Art Institute of Design


I personally like this school more than FIDM. I wrote a little opinion blog on FIDM (Fashion Institute of Merchandising) and Frankly, the more I researched on the reviews about it was very very expensive! I found another school if you guys are interested in hearing. The Art Institute of Design! It's all over America so that's always a good thing. My friend is actually going there right now for graphic designing! He wants to make his own clothing company (= that's pretty cool. Anyway, I found some reviews about this school in various areas. Here's one that I found quite interesting. :

At first it was difficult to get up and go to school because I was used to not working in my home environment. I liked how there was no dress code for the school because you didn’t have to physically be there. I would improve the amount of lecture material. I often see teachers skimping out on the amount of lecture and making students just read from the textbook. So, in the end, I have come to discover that having a face-to-face interaction really is the best deal, at least for me. It does not allow people to hide behind the cloak of digits and wires. It is more conducive to a more honest approach and online schools have that as a challenge to overcome. Big thanks, however, to the three online instructors that were truly teachers in every sense. They gave me hope that not every class instructor is a total flop. Maybe I just need to find the right online school in the future.
