Academy of art. Is it or is it not a good school? Will I get a good job?

Everything I’ve heard about it seems kind of “advertisy” as apposed to other schools that seem kinda straightforward no nonsense.

They have a bad reputation in the creative communities as an institution that provides too little education for way too much money. There are tons of state schools that have as good of a program (if not better) and are more affordable.

If you contact them, they will send you mail/email forever. I’m sure they will provide you with more info about their capabilities, accreditation and tuition. If you have the opportunity to tour one of them, do so. No matter what other people say, you should always check these things out for yourself. Ask the students questions, like: what are you learning? are you classes challenging? have you had a good summer internship during your studies here? how prepared do you feel to get a job upon graduating? And look at their work!

As for the sports, many schools (including art schools) have athletics. That doesn’t mean they are NCAA Division 1. Artists are sporty too, and athletics provide healthy distractions from the intense world of art education.
