    Even though the school is very expensive, they offer a lot, such as housing, tutorials, and counseling. I personally have to say that the free tutorial sessions that they provide are absolutely so very helpful! There is always something fun happening on campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    Study hard and be creative. Put a lot of time into assignments. This school can be fun, but it is also academically challenging.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are very challenging, you must bring your A game! Just try your best and take advantage of all the services that the school has to offer.
    Dorm Life

    I currently don't dorm, but I have a few friends that do, they say that it is really nice. The apartments are fully furnishes and there is plenty of room to do work and call it home
    Food and Dining

    The school unfortunately does not have a cafeteria. It was closed down about 6 months ago. Therefore you will have to provide for your own food.
    What to do for fun

    Oh! There are many things! You can check out the club fair that the school offers, where you can get a henna tattoo, free pizza and drinks, play video games and even dance. the school invites you to many creative events in which helps you take a little bit of a break away from classes.
    Bang for the buck

    ugh...The school is very very expensive. A lot of people are taking loans and such things.

    Inspirational faculty, interpersonal friendships and brilliant location are my first three thoughts about SFAI. A little pricey, but what art school isn't. Well worth the experience.
    Dorm Life

    18 blocks south of school...long but motivating walk
    Food and Dining

    Pretty healthy
    Bang for the buck

    tons of thrift shop in a bit of an expensive city...try SCRAP
