Generally, no, unless one of your classmates is in a position to help you out (say they become successful). But that is actually a great reason, IMO, to go to film school. Industry networking is key, and you're bound to meet somebody through school (not only classmates, but even teachers, people you meet on internships, or those attending student film festivals).
