<p>Any experiences? Info on either school?</p>
<p>I’m looking into them for photography. I like Nashville, but I can’t find much info on these schools.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Hello my name is Jason Reed. I would strongly suggest going to Watkins. I am just about to finnish my first semester here and I am a photo major. I know from checking around with other schools in the area that this school has the most extensive Photography program hands down. I’m not even sure that any of the other schools teach you anything about film? here you start out learning the basics with a 35mm manual camera and work up to large format by your second semester. Currently we are working on shooting, scanning our negatives, editing them digitally and printing them in house.
As far as the school goes the people are nice and the staff is amazing at getting you where you need to be. everything is hands on here and they make any gen ed classes that you might need, simple enough to keep even our fine art majors interested. I actually write a blog for the school every week that you can check out if your interested. This is a link for my latest one but I believe that they are all on there.</p>

<p>Well if you have any questions about housing or anything just let me know :)</p>
<p>I am a graduate from the photography program at Watkins and I loved it. The curriculum is comprehensive and the faculty are all working artists. It is also very easy to take classes within other departments if you have many interests. It is the best art school in Nashville (by far) and the most legitimate. You should check out their website for more information about the programs. The students at Watkins are also very connected to the art scene in Nashville outside of school. Usually students have already had a few shows in galleries in the city before they graduate! Let me know if you have any other questions that I can answer as an alumna.</p>
<p>Thanks!
I’m definitely going to check into it more.</p>
<p>What is the art scene in Nashville like?</p>
