I want to go back to school and major in fashion design, but I am unsure about going to the Art Institute (Ai) because it is a bit expensive.  My cousin from NJ went to the Art Institute in New York and took restaurant management and he loved it.  But I have heard both good and bad things about it.  Comments, please!

I went to the AIH (Houston) and recieved a degree in Visual Communication. Even though this was 12 years ago, I had friends who were in the fashion design program. They loved it. It is intense, and you cant miss any classes or you will fall behind. Its worth your money depending on what area you want to be in. Two of my friends ended up as buyers for department stores. One did go to new york but the competition is fierse there!.  I think you need to figure out what area you want to work end AFTER you finish school and then decide. The AI is good for some areas, but not for all.

If you're talking about the Medford/Somerville campus, I graduated there in 1996.  Arrogant tools?  No.  No way.  lol   I met few, if any, students I didn't like.  The professors are pretty good,although in certain areas, such as Physics, if you're in a class like Physics 101, the professors feel like they're slumming it if they're teaching that class -- but they're still smart professors.  The food?  lol  It did improve while I was there --they redid a couple of the dining halls, for instance, but I don't know if it's what you'd call the best around.  It's pretty decent, though -- certainly not a reason to avoid going there, though.  I never thought it was any worse than anywhere else.  :)  \n\nIf it matters to you, they completely redid the Tisch Library around 1996 and it was pretty nice when I left.  \n\nIt's right outside Boston, too -- you can hop on the red line (subway) and be in Boston pretty quickly -- Harvard Square is only a couple of stops down, and places like Copley Square Plaza (mall) are plenty easy to get to.  \n\nIt's a very good school -- definitely worth consideration.

for fashion designing u should give the elementry and intermediate drawing exams.if u are opting for arts then it is far more better for u.there are many institutes for fashion designing.i think one is the st.xaviers college which is famous for fashion designing.u should make ur parents understand that u are capable for this,u should show ur sheer will and ur anxiety to get into this course.\n        best of luck!

My god daughter studied this for 4 years and won several national and international competitions but the closest she's ever got to being a full time designer was working behind the counter in a jewellery shop!  Perhaps she was unlucky or perhaps thats the norm - I dont know.\n\nArt colleges across the UK deliver these courses, so I suggest you approach the closest one or wherever you fancy studying.\n\nGood luck!

I visited the SF Art Institute a few years ago with my brother, who was considering an art school for his undergrad work, and we were pretty impressed with the student work and facilities.    http://www.sanfranciscoart.edu/

First, you should ask your guidance counselor at your school and also ask your schools art and music teachers. Don't be afraid to ask. They are there to help you succeed.\n\nMy advice to you is to look into schools with Theater Arts or Performing Arts majors. This is a very important decision you have to make about your future and working in the arts. I have 25 years experience in art and now wished that I had someone that knew the full spectrum of career paths. There are many good schools to learn "theater arts". \nJulliard is a well known school for the performing arts but you might also might want to think about getting your Masters degree in Arts Management in addition to your undergraduate degree in theater arts. With the masters of arts management degree you will be able to do dance when you are young and also be qualified to move into management when you are older. Perhaps managing a theater on broadway or at a Las Vegas hotel show.\n\nDon't worry about the cost right now. There are many government loan programs that allow you to borrow the money now and repay it over 10 years. Ask your University about the student loans.\n\nHere's some links to art schools:\nhttp://www.juilliard.edu/\nhttp://www.arts.emory.edu/\nhttp://www.fullerton.edu/arts/\nhttp://rcca.camden.rutgers.edu/\nhttp://arts.osu.edu/\nhttp://www.uarts.edu/ug/pa/the/\nhttp://www.calarts.edu/\nhttp://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Music-and-Theater-Arts/\n\nHope this helps! good luck

Not sure what area of the country you are, but Florida State University has a great fashion merchandising/design major.  Have him check out their website.

Are you kidding?  Absolutely!  I knew a girl who paid her own way through college getting grants and what not and was still able to get a semester in Rome.  Learn the language the semester before you go and save as much money as you possibly can.  It is easy to travel to lots of countries from Rome and they seemed to make it easy for students to take the time to travel - unlike some other areas.  I had a cousin who went to England and she worked hard and didn't see much.\n\nOf course the friend who went to Rome went on the art program and took a light course load and my cousin was working in pre-med - could also have been the difference.\n\nThe point is that any time that anyone can travel to another country they should abosolutely do it.  NOTHING shows you more of what a wonderous world we live in and how diverse we can be - or how wonderful home is.  Go!  Go!

I used to be. I graduated many years ago. Truthfully, if it hadn't been for the Honors College, my education would have been lacking. We had special lectures and challenging courses in economics, the arts and sciences and many other fields that simply weren't available to the rest of the campus (which I think, in retrospect, was a crime because everybody could have learned from them). I'm not sorry I did it, and would recommend it to anybody. You may end up not liking it and eventually make the choice to leave the program, but at least give it a try.
