American Academy of Dramatic Arts Summary

Again....I have not yet began classes at the academy.

I am new to the department and begin training this coming fall. I feel im not fit to give judgement on a department that i havent offically attended but what i can say is the falculty has been very kind and helpful with any questions that i may have

At this institution I attend the only group activity they have outside of class is student council. They do have a many events but they are sometimes very bad at getting the word out. If you want to know about something the front desk and the backboards regularly. The library is only opened 30 minutes before school starts and 30 mins after school ends which is at six. The tuition is incredibly for high for the the lack of supplies, the apperance of the building, and they don't provide costumes unless for exam plays. They also don't have dorms on campus, they of CHS but you would be better off finding an apartment with someone attending the school to lower the cost. Expect, what makes this school magnificent is the wonderful staff. The teachers and faulty really care about their students and know it by name. Its also a great place to my friends that last a lifetime. Plus, its right in the heart of LA.

The greatest thing about this school is there is no messing around. The faculty is here to make you get your money's worth. The more effort you put in (and i stress this a lot) the more you'll get from the program. The curriculum is very demanding and very fast paced which does give you a feel of what it will be like in the real world. And the teachers do really help you but they don't hold your hand, it's very much self-discovery. Everyone here is here for the same reason - acting so there is no added pressure to be something your not and its a very healthy growing environment. The school is really old and really cool to work in, each day you can gain more appreciation for its history and its legacy. They give you many opportunities to establish connections and let agents see you perform at the end of your year and they give you insight on acting as a business.

This school definitely gave me more money than the larger universities but it is incredibly expensive and I could have used a lot more financial help than given especially since its only a two year program. The fact you live in the city is also exciting but extremely expensive so it would have been nice to receive more money because of that. and lastly there is no food program so you have to shop for yourself which also is very unkind to your wallet, especially living in the city.
