| It is interesting that you mentioned this school. I actually looked into it for my daughter several years ago. My take is that it offers high quality courses and was, overall, a very fine art school.
The foundation program was also very interesting. You don't just have the required drawing, 2d, and 3 D courses. You actually get to choose electives in those areas. For example, if you want some portraiture or life drawing, you can take this as part of your foundation. It really had an intersting foundation program.
However, I felt that it had two major drawbacks:
1. It is a small school. Thus, the offerings in some majors were rather limited. I found this particularly true in their new media area.
2. They do require a fairly extensive general education requirement when compared to other art schools, which you may consider either good or bad.
