In my opinion you would save a ton of money from rent etc. if you take online classes.To be honest the only schools I'm considering are FZD and Syn studios. Concept design academy looks very good for the much smaller price tag when compared to other, however I am from europe, I'd need an accredited course to stay in the country, which CDA is not.
Although Art Center is still considered the best school, its incredibly expensive and even top tear concept artists work for many years to pay it off. I heard a lot of instructors from Art center moved to Concept Design Academy and many Art Center students drop out to transfer there as well.
I think online classes from https://www.conceptartworkshop.com/ or http://www.brainstormschool.com/courses/ are great way to learn the same stuff you are gonna study in a top tear uni.
I don't think its worth it to go to uni if you don't have the money or live too far away (lets say Europe). You can make almost the same curriculum on your own with online classes. However if you have the money I would recommend Concept design academy. If I could i would totally go there, because I think its more inspiring and motivational to hang out with people who study the same stuff and have the same ambitions rather than chatting with them online.
Anyways if you choose a school, contact some people you find on fb who went there and ask them about student life and their review on the school
