I attended the NYFA 1 year film making program with high hopes. Only to find out it is a complete vas-ad. I am a young 22 year old filmmaker and took out a loan which I will be paying off for the rest of my life and I honestly feel like I threw it down the drain. As the year went on teachers stopped showing up to class. By the end of the year I had 4 different directing teachers! They say they have a "strict" policy about attendance. It turns out as long as you pay tuition they don't care what you do. I have found alot of the staff to be very rude and unwelcoming. Not to mention it is completely unorganized. On the night of graduation, they didn't even have the right diplomas to hand out, we had some other classes diplomas! When we got the diplomas they were just temporary and the real one was suppose to arrive in the mail a month later. Well from the day I've written this It has been 7 months, and I still haven't received it. I email and call the registrar and its gotten to the point where they don't even get back to me. They say its because my "grades" haven't come in, but I never received any sort of report card the whole year I was there. Don't get me wrong, there are some very VERY great people who work at there school and love there art, and wanna teach the kids. Over all I had a terrible experience at NYFA. I would seriously seek out an alternative to this school if your serious about attending. While there I would always refer to it as "NYFA The rich kids summer camp." Literally it was filled with kids throwing around there parents money not caring about the quality of the school and say anything, while meanwhile the school doesn't care because they arent getting any complaints. Thanks for your time.
