<p>Thanks Madbean for weighing in. I have a child starting CS in the fall and it’s been very hard reading multiple threads in which someone makes patronizing statements about the CS students and program in general. My own child is entering with production experience and so, it appears, are many of the other freshman based on their discussion and chats over the summer. I’m kind of grateful that USC helped them make those connections before move-in day.</p>
<p>I think it’s important for people to understand that for the most part, everyone going to SCA has had to demonstrate some sort of passion for film but not everyone wants the same “path” to the industry. And CS certainly doesn’t appear to have room for slackers.</p>
<p>Still, I really appreciated having another parent weigh in. I asked some of the staff while on campus in the spring and most said a lot of what is posted on CC about them is inaccurate and to take it with a grain of salt. This seems to be a good example.</p>
<p>Thank you for being the voice of reason.</p>
