Flexibility! AAU is the largest private accredited art university in the country. The physical campus is in the heart of downtown San Francisco, but the majority of its students are online, including me. Because we have students in online classes literally from all over the world, the school is, by happy accident, fostering an artistic aesthetic that is truly a global, communal one, because of the rich cultural exchange between all of its students. My personal photography style has been directly influenced by the weekly image assignments submitted by classmates from the likes of Sweden, New Zealand and China.

Hugo

my school is best known for fine art, especially in animation and visual art.

Aaron

AAU's online program is taught by industry professionals who bring their knowledge into the virtual classroom, and use it to push the limits of the student work. Their feedback is also more in line with what a boss would tell you, rather than a teacher. Which, when you're certain of your field of study, helps to make the experience more true-to-life.

Open admissions, easy to get into, but also easy to flunk out if you don't take your studies seriously. Encourages commitment, discourages procrastination. It's really industry oriented but still nourishes the individual artism in students. It is a very large school spread in downtown San Francisco. There's always a lot going on. What I like about it the most is that it really is what you make out of it, and the teachers might not spoonfeed you the knowledge, but they definitely help a lot. All the teachers have accomplished a lot in the industry.
