Review of The Art Institue of Atlanta

**If you are a Veteran (Especially Voc Rehab) PLEA...

**If you are a Veteran (Especially Voc Rehab) PLEASE Read this:
If you aren t going to stay at this school to finish your whole degree, your credits DO NOT transfer to another Art Institute. You spent all that money and time and you can t transfer the credit. I completed an Associates at Ai-Hollywood, walked into Ai-Atlanta and they wouldn t even accept my Portfolio 1 credit. You are made to feel like you have to start over. They wouldn t even let me contact the Director at my last school to get confirmation of another class I took. YET, I am about to enroll in another Art Institute and they are giving me the credit for a few classes Ai- Atlanta wouldn t. Again, you will waste your Veteran benefits at the Art Institute. This is why our counselors don t want us to go. My recommendation is to check out the Portfolio Center in Atlanta. It is on the list for approved institutions. Had I known about the Portfolio Center I would of went there instead. BUT since I wasted my time at the Art Institute, I can t go unless I pay out of pocket. The atmosphere is more artistic, realistic for adults wanting to switch careers and the class setting is more ideal. They are very pet friendly and have a pet park in the back of the school. Great for Vets with PTSD , but even if your aren t you can bring your pet. Just go check them out and ask to sit in on a class. most of not all, of the teachers are actively working in the industry. Which makes a huge difference! Thank me later. Shout out to Dr. Folkman though. I complained about a teacher at the school, and talked about the wealth of information that Dr. Folkman gives out and an administrator said she was more like an auntie , trying to minimize her experience level. They don t even value good teachers. Save your money VETS!
