The type of film student depends on the school. Most film students I know from state school are the kind who haven't seen anything beyond Nolan movies or 80s John Hughes movies and think that film is their passion without having even the faintest understanding of it, and prove to be incredibly incompetent in every regard.

While most film students I know from major dedicated film schools like NYU's Tisch or USC or CalArts are different, and definitely understand a lot more in regards to film and the technical aspects of filmmaking, but still plenty are either pretentious, both with their "dream projects" and just in general, or they are actually as incompetent as most people at state schools but since they are in a better program are more showoffy and needlessly elitist.

Still not all film students are bad, have quite a few people that are both my friends and whose film work/knowledge isn't horrible, from both the state school I go too and bigger film programs.
