I go to a school in a not so great area, and it is pretty safe on campus and really nice. Though, if you walk a few blocks down in a certain direction it is not even close to being safe alone at night.

If you're going into film/television production it sounds like school B is the best choice, because what's most important is how well it suits your career goals IMO, and then you look at cost. Plus, living with friends can go downhill very fast, even if you are very close.

School B is your best bet, based on the limited info you gave us. You gonna be able to find any more money in loans and such? Anyway, it sounds like it's going to give you the best education - which is what's most important. I'm a homebody, I really am, and I hate that I live 4 hours from home. But my education is very important so I went to the school that best served me.

You'll make friends once you're there, silly.

I agree with foa. Especially about the chances for internships. That's almost the only way you can get started without family/friend connections in some careers.

What level of school? Four year university?

I enjoyed going to school in a bad urban area. It was a good life experience. But I'm also not the best target for mugging.

All are four year universities, but I'm thinking about going for about 6 years to get a MFA in Film/Video/Television Production. I don't know if I'll be getting a masters at any of those universities though. I guess if I end up not liking School B I'll just transfer after the first year so I can get a full tuition refund.

And yeah, I'm short and relatively thin, so I have a feeling I'd be an easy target for that kind of stuff. xD

Thanks gaiz. I'm happy so far with School B. Especially since I found out the bus I live by takes me straight to the city. Now I don't have to worry about getting murdered on the subway.

Sounds like you have made a good choice.
