@MadSpoon23 Funny, and thank you for the insights about Columbia College.  I went to UWM for fine arts, because I lived a mile from campus. Day one of freshman orientation, I met my department head for the first time, and he asked me, "What kind of films do you want to make?" I told him, trying to sound very artful, empowering to audiences with my creative vision. And he stared at me like I was a war criminal and replied, "We don't make that kind of stuff. You should go to Columbia College!"
