  • The Art Institute of Phoenix.... I first heard of this school when I lived in El Paso, TX and was looking to go to the one in Dallas. Once I knew we were coming back to Phoenix my senior year, I gave that up. Came back to Phoenix and it wouldn't be 5 years after I graduated that I heard AIPX would be opening. However, I was working full time and they offered no evening classes. I got my AA from Phoenix College instead. In 2002 and after three meetings of talking to the recruiter, I finally began my schooling for web design at AIPX. I'll put in bullet points of what I liked and did not like about this place. What I loved... * The people at AIPX were always amazing. I think I was lucky to have the best instructors ever. There were a couple that I would question as to why they were there, but even after graduating there in 2005, I am still friends with most of my instructors there. * The pace of classes. The way the school worked was that you went year round and between each quarter, you would have a week or two off, depending on a holiday. I liked this because it kept me in the groove of things. * Access to pretty much anything. Being a web design stupid, I also enjoyed working with video and audio at times, and I loved that the AV room was open to people. You could rent top quality cameras for any project. Just had to sign up! * School store and restaurant. I loved that everything I needed was down at the store. It was like my own personal art supply store. The food at the cafe area was pretty decent too. They have a restaurant for the culinary students, but it's always closed during class. I did eat there during an alumni meeting. Not too shabby. * Alumni Parties: After you graduate, you get on a list and every four months they plan a party for the alumni. I have been to all of them, but missed the past three. They have all been a blast. What I didnt like... * PRICE. Please please please, make sure you are full aware of how much this school is. Even with grants and loans, the school I hear is now about $90,000 for a bachelors degree. Back when I went I went for my associates, but they talked me into the BA. It was $65,000 then. * KNOW THE LOANS: You can get your regular Salle Mae student loans that you end up paying for 20 years after you graduate. That's all well and good. But keep in mind that most banks will also offer "school loans" too.. Be careful though, because they are not regular student loans. They are private loans. So when you do graduate, you wont get the monthly bill of $125... Try $800 a month. I made the mistake of needing more money and applied for a few private loans. They had no problem giving them to me because I was in school. My total bill was $90,000 with Salle Mae and private loans.. it sucks. Be careful. * While I had many great instructors there were a few that I just didn't get. And by get I mean, they didn't seem to get along with the class and was only here out of necessity. They didn't have the passion like other instructors on teaching you. So that tends to hurt the student because they haven't a clue on what they're learning * Parking (this can also be good now). Back then parking sucked because you had to share it with a couple other buildings and if you didnt get there early, you were way the hell far back. now they have a parking garage that they built just after I graduated... nice timing. So I hear it's pretty decent now. Thx AIPX.... * Job Placement: I learned that they dont just hook you up with a job after you graduate. They will put you on an email list and if a job comes up, will send you an email. Nothing is guaranteed. Over all, I had some amazing times at AIPX and made some great friends. Great school if you know what you're gettin into.
