<p>How is their job placement? Also could you suggest more art schools on the west coast?</p>

<p>San Francisco Art Institute, Calarts, Art Center, California College of Art, Otis are all pretty esteemed but for different things.</p>

<p>Are you asking about Academy of Art University (AAU) or San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI)? They are very different schools with different reputations. </p>

<p>AAU doesn’t require a portfolio, admits all applicants, and in the bay area, is considered a real estate scam. SFAI is a school commensurate with CCA in the city.</p>

<p>This is probrably a little late to sway you, but it is a good school. Any school is good depending on how you deal with it and how you use the opportunities given to you. I took college level classes for 6 weeks over the summer and they were excellent. I’m a really good artist, but after that 6 weeks, I improved so much. The teachers were wonderful and passionate, taught me a lot, and really helped me expand (I am more of a fine arts person, but took all fashion classes there and LOVED them).
If you connect with the teachers and use their resources and opportunities , the school is a benefit.</p>
