Back when college gatekeepers took themselves, and the educations they guard, seriously, and hadn’t yet had the moment of clarity that they are only slaves to popular culture.

I think they were both right. Them for kicking her out, her for leaving.

What harm could have endured by the school just for granting her a leave of absence?

Hard to imagine Harvard to not welcome Bill Gates back had Gates’ attempt to launch Microsoft failed within a couple of years. Ditto Mark Zuckerberg/Facebook. Hard to imagine Standard to not welcome Brian Page and Sergei Brin back had Page and Brin’s attempt to launch Google fizzled within a couple of years. Not seeing a problem with a business school or an engineering school. Why should this be a problem for a film school?

She should have told them "It's okay. I'll go to USC."
