Quite Bright
Pros: in the city of San Francisco, a couple of instructors that actually take time to plan their classes and are respectful of students

Cons:
*class structure not conducive to learning (4-hour classes that are only once a week; 2 out of the 4 hours are never productive since neither the students or instructors can pay attention that long; I had one instructor that consistently left 45 minutes early)
*majority of instructors and staff are extremely condescending
*systems are outdated--you have to register for class in person
*cost is too high
*print shop is worse than a trip to kinkos
*school was reprimanded by a state senator for violating students' 1st amendment rights
*classes are not taught at the college level (i'm sorry, but isn't long division something you're supposed to go over in grade school...?)
*located in a rough part of town (where San Francisco's failures to provide human services and outreach, a decent police force and economic development all collide)

Advice: Avoid at all costs
Surrounding City: A-, Education Quality: F

WARNING: For those of you who are looking into the Art Institutes, carefully consider the following: The Art Institutes are a BUSINESS. There are a bunch of them all over the country and their sole purpose is to market themselves for art or fashion based students as a cheap alternative to a normal university. That's EXACTLY what the Art Institutes are: they are unaccredited community-college style programs designed to make money. The schools could careless about the students. The faculty are a joke as is the school in general. There is no on-campus housing and the campus, while in one of the coolest cities in the United States, is in a terrible part of town. My sister looked into this school. I was suspicous when I really couldn't find any concerte information on the school or programs. I then got suspicous when it was advertised on myspace. When a school advertises itself like that, a warning sign. My sister applied to it as an afterthought. She wrote an essay in five mintues, sent it to the school, and was accepted a week later. This is after getting poor grades and being uninolved. Just wanting to warn you about this school before you think about it.
