<p>My best friend got into both Stanford and USC Film School, and she's having a very difficult time deciding. She is concerned that the artistic opportunities at Stanford will be too few, while the academic opportunities at USC will be lacking. Does anyone have any insight about these issues?</p>
<p>USC film school is respected all over, and is great for connections in the industry(it is in LA, after all). If film is truly her passion, I would recommend USC. If she's still questioning what she wants to do in life, I'd go for Stanford because that would certainly give the greatest academic opportunity.</p>
