What College do you(did you) attend?

I've heard only bad things about the Art Institutes and how they are the worst to go to...I was planning to go to one until I talked to my counselor.

I attended University of California, Riverside.

NO, i would not.

I got a great job after school, and LOVED living in Philly, but that school in particular is a train wreck. 85% of what I learned was on my own. Most of the classes were a joke. Its an institution designed to take your money. Not to adequately train you for a future in the arts.

But of course, that might just have been that particular school. There are Art Institutes all over the country that might be better. What's your major? I would suggest finding another school.

Im getting a Bachelor's in Animation, and now i'm scouting around for places to go to after I graduate in May. Now I know to mark that school off the list. But so far I have looked at Calarts, Academy of Arts, as well as some schools in Canada for graduate programs.

The degree is good to have, but when in college, what will really help is if you make a lot of contacts. A few of those ****ers will get in good at some top companies, and knowing their names will help.

I'm going to Syracuse University and I'm majoring in Psychology. I want to transfer to the film school there though.

I'm still in high school, and have been looking at colleges with good film classes. Isn't Syracuse supposed to be solid?

From what I've heard its supposed be very good. Some film students went to LA last year for internships. They met Alan Sorkin, were seat fillers at the Grammys, and were given their own cars to drive to work with. The internship sounds amazing

Well, as far as my experience goes, the admissions guy was so proactive to the point to where he was annoying. And for me, if I were to take the animation program, it'd be about $90,000, which doesn't make sense when I'd be going to school for a $40-$50,000 a year job.

I'm from San Jose. I haven't lived there in just over 2 years, but I lived the rest of my life there. Spent some time at Evergreen after graduating from Andrew Hill.

Oh, that's cool. I thought you were gonna say something about gang activity or something. I know some people that go to Evergreen and they seem to like it. And I know one or two people that went to Andrew Hill. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the school, but I graduated from Leigh High School myself, so I live over in that area.
