Is it possible to live and go to school in New York?
Is it possible to live and go to school in New York?
Me and my friend live in CA.We're juniors and we are thinking after high school,to move to New York on our own.Is this a realistic goal? We come from middle-class families, so we aren't rich and neither of us work. Are there schools in New York that offer housing? Should we wait a couple of years?

Only if it is upstate New York and not New York City. New York City will take a lot of money !!!! a lot !!!!! and even more. You better have a credit card with a very large limit.
2
The cost of living in New York City is incredibly expensive so make sure you have a good income. There are good colleges there and lots of other schools but the good ones are very competitive. Just make sure you have a solid plan before you go. Good Luck!
3
any goal is realistic if you put your mind and heart to it. just realize that the cost of living in New York is expensive and the schools are competitive

There are plenty of schools in NYC that offer housing. I'm from a middle-class family and I live on campus at St. John's. Its in Queens and offers guaranteed housing to all freshman. There are a ton of other schools in the city that also offer housing too. NYU and Pace University are both in Manhattan and they offer housing all over the borough. There are too many schools to list that offer housing in NYC. You could also live off campus if you want. There are plenty of neighborhoods throughout New York that you could live in and commute to school. I would definitely recommend getting a job soon though. You're going to want to save up some money for sure. Hope this helped. Good luck.

Stay in California and just don't come over here period. Don't live here to pursue whatever far-fetched dream you have. If NY isn't already in your blood (as in you're not a native, you have no family or friends here, etc.), then there is no valid reason for you to come here from far away. Utterly ridiculous.

I am currently going to Bronx Community college which is a part of CUNY. To some extent, It's like high school b/c the regular classrooms are small and have only about 30 kids. Also, the professors and students have a close relationship and communication between professors and students are frequent and open. In the classes I've attended so far, the professors don't just lecture, they have a lot of student participation and open discussions. Also, the professors really care about how your doing and is willing to help when problems arise. If they see you struggling in class, they might approach you to find out what's wrong. Anyway, I really enjoy BCC, b/c the professors, resources, and students are gr8. Furthermore, the classroom environment is very similar to the high school I attended, which made me very happy and comfortable.

Is New York Institute Of Photography a GOOD legit school?
I'm thinking of enrolling in a correspondence school called New York Institute Of Photography.I was wondering if this is worth it.Can i actually succeed in this school and in my career if i go i enroll here?

Correspondence schools in photography will deprive you of much of the added input when taking classes with other students, not just in the lab, but during critique when you get to see how they interpreted the assignment and hear their criticism of your work and others. The top schools are RIT, Brooks and Art Center ... with them you will need a 4x5 view camera for the first year. Slow, meticulous, setup, composition and exposure with the camera and perfect development and printing are essential to maximizing the time behind the camera and minimizing the time in the darkroom or in front of the computer. The New York Institute of Photography has been around a long time, so there should be a lot of alum you can contact for some good insight into the school and how well it achieves it job of teaching the student how to use any camera, anywhere, under any conditions and shoot marketable images on demand.

legit yes, good i dont think so, i have seen the work of some that did the course and well......... imagine trying to learn 2 + 2 by corrospondence........or having a hands on teacher teaching you it - and its more complicated than that it would certainly be be better than nothing, a one night a week course will benefit you far more i think
3
NYIP is legit. It is an at home course. You will succeed at NYIP as far as you will let yourself. You will get the same education as if you enter a college for photography. The education you will receive is all based upon if you are willing to push yourself to learn. This goes to say with any at home schooling or in the classroom schooling. If you do not take the schooling seriously, then your photos will not be any good....no matter if it was at home or in classroom.
4
They have been in business since 1910 so apparently they must be legit. Although its true that having the luxury of devoting 2 to 4 years at photography school would be preferable, oft times the reality of work and family take precedence. You will get as much out of any course of study as you put into it, whether in a formal classroom or via correspondence.
5
Yes, really good
6
When I decided to become a photographer full time, I already knew how to do a certain type of photography fairly well, photojournalism. However, there were types of photography that I didn't have any background in and it was obvious that I needed to get a decent grounding in them. I selected NYIP and was very pleased with them. You have to understand the limitations of the format, but the information is solid, the instruction is very well structured and you will get a solid grounding in the basics across the board. The instructors are very good and the feedback you get is as solid as the information you're taught. If you are going to take the correspondence route, NYIP is probably the best there is. You can push your photography as hard as you want with NYIP. If you do the assigned work to just the minimum requirements, you will get the minimum value. Still good, but not all you can get. Push yourself creatively and they will be right there with you. I can say that from my personal experience and I know others from NYIP (all successfully earning a living as photographers) that they had the same experience. It won't be like taking classes at a school and it can't be. However, some of the legitimate shortcomings that have been pointed out are easily compensated for if there is an active photography club in your area. You can find the cross-fertilization of ideas, supportive creative energy, etc. there. You will also need to supplement the material with more advanced stuff. You would do that anyway, anywere. Everything will depend on you, what you bring to the table. NYIP will keep their part of the bargain. I have a very different opinion of NYIP than my esteemed colleague FF69, but, and I am sure he would agree with this, we have different perspectives about photography. Vance

