I agree that UCLA with no debt is the obvious choice. About a year ago, someone posted here on CC, saying that they went to CMU, took out $90,000 in student loans, had graduated a year ago, and yet haven’t booked anything. This person was very upset and bewildered, saying that they must be talented since they got into CMU, and got all this great training, and yet isn’t booking roles and is suffocating in debt. There are no guarantees in this business. If you can go to a great school like UCLA and still get great training and not have any student loans, you will be way ahead of the game!
