I went to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Long, long ago. When I graduated,
Pratt was thinking about possibly buying A computer. A (as in singular)
computer. I know a few people who went to CalArts but none who graduated
(lack of funds, mostly). Most of the CalArts people I knew ended up staying
in California and wound up in the (apparently very lucrative) animation
business. They all loved CalArts, though, and spoke very highly of the
instructors.
This I can tell you for true: If an instructor with any sort of
"reputation" or clout wants to throw you out, for god's sake let him/her do
it! You'll be able to dine out on the experience for years. I nearly got
thrown out of Pratt my first year by one of the big kahunas there. I rather
double talked my way out of the situation and have lived to regret it ever
since. So, go forth to CalArts brazen boy! Go forth and hit things, shake
things, bang things till they break! They'll throw your ass out or offer
you a fellowship. Either way, you win. Believe me, it'll be more fun than
waving a dog's head on a stick at your grocer (which is more fun than you
might think).

Andersen/Anderson-however it's spelled, he still sounds like a vindictive
little man. Smells like a Napoleonic complex to me.
