Categories Comments Campus Safety Excellent Safety. There is twenty four hour protection on campus, and around the campus residences as well. There are security cameras all across campus, and everyone's safety and comfort if of the utmost priority.
Great for these types of students Artsy visionary filmmaker types who are prepared to take risks to get their ideas forward. There are also special fantastic classes catering to film-makers who want to specialize in documentary film-making - my personal favorites.
What to do for fun several campus drama productions, screenwriting competitions, and lots of student short film festivals to try out in.
Food and Dining Located in Southern California's San Fernando Valley, there are lots of affordable (and high end) places to dine at.
Dorm Life There is excellent dorm living.
Academic Rigor You will get an opportunity to make several productions and you will participate in every capacity. The work begins from day one. No time for slouching. You can begin making a film short (if you are ready) from the first day yu arrive here.
Tips for prospective students Research diligently before making your decision. Columbia comprehensively covers all aspects of Cinema and TV Production, so be very open when you first arrive here. As you go through the classes, you might find that you begin to fall in love with an aspect of cinema or television production quite different from what you originally thought about.
In three sentences Columbia College Hollywood is very up to date and current with the classes they offer here. It is an excellent institution with manageable class sizes and one-on-one tutoring available. It features industry professionals and utilizes its proximity to Hollywood to place students and graduates into highly valued internships.

Clubs and Activities film clubs
Great for these types of students Film, tv, and music producers.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus cool sound stage.
Bang for the buck Worth the money you spend if you use the resources.
What to do for fun For fun I write many scripts and I usually am on set, casting, or visiting major sets.
Food and Dining It's no cafeteria if your looking for one but they do have vending machines and do school bbqs every once in a while and if you are struggling with food they have a program for that.
Dorm Life One thing about this campus is there is student housing or you find your own housing or stay with someone. I recommend staying with somebody or finding your own housing unless you can afford the student housing which is also very nice just a tad bit pricey.
Academic Rigor Studies here is very hands on and you are put in all areas of film in the beginning so it lets you know whether or not you want actually be a director or if screenwriting is more your style.
Tips for prospective students If you want to come to this film school you need to really love film and have to be willing to work hard. If you put effort into any of your work you will get closer and closer to what you want.
In three sentences A small but wonderful film school that give you a hands on experience. At Columbia College Hollywood you learn about all aspects of film and get a chance to work you way into the industry.
