Answer 1

So my brother just graduated from there and iknow a lot aboput the school.
They don't teach math or any coursees like that. It is strictly about thatre and finding your craft.
If you are very interested in acting I suggest looking into it. The have a very intersting program. My brother really enjoyed it.

Answer 2

I am a graduate of AMDA (another two year acting school), and have a number of friends who have attended AADA. No disrespect to anyone else's opinions, but you will get out of these types of schools what you put into them. My experience was that AMDA provided a solid foundation for acting technique, but there will be good teachers and bad teachers anywhere.

If you are looking for a degree, you will need to attend another type of school. If you want to devote one or two years to simply studying the craft of acting, a conservatory program might be something to look into, perhaps even after college. It depends on your goals.

It would be helpful to talk to people who have graduated from the university or acting programs you have in mind.

Answer 3

It's an acting school, not a university. The teachers are not good, you will not get a good education. You will gain nothing from attending AADA. They prey on students that don't have any acting experience.

A better acting school is:
HB Studio
120 Bank Street

Also: Catherine Gaffigan

she is in Manhattan

Answer 4

It is not a good school. Where are you located? There will be a better school nearby, and do you want a regular BA education or just acting?

Answer 5

I think they do offer those classes. I do know it is two years.
