UCLA media arts vs USC interactive media

[slowpok]

<p>Hello
I am a transfer student and I got into
UCLA design|media arts and USC interactive media in School of cinematic arts.</p>

<p>Ok. My dream is to be a film director.
But I definitely want to go to UCLA.
As far as I know, UCLA DMA more focuses on design.</p>

<p>and USC interactive media foucuses on game design.
But the problem is that I`m not 100% interested in.

But it`s hard to ignore the reputation of USC School of cinematic arts..
All of my people say that I should go to USC SCA and should not refuse this chance.</p>

<ol>
<li>Does USC SCA undergraduate students also have same opportunity as graduate students to use those expensive equipments, cameras?</li>
<li>Or any benefits of USC SCA almuni association?</li>
<li>Do you think I still could have a chance to work at the movie field even if I go to UCLA DMA?</li>
<li>Do you think it also could be an alternation to go to UCLA and take aim at USC film production for master degree?
Any advice?</li>
</ol>

<p>First of all, congratulations! Those are two excellent choices. My son is a sophomore in the UCLA Design Media Arts major and turned down USC film school. DMA is a major that is focused on Design but it is also very technologically rich. After two years in the major, he has a great portfolio. I suggest you actually look at the work of the undergrads in UCLA Design Media Arts to help you decide. Here is the link:

<p>I’m sure there is a similar site at USC to compare. Private Message me if you have more questions.</p>

<p>Good luck with the decision!</p>
