tldr
The Academy of Art (San Francisco) is just another place that figured out how to scam the loan system by labeling itself a Graduate School where the $limits are higher. Yale is substantially lower priced so it's not about quality or student degree choice... it's about scamming.
- sct202 7y agoPrivately owned for-profit art school should be a giant warning to anyone thinking of enrolling.
- kjs3 7y agoAbsolutely this. My stepson (quite talented visual artist) was looking at going to SCAD. We met with the counselor, realized very quickly that they were more than happy to pile him up with a debt load that based on the odds of his getting a job in-field and his earning prospects if he did would see him still paying off his loans should he be fortunate to live into his second century.
- musicale 7y agoNo kidding. And foisting massive debt on art students just seems abusive.