Does anyone have specific information about New School University in New York City?
I am going to attend The New School University in New York City this fall and would like anyone to comment if they have any postive or negative information about this school. I am very excited to be a part of this place. However, the tuition in rather high. It is about $30,000 a year. Does that seem like alot for a liberal art's degree(I'am going for a BA) All of my friends think that I am very lucky to be a part of this school. After I take out grants and scholarships, I will probally owe about $50,000. Is that an average amount to be in debt for an education? Isn't it sad that it costs so much money for a education? All of the good colleges in NYC are so high. My friend went to Columbia and is over $70,000 in debt. If anyone has information or facts about The New School, please speak your mind. Thanks

Congratulations! I know you are going to have an amazing experience. Your friends are right and you are very lucky to have such an opportunity. Its priceless. How exciting- New York, good school, cool friends and you'll probably meet a lot of good contacts for the future too. Once you'll start you are probably going to enjoy it so much you won't be thinking too much about $ aspect, and when you graduate you'll then know how worth it - it was. Imagine- saving right now $$$ but going to some community college in some boring town without any prestige or future references for the future. Would you be happy then saving money? Probably not! Good Luck. I'm sure you won't regret it. However....settling for second best and it might just bite you in the ass for the rest of your life! ; )

Yeah it's a good school (part of Columbia if I'm not correct) but I mean...you're going to get out of the school and be able to make maybe 30-40k with your degree...it's up to you ultimately, and depends on what you want to do and how you want to live until you get there. (plus rent in nyc is brutal...I live in Queens and it's still brutal...I'm talking at least 1200-1300 a month in the city for a box apartment...) If you want to go on and get your phd in say psychology or organizational behavior then you'll be in a good position with a new school degree however.

Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult for international students to get scholarships. If you were in the U.S., the process would be to do very well in school, apply to the schools and get accepted, and fill out a form called the FAFSA, which colleges use to determine your financial status and what type of financial aid you may get. As an international student, you probably would have to have already made a splash in fashion, so that you would be so desirable for the school that they would be willing to give you one of their very few scholarships.

First of all, acting schools in general tend to be pretty useless, or so i've heard. I know allot of people in the business and the main thing that i have learned from acting classes is that they only mess up your acting. I would say the New York Film Academy. I am actually going this summer, but for a different program, not acting, and its really great. There are different places around the world where you could go. Paris, New York, Los Angeles. ( etc. etc ) Its really cool . They let the actors be in movies, and that can help you to learn how to work with a director, and a camera. It seems good to me.

Strasberg Institute and Stella Adler have better reputations in the industry for actors than NY Film Institute Either of them would be very good. Both teach Method acting. You can't go wrong with either in terms of training or how it looks on your resume. Both show that you are serious about learning your craft

How many classes do high school students in New York City take?
I was considering teaching for New York Public Schools and looking at the bell schedules, I notice that they have 10 class periods a day. I am from Memphis and we traditionally took six classes a day for 55 minutes. Does 10 classes a day seem extreme. Maybe that is why the school system in New York has such a low graduation rate.
