New York Film Academy: Musical Theatre department

[mariasku92]

Hi everyone.
I recently decided to apply to the 2 year musical theatre program in the New York Film Academy. However, I saw plenty of bad reviews about the school, but nothing about this particular department. So I was wondering if any of you knew anything about this program and could help me out.
I mostly want to know if this is a good program and if I would be flushing my money down the drain by attending it. If you have any stories of your own, please share them!
I'm from Iceland so I don't know a lot about schools in the United States, so it would be a big help if you would give me some advice! :)

Best,
Marķa :)

I really have no idea nor firsthand experience, but it's a pretty safe bet that if the school is awful, then the program is awful. I'd look into other 2 year certificate programs such as CAP21 and the one offered at Circle in the Square! Best of luck!

Thanks a lot :) !
