<p>USC is great, obviously.</p>
<p>I know people who have gone to Emerson and have been very happy with the experience. For a film major, it is not so much about learning as it is about making connections and impressing the right people. I believe that the last semester at Emerson is in LA, I believe as an intern. They also have great programs abroad, they own a castle somewhere in Europe.</p>
<p>NYU has a good rep, but I haven't heard the best things about the atmosphere.</p>
