<p>Let me also add something for menoloparkmom's spouse:</p>
<p>My son, a senior, was not happy with many of his fellow students in the film school his first year. He found them too studio-oriented and insufficiently intellectual. By his second year he found a group of compatible friends, male and female, to party with; act with; write scripts with; argue with; and who shared his political concerns. </p>
<p>These things will work themselves out. USC is a big place. There will be lots of students your son will like and learn from. However, if he is feeling the same way well into the second semester then he should consider moving on.</p>
