OOOOO a research questions *grins* and a challenging one at that! This will take some time, if you don't mind I will start with the schools question.\n\nI can tell you this. I lived in Glendale, a suburb of LA when I was in Nursing School and made it just fine, but I, also, lived in the nurse's dorm. Of course that was a few years back. LA if a diverse and very interesting place, but the commute and traffic is nasty! Still I loved my time there. LOTS to see and do! Quite exciting.\n\nSo I am off to research and will post my findings (no, peoples, I am not waiting to copy your answers ... I will be too busy researching ;) )\n\n#4 There are several film schools in and near LA, you are close to Hollywood there *S* Here is  list I compiled for you:\n\nThe American Film Institute\nhttp://www.afionline.org./\n\nLos Angeles Film School\nhttp://lafilm.com/\n\nDavid Kagen's School of Film\nhttp://www.davidkagen.com/\n\nUniversity of California - Long Beach - Film and Electronic Arts\nhttp://www.csulb.edu/depts/fea/\n\nUniversity of California - Los Angeles - School of Theatre, Film, and Television\nhttp://www.filmtv.ucla.edu/\n\nUniversity of Southern California, School of Cinema\nhttp://www-cntv.usc.edu/\n\n#5 Both LA and New York are the best places to start.\n\n#1&2: In the online version of the LA times http://www.latimes.com/classified/realestate/rentals/\n\nhttp://www.apartments.com/partner/Results.aspx?page=results&p=latimes&rgn1=20&partner=latimes&area2=y&area4=y&area5=y&area6=y&area8=y&area9=y&area10=y&prvpg=5&rent_minimum=0&rent_maximum=99999&studio=0&onebdrm=0&type_listing=4\n\n\nI found 1 bedroom rental running from $625 - $1350/mo in the surrounding communities of LA\n\nDowntown studios from $550 - $1200/mo\n\n\nSorry, I could come up with and estimated cost of living for you but perhaps you will find this page helpful\n\nhttp://www.homefair.com/homefair/calc/salcalc.html

Los Angeles rent is EXTREMELY high.\n\nBut you do have several options:\n\nGet a roommate in a good neighborhood.\nGet a place on your own in a bad neighborhood.\nSee if you can sublet in a rent controlled area.

California is pretty expensive, especially near the larger cities. I'd recommend finding a roommate that way you can live someplace somewhat decent and stay in the city. Try Los Angeles, Hollywood area, or Long Beach. If you don't have much money, there's prolly no way you can afford to have a place of your own. I'm from L.A., but the rents have gone up so much since I've been gone that Bakersfield (which is almost 2 hrs north) is as close as I can get. I have a 2 bedroom here and pay $680 a month. In L.A. a 2 bedroom will prolly run ya $1,200+. Good luck.

http://www.tisch.nyu.edu/page/home  \n\nThe full name is Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. Their theatre program has a great reputation, given its ties with Broadway, off and off-off Broadway. Their faculty and showcase attendees are made up of agents and established professionals (producers, directors, etc.)--plus if acting is what you're interested in, you would also be meeting students and mentors in the prestigious film program as well.  \n\nGood luck!

Get an agent.  Get some headshots.  Goto some auditons.\n\nDo you live in California.  If you get the trade mags like Variety they are always looking for auditions.\n\nHave a backup plan and job because acting gis are not easy to come by.\n\nI live in New Mexico were they are getting behind the film industry big time.  Go to this website if your interested http://www.nmfilm.com/.\n\nGood luck.

New York University's Tisch School of Arts\n\nIt's an amazing program and Spike Lee teaches classes. Anyone who is accepted should feel honored.\n\nI've also heard that Stanford University has the best on the west coast.

If you live in a major film making city check craigs list for extras wanted in the talent or tv film jobs.\n\nLos Angeles has many agencies dealing with extras.  But DO NOT PAY TO PLAY!  Reputable agencies do not charge an up front fee.\n\nDO NOT PAY TO PLAY!
