<p>Look, USC and NYU can both do independent films. If you actually look on their website, for example, they have an expert in doing indie films as efficiently as possible coming to talk. And for more “Hollywood-ish” films, it has plenty of famous speakers constantly coming to talk with the students because it is a local place. Plus, there are plenty of actors in the area for student productions. USC however, might have more local competition in UCLA. I didn’t even apply to NYU because I am pursuing Interactive Entertainment, but I still think that USC is a bit better because it can do either type of film fine. NYU as a whole is a smaller school, but USC is smaller in terms of the actual film school.</p>
