<p>Hello everyone and happy new year!
I'm seriously thinking in attending at the s.f art institute (in fact i'm going to visit them monday), this is not the art institute of san francisco, but the san francisco art institute (tricky).
I did some research and read student reviews of different schools and this one had a rating of B, which is very good compared to the art institute of california that got a C and the academy of art. I need some advice on whether this school is any good, how easy would be to admit and whether the 24k/yr tuition is worth it. If anyone knows anything about this school i would appreciate it go give me some information. Thanks</p>
<p>I was actually seriously considering SFAI for a short period of time for photo. It has a pretty good reputation as an art school. They hardly consider grades/SAT scores, so it's pretty easy to get into academically, but the real question is the quality of your portfolio.</p>
<p>I know some sites say it has like a 24% acceptance rate and others say it has an 86% acceptance rate or something like that. I've never quite figured out which is correct! </p>
<p>I visited the campus. It's very small and really quite lovely. It's a great location of San Francisco. </p>
<p>As for the tuition, I can't recall how much general ed the school requires to graduate. I know a lot of the students go to a state school (usually SFSU) or community college for the first couple years to save money and get gen ed out of the way, then transfer to work on art for the last 2 years. </p>
<p>Good luck! Have fun on your visit! I might have gone there if they had a better art history department.</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>
