Describe your school in one sentence.Academy of Art University is definitely an ideal school if you have a passion for art, and you are willing to achieve success in the art world.What do you wish you had known before you came to this school?The one thing I wish I had known before I came to this school was that I should have applied for scholarships and financial aid sooner. It is somewhat of an expensive school, but it is worth it once you are financially ready.

What kind of person should attend this school?Anyone with a positive attitude and someone who wants to pursue a career in art should attend Academy of Art University. The individual must be determined and let no body step in their way. The individual must be smart and willing to do the assigned lessons, tests, and attend class every single day. If an individual wants to do it so badly to attend this college they must always stay focus on their goals. It want be a piece of cake but studying hard makes the work easier. Somehow this individual will make it, graduate from college with a job.What’s the most frustrating thing about your school?The most frustrating thing about school is finding out that I have gotten bad grades. It means I have to study much harder, do more research on the Internet, read books, and create a study group.
Attendance is important in school because I keep up with the daily lessons and assignments, and I take quizzes and tests on time. By attending school regularly I am likely to pass all my classes and I want get points deducted from my grade.
Also by being in school every day it gives me a chance to learn more about college and scholarship opportunities.

Describe your school in one sentence.The Academy of Art university is a very masterly apprenticeship, all while being helpful in assistanting students in the maximum level of skill in degree.Describe your classmates in one sentence.I would say most of the students at the Academy of Art University are well deteremined and strive to become successful in their own degrees, an abundance of creativity amongst the students that I have never been exposed to before, and is rewarding to be surrounded by a variety of peers with so many different skills and talent in art; whether that may be: painting,drawing,sculpture,game design, or illustrative design, the list goes on!

What do you consider the best thing about your school? Why?As I said above, the opportunity to be mentored by artists already working in the field I am studying.What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?I would tell them that I like that the school is made up of old victorian building in downtown San Francisco. Its eclectic and artistic even in the way it designed. You also get to work with professional throughout your schooling. And due to the contact with professionals in the industry, its possible to be hired right out of school.  Other art schools are theory heavy without emphasis on entering the profession after your college career, but the Academy prepares students well.  Even though its an art school, it has an amazing sports program.
