AADA was one of my son's choices, and it's terrific out in California. Their LA facility has one of the most amazing costumes workshops ever, and the library is great. They don't have dorms, but the apartments looked good. Of course, in LA you need a car, but that's just a fact of life! They also have a full time counselor, who provides guidance and that security that young people need, someone to ask if they need a doctor, or even just to talk.

As to the training, what we saw looked good, and the students seemed happy. It is a diverse group, which is very good, too. Different ages and backgrounds. Like a wise person in a post above said, the training is only part of it: it's the fit that's so important. Good luck with your choices!
