I'm currently in a two year course at a film school in Australia and I hate it, but I have learnt a lot from where I've started. As Alexander Akrivos said above in the comments "there are many cases of schools that exist just to make money from their students" I think I am at at one of those schools. I'm in the program to get a bachelor and I wish I'd just stayed for half a year and got a diploma - otherwise it's not really worth it unless you're at one of the big prestigious film schools.
If you can go to a film school and get your fees deferred so you pay them off as tax/debt later on, it may be worth your time, and while being at film school you will have time to do side projects to help aid your show reel and experience level. Otherwise, look into do some intern work instead.
