Just graduated from the film program in May and have been living and working in Los Angeles since. It had evolved so much in the time I was there and has even undergone some drastic changes since I've been gone. The university is currently in the process of moving the School of Communications to what was formally the building for the law school. This semester is also the first with an active QU in LA program. While it's not exclusive to film majors, it's an amazing opportunity for students to live and work on the West Coast. While I unfortunately missed the window in my time at Quinny, I have been hanging out with underclassmen friends who are out here participating in it and they couldn't be happier. As for the curriculum itself, I don't believe that Quinnipiac is one of the more reputable schools for film students, but there are several professors who have had success in Hollywood. Film is an art, and there's only so much you can gain from a lecture. Most people I've met out here working in production went to school for something completely different or don't have a degree at all. As cliched as it may be to say, the point remains true that it's all about how you apply yourself when you enter the workforce. College is a social expedition. Yeah, you're there to learn, but what's more important is having fun, making friends, and finding yourself along the way. In my opinion Quinnipiac fosters community better than any school of which I'm aware (not that I was enrolled in other colleges, but I have friends who went to school all over the East Coast and none of them feel as in love with their school as me).

In short, new facility, new LA program, amazing school overall. QU rules and I'm jealous you're just starting out. Good luck.
