<p>I keep on getting emails from here and there's no application fee... Is this place anygood? I'm thinking about applying since they have late deadlines, etc.</p>
<p>Does everybody get the creative leaders application thingy?</p>
<p>BUMP? PLease?</p>
<p>I know absolutely nothing about San Francisco's art institute or I would surely offer whatever information.</p>
<p>I do know that CalArts and Art Center are big names in west coast art schools. Are you looking at any of these schools or others, by any chance?</p>
<p>Hopefully someone more informed on this topic will also chime in...</p>
<p>im not applying here (going to USC) but they kept on sending me emails telling me to apply so I was curious... Does anybody know anything about it?</p>
<p>It's a pretty good school but it's in the shadow of other huge cali art school. My aunt taught some classes there, a while back.</p>
<p>I vistied SFAI over spring break, and admit that online it seems average or even lightly less. But I was visiting CCA and stopped by to see it. Well- I fell in love. The atmosphere was so welcoming and the students all seemed so comfertable with who they were and just really down-to-earth. Not sterile feeling at all. and it is actually rather prestigious. I didn't know this until I visited, but Ansel Adams was a faculty member there and annie leibovitz graduated there plus many more. Also, everything is contained in one building, which gives it a sense of a campus, while still in the middle of the city. Also, they are adding a Liberal Arts program, so that students who don't want to abandon traditional learning all together, classes are available. I really loved the school and would recomend a visit.</p>
<p>The school visited my daughter's Arts HS and my D was impressed with their presentation,personnel and student art. The distance was the only turn off: she wanted to stay in the northeast.</p>
<p>While in SF did anyone visit Acadamy of Art University?</p>
<p>Photos of the SFAI campus are sparse on their website but I found their site for renting the facilities for conferences, check out the portfolio photos: San Francisco Art Institute: [San</a> Francisco Art Institute: North Beach Location for Event Rental and Shoots](<a href=“http://www.sfai-location.com/index.php#a=0&at=0&mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=0&p=1]San”>http://www.sfai-location.com/index.php#a=0&at=0&mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=0&p=1)</p>
<p>WOW, it is truly inspirational and amazing!</p>
