UCLA is

Answer by owen
UCLA’s great, but only if you’re admitted to the school of theater film and television. If you only get admitted to the general college of letters and science, and you absolutely positively 100% know that directing/acting/arts stuff is what you want to do, then don’t go to UCLA just for the sake of going to UCLA. If you to get into the film school, GO!

If, like mentioned above, you don’t get into film, then USC’s school of cinema is great. Honestly both schools are probably equally good (no one at either would honestly tell you that, but its true). Both have a plethora of amazing alumni in Hollywood, and have some of the greatest teachers you could ask for. UCLA, in my opinion, edges out USC a bit just based on tuition prices (unless you get financial aid at USC) and its location in Los Angeles as well as its overall school spirit and campus. ‘SC, on the other hand is also an amazing school, not in the best neighborhood perhaps, but certainly a safe campus, and TONS upon TONS of school spirit.

Ultimately, I’d suggest visiting both UCLA and USC and meeting with admissions staff to discuss the qualities of both. They’re great schools, and definitely worth the time.

Unfortunately, I don’t know much about FSU’s Film school, so i can’t comment on it other than Florida has humid weather and alligators. If those two aren’t your thing, then Flordia (as a state) is probably not for you.
