VFS vs Art Institute of Vancouver

Greetings all,

I’m a Winnipegger planning to move to BC for school. I’ve noticed quite a few of you are VFS students or alumnists and I was initially thinking of going to AI. In the end which would you say is the better school?

-in terms of course depth
-post grad prep for the industry workload
-instructor experience
-school philosophy
-which school the industry respects more

I don’t want you to think this is a simpleton’s question boiling down to “…uh which school is cooler?!” For me, it will be at least a 30,000 dollar investment and I would like the unbiased opinons of people like yourself. I understand that the true seat of wisdom lies in the heart of the student, and not the establishment, but I would still appreciate advice on the pros and cons of both schools.

btw… the course at AI that I was interested in is the Game Art & Design program, and the one at VFS 3D animation and visual effects.

Thanks in advance.
