Is fit a good animation school?

 I just transferred from another suny school into fit's illustration aas, planing to go into their computer animation program. The classes seem legit and suny schools around the area are the only ones I can reasonably afford, so it was a good choice for me. Unfortunately when I talked to a professor at orientation, they said that their animation major was severely lacking and I would benefit more from staying in illustration or going to any other animation school. 
 Has anyone taken the animation bfa from fit? would they recommend it? Or are there any other suny alternatives?

@leftboy the only other BFA in animation that I found in a SUNY (besides FIT) is SUNY Fredonia. I have been trying for many months to get through to the Animation dept at FIT and they don’t return emails or calls. I did see that BMCC (CUNY) has an AAS in Animation. There is also ALFRED STATE (it’s a SUNY) and they have a BS in Digital Media and Animation
