I feel like I am talking to a wall with you. I have explained this again 
and again. It's not about a resume. People I was in class with are not a 
resume (please don't make me repeat that yet again). My POINT is that these 
people are not cookie cutter, thus disproving your point completely. I am 
not offended in the least, I just don't want your opinion to misguide 
others because it is far from the truth (or lets say complete truth as I 
don't want to dictate what your experience was). And thus my examples which 
you don't seem to get the point of, prove that. I too am living proof as 
well. You could say 'when I was there for two weeks, I didn't have a good 
experience because....'. But no, you said it along the lines of 'If you 
like the factory thing and don't want a well rounded education'. I don't 
even think your intent is bad or malicious and more than my response is 
defensive. But you are probably also unaware that you are in essence 
calling me a poser, a cookie-cutter, etc, etc and come off with a snobby 
attitude (Probably not your intent, but all the same... ). You're calling 
BT, Paul Cole, people like that the same thing. Now if Britney Spears and 
the like went there, I would probably commend your comments (little humor).

Bottom line for the original poster is that while 'some' people may not get 
something out of it (as no school is for everyone), it is not a factory 
atmosphere. Someone mentioned it not being very personal. Well, let me tell 
you I had teachers take me out into their work force to show  me things 
first hand. I had a teacher take me to a mix session and let me co-engineer 
with a paying client. I had a teacher rent outside studio time to teach 
class in. I had teachers spending their personal time with me. I even had 
some hire me for work. If that is a factory and a poser thing, then so be 
it. But to me a poser is someone who is more concerned about image that 
substance, and thus a poser wouldn't be bothered with schooling to begin 
with. Now out of school I am still constantly networking with others I was 
in school with and it has further helped my career indirectly.  So if you 
had this kind of experience (as did everyone I went with) would you not be 
somewhat taken back by someone who went there for two weeks and said it was 
a factory?

I think I am done with my rant since I have made my point. It's certainly 
not for everyone (what place is?) but now there is a positive experience to 
go by.
