I sat in on two classes with my friend over at Georgia State, and I kinda got a taste for what it was like to have teachers who are really trying to teach, and involve their students. AIA does have some state of the art techno gadgetry though...

Also only the culinary program at the Art Institute of Atlanta is accredited, and I'm not about to give them anymore money for a degree a future employer isn't going to recognize.
The Art Institute of Atlanta is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097, telephone 404.679.4500), the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research (FIDER) for the B.F.A. in interior design, the American Culinary Federation (ACF) for the A.A. in culinary arts. The school is licensed by the State of Georgia and is HOPE scholarship eligible.
