There are WAY too many students that go here (and that just live in the city) that you're just another face in the crowd. Teachers are rarely available outside of class, and the admin office just wants you out of their face.... Some of the teachers are really good, but I find the good ones to be rare. Overall, a decent school but just too crowded. Don't expect any special attention unless you're a ROCKSTAR from the beginning. I'm looking to transfer somewhere else, after my third semester....

The classes I have taken have been a great resource, and I feel I have learnt so much without feeling overwhelmed. I would highly recommend this department, they are strict, but it is well worth it, as the student's work that comes out if this department is of high quality. I have noticed there is a disconnect between Senior year students and the rest of the students though. They seemed arrogant and snooty in fact, now again that could be this batch of students, but that's what I've observed so far. Education Quality: A+, Social Life: C Have a Question?

The formality of traditional techniques is appreciated and at times over shadowing creative aptitude. This is a pisser. There in lies the personal challenge... It's easy to lose your original creative vision in a place like AAU due to the expectation of any individual instructors' interpretation of technique and which part is more valuable. Your original vision must be put on hold until you satisfy the terms of AAU instruction. I'm an older student who has sold my own art for years. I came here improve my technique and finish my degree, and I found myself double guessing what I know intuitively. I can look at this as torture or an opportunity to transform... I'm sure it's an ugly combination. I'll keep going, but I'm also sure that any future I have lies in my hands and not AAU. Surrounding City: A, Collaboration/Competitive: F Have a Question?
