Goldsmith later enrolled and attended the University of Southern California where he was able to attend courses by Rózsa, but dropped out in favor of a more "practical music program" at the Los Angeles City College.
Goldsmit se kasnije upisao i pohađao Univerzitet u Južnoj Kaliforniji gde je imao priliku da prisustvuje Rožinim predavanjima, ali je napustio te studije pohađao „praktičniji muzički program” u Koledžu grada Los Anđelesa.
