<p>Has anyone else thought about applying to The Academy of Art University or the Pratt Institute?
Even better, are you attending NOW?
Anything will probably be good, thank you!!!</p>
<p>I went to AAU for a bit but left after a year and a half.</p>
<p>Honestly the school isn’t that bad. Curriculum is pretty intense despite the fact that they take anyone who’s willing to fork over the cash. Most of the instructors are pretty knowledgeable and some are just really great. There are workshops available at different times of the day almost every day of the week, it’s a good way to supplement your classes. </p>
<p>The cons? Class sizes are HUGE by art school standards. We barely had enough time per person during critique. Also, I hear financial aid is pretty crappy.</p>
<p>And, I don’t know if this will be a con to you but it is really tough to get A’s in that school.</p>
