# 9 Reason Why I Hate Film School . . . They hinder my creative juices from flowing!

Seriously? I hate film school. It's like overly priced tuition fees and a lot of "theory" and less practice. Film studies offered in universities are probably the most boring studies ever. Students are probably learning more theories behind film making than actual film making experience themselves.

I mean, I've been there and done that. And the only thing I really enjoy about film studies in a university setting are the classes wherein you are supposed to watch one film after the other and try to dissect them. Seriously, that's a lot of fun because you're combining two things that you like: watching all the movies that you want and learning about films at the same time. The only other thing about film studies in the university that I like is the fact that we are given the opportunity to play with different kinds of music in order to find that auditive, radio connection that we find in most film soundtracks.

Think about it in this way. If there was only some way, some practical means, a more hands-on kind of film school out there, studying films and film making would probably be as much fun as it really is... It would probably be as interesting as it really is...
