The Art Institute of San Antonio

I wouldn't recommend going to this school. I was young and trying to do things on my own and I didn't understand the logistics of things. This school sapped all my financial aid within 2 years, putting me in 50k of debt and having to pay the rest out of pocket or through loans. Most of the classes weren't transferable. They overcharge for the quality of what they offer and it's not worth it. On top of that, I'm being harassed by a company related to them, tuition options for a payment they added on AFTER I left. Save yourself and DONT GO HERE

Do not go here. After I had an immense depression downfall that led to a suicide attempt, fractured spine, I received no sympathy from this school for failing a couple of my classes. With no warning they academically dismissed me. Online classes are so disappointing and teacher response time is lacking.

I want to start off by saying i absolutely loved my instructors that i had. Chef Hart, Chef Reboli and even the head chef, Chef Rice were all super great and super knowledgeable. But financial aid made mistake after mistake. The head guy over austin and san antonio financial aid did his best to help me but the situation as a whole was already too screwed for him to help get me out of this hole. I regret enrolling but only because of this. Again my chef instructors were amazing though. I do have to say if i could afford to pay out of pocket for it it would have been a great experience. But being $9000 in the hole for 5 classes pretty much sucks.

To be honest, I did enjoy my time here. Everyone was kind, and the students all like-minded, so it was a comfortable place to be. However, I only went there for a little under 2 years and I'm in debt over 20k. Any other school I try to transfer my credits won't take them, so all the hard work I did for a great GPA was pointless. Nothing from this school seems to be worth anything to anyone of importance. Now I owe this money for credits I can't even transfer. Time and money wasted. Didn't even learn anything I didn't already know.

Been going to the school over a year now to this point. My opinion is that it's a great school, the classes are small which allows teacher/student instructional assistance. Print lab, library and other student resources are very easy to access. I have seen student (FROM THIS SCHOOL) have jobs before they even graduate. Overall I do recommend this learning establishment despite its costly tuition.

This school is a rip off. I went for 3 quarters and quit along with some other students. Apparently, the school has multiple law suits against them from graduated students not able to get jobs from their studied field because they aren't legitimate. I was stupid and naive when I first signed up, but I now know 9,000 dollars i too much for a three and a half year course that rushes you through courses so fast, you don't even remember what you learned within the last five minutes. Most of all, this school is so obviously a for profit. They pay no mind to the needs and wants of their students, and only a hand full of professors actually care.

My S/o family paid 10s of thousands of dollars and she finally graduated after taking many courses half of them probably useless. She didn't even get to have a proper graduation because everyone is so terrified of this pandemic and they could of easily had one! Useless administration.

This is school is a great place to learn all things creative. Animation, editing, vfx, culinary, it has it all. The people at the offices and financial aid are very helpful, friendly, and kind. Lots of events happen. The teachers are extremely helpful too and quite experienced. The school overall is really good and would definitely recommend to an aspiring artist, animator, or anybody interested in the creative industry.
