San Francisco Art Institute

Great Curriculum and Supportive Staff

The classes and curriculum are mind opening. Core classes bring creative thought into the problem solving and critical thinking process. The teaching staff is supportive and accessible. This school is one of the oldest and most prestigious art schools on the west coast. It's not an easy A, students are expected to participate and produce expressive work during their time at school. The campus is small, but also has a supportive and accessible teaching and administrative staff.

Roommate Is the Affordable Option!

San Francisco is fabulous but also expensive. Housing options are most affordable with roommates. We were able to find subletting during the summer easily but start early for fall! The less expensive apartments go fast. Good thing is with San Fran's great public transportation system, it is easy to get to school from just about anywhere.

It's All on You

The school isn't the best with communicating messages to students. Including financial aid announcements. You pretty much have to go see the financial aid counselor on your own time and ask them as many questions as possible. They're more then willing to help but they vary from availability.
