashion and more artsy things, it's also good. for regular majors, i'd just go somewhere else.

I do not live in New York, I live in Arkansas. So, the answer I give you is based upon the Dept. of Education here. But, I am hoping state departments of educ. are similar since they are all federally funded. In Arkansas, the state dept. has its own website (you can google yours at new york dept. of education and find it easily). Through your state dept., you should be able to find home schooling requirements (the home school students will have to be tested every year just like the students in a public school, the scores will have to be reported to the state dept. due to NCLB laws). I know here in AR, when a parent wants to pull a student out for home schooling, the school district provides the paperwork (or, can be down loaded from the State Dept. website) for the parent to fill out to be sent to the State Dept. At that time, I also would have my counselor (I was the principal) "counsel" the parent about the needs of the student and the reponsibilities of the parent as far as reporting scores, taking state mandated tests (as per the No Child Left Behind act). and so on. After researching the requirements on the N.Y. State Dept. website, there MAY be a list of internet providers that you can contact ... or, at least there will be a phone number at the state dept. that you can call and talk to a live person to answer your questions. Browse through the list of the separate departments within the New York Dept. of Ed. and see which dept. is best suited to your needs. You can also try calling the principal of superintendent of your local school district for many answers to your questions. If that doesn't work for you, you can always try googling "virtual high school, new york" and see the different sites that are available for you to check out and see what fits your particular situation. Hope this helps.

Search for a university and see what their international students requirements are. Then u have to apply for a letter of acceptance. It will cost anywhere from 25 to 30 thousand bucks a year for international students. Good luck.
