Film School

This might not be completely helpful, but a really good friend of mine is a senior right now in a program at Ohio University with a film emphasis. She does a lot of editing for some of her courses, but has been really keeping her options open as to what she's going to be doing with her degree after school.

She did, however, get on an internship for a documentary which was being filmed / edited in NYC and Washington DC, along with another girl in her program and other people from colleges elsewhere.

She's a lot happier with it because she now has at least one "solid" connection in the industry.

I am not at all familiar with Rice's film program, but I will say that it sounds to be a more reputable name than Ohio University - with that, you might want to check out the campus and such first, have a talk with the professors and heads of the department to get a feel for it.

Even trying to find some notable alumni and trying to strike up a correspondence with others in the program could be extremely helpful.
