I attended Hunter College as a transfer student from 1999 to 2002 in the Film Production program. Over a period of two years I was told to wait for Film courses that would never become available. In the meantime it was suggested that I take courses that had nothing to do with film in order to maintain my financial aid. Finally in 2002 I was able to get into the much overcrowded film production 1 & 2 sequence when it was told I wouldn't be working on a project due to camera shortages. I left the program with very little, if any, film training. My ability to receive work with this degree has been a horrific experience. The faculty is over-optimistic and provide much unneeded false hope. They are not helpful or truthful and you slowly begin to get the feeling that you've been conned or someone is out there just to get your buck (even though the school is relatively cheap). I entered the program as an energetic and willing student. I left with a bitter taste. I have complained for the last five years and they have done nothing. I have no plans to pay back the program and I recommend that anyone who is considering going to this program that they think otherwise. Aaron Wooten
