Forgive me but most private art schools like Art Center College of Design run at about $12,000 a semester. I don't disagree with what was said about the money but perhaps it would be a bit more fair if all the articles about expensive private art schools explained just how expensive they are.

[edit] Notable alumni

The list of "notable alumni" is growing, which is a great thing. However, I notice that about half of the entries are "redlinks", meaning there is no article by that name. Having an article is the rough gauge of notability used around here. Now I have Google-checked a few names and some are certainly notable and deserve articles here. But it is also likely that there are also entries for people who are not yet notable. If there are any editors of this article that would like a good project I suggest that this list is place to start. Rather than creating a whole "stub" article, simply recording the most notable achievement (major prize, one-person show, famous work,) of the person after their names would be a start. After a decent interval, I'm likely to come back and delete the remaining redlinks. -Will Beback 06:54, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I was tempted to do some redlink weed-whacking myself awhile back, but every red link I gooogled appeared to be someone who was at least borderline notable, and a few were certainly notable and deserved Wikipedia articles. Annotating the list is a very good idea. ^Blank ^Verse 07:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

It should be noted that Roland Young isn't the singer but the AIGA lauredate graphic designer. I corrected that wrong link multiple times now. (siebenviertel)

[edit] Tuition

Adding costs/fees is a good idea, but this should then be applied to all vocational schools. Thoughts?

I don't think so. The number probably changes every year. It'd bne like listing the class schedules - just not encyclopedic. If it were somehow noted as being unusually expensive or inexpensive then that'd be different. -Will Beback · † · 23:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I deleted a few of the comparisons to other schools. on top of being incorrect, they seemed more like a PR-department's justification than a description of the school. -User:siebenviertel · † · 22:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
