How does one decide on which school is best for them? Like what things should some one look for in a school? Seems like there's not enough accurate info on films school programs, just other student's opinions which may or may not be representative of the school's program.

Are there any books out there that offer up to date information on film schools? I've heard of books like "Film School Confidential" and "Complete Guide to American Film Schools" but those are 10 years old (or older).

What about internet sites that offer this same information with reviews on the school's programs, faculty, location, and other factors that students look for in a school?

thanks

AFI mostly considers applicants with film experience. I do not have a strong film experience, so that would not be the best place for me.

My undergrad degree is in sciences, btu I have taken film courses at a community college.

So I'm mainly looking at schools that offer film production degrees, has a strong faculty, and most importantly job assistance services and internship opportunities.
