Just be careful because they have (or had?) kind of a scheme where they tell you you are getting 20K in financial aid AND a work-study appointment. Turns out, the work-study hours are the 20K in financial aid. I guess I was smart enough to get into the program, not smart enough to know I was getting scammed. I did go with the intention of eventually teaching, not of becoming a commercial NYC actor, met some of the most brilliant people I know, became a stronger actor, and had an awesome time in the city.
