 " Really fun learning experience, love our creative teachers. Being in the heart of the tech hub has exposed me to a wealth of opportunities and experiences that have shaped my growth as a designer.

The curriculum is demanding yet rewarding, covering all aspects of user interface and experience design. What sets the program apart is the hands-on learning environment and the guidance of industry professionals who bring their expertise and insights into the classroom.

Living in San Francisco, surrounded by innovation and creativity, has been inspiring. The city's diverse culture and vibrant neighborhoods provide endless inspiration for design exploration. From attending design events to exploring the city's art scene, there's always something new to learn and discover.

Working on collaborative projects with students from different backgrounds has been particularly enriching. It's taught me the importance of teamwork and how different perspectives can elevate a project. "

 " I can only speak for the Wed Design & New Media department. The program allows you to explore many areas of design to better help you find what you love. The instructors are amazing and they work in their current fields, giving you the opportunity to make great contacts. The WNM building is in a great location. I always feel safe. I would say that parking around the area is not great. "

 " AAU have great Labs for Art student. They don’t sell  foods in campus, but there are lots of places to eat because it is located in downtown SF. Thus it can be rase living expense also. Anyway, I love my school. Especially if you want to make portfolio for real field, AAU is great choice. "

 " The professors and students are great. However, the school is not recommended because it gauges you for every penny. They had the audacity to raise tuition in June during COVID-19. They also made us sign a waiver upon returning for Fall semester after COVID stating that we wouldn't try to get our money back if we got sent home for the semester. "
