Hey, does anyone know where I can look at reviews and critiques of different photography schools/institutes? I am currently looking at Brooks, and Seattle Art Institute. Seattle Art Institute, is only two years, and really expensive, but I live in Washington. Brooks looked good, but i read a review by a current student that said:
"brooks is not an art school, so dont come if you like doing everything your own way. this school gives you the tools and resoucres to know how to do anything and everything in photography (including the parts you may not want to have anything to do with). brooks is a great school if you like commerical, underwater or industrial photography. The location is awesome (sunny and 70 year around), but costs way too much. my three bedroom house is 2150 a month (which is a steal compared to some), split between thre people. If you want to do commerical work in LA, then brooks could be the place for you." so now i dont know if its the school for me... any suggestions?
thanks!

What kind of photography do you want to do? Fine Art? PJ? Weddings? Commercial? Editorial? Fashion?

Do you want a narrowly focused program with only photography related courses, or a 4yr university program with broad curriculum?

As far as evaluating individual programs, I suggest that you take a look at the work of students and recent alumni. Are they doing the kind of work you want to be doing?

There are a lot of good photography programs with a wide variety of curricula available all over the country. Are you only willing to go to west coast schools?

What do you want to do with your photography and have you ever considered a public university?

I've heard Brooks was extremly lax with some of it's core academics.

I've heard the same thing for years.
