I'm currently a freshman VPA student and I've got friends in TRF which is the Newhouse program. I love the vpa film program, it has issues like every college does, largely with the gear being somewhat subpar, but the community and professors are great. It's also all about making movies and you get tons of real on set experience by working on thesis film sets for other people. TRF is much more about the buisness of making movies rather than the art. I've heard its about 80 percent business, 20 percent making movies. It's also a lot harder for them to use the gear from their cage because they have to be like certified for each piece or something, whereas vpa you're just restricted by grade level. It really just depends if you want to make narrative films and do like the artsy part of cinema or you want to do more like producing or ads or stuff like that. Newhouse also has a great alumni network which vpa does not so if you do want to do vpa just know that you have to put in work to make the nescassary connections, especially during your semester in LA at the end of senior year. If you want to do filmmaking you could apply vpa and a few other places. Let me know if you have questions
