To really say it briefly... Universities more of the academic, but not totally, Film schools hustle you to fit into the machine quickly, but may not care ultimately so long as you are crammed into some niche or other. Film schools (Like VFS) have industry people teaching, but you may not get full ratio of all experiences... Universities (Like UBC ) have more acadmics at the helm, but possibly more time to experience the gamut of production. Hopefully. I'd do a fair but of asking before deciding How's that B.
