Totally man, getting, and more importantly, applying good quality advice when you are learning is crucial. So it will come down to what the others said, do your due diligence and research the heck out of the schools you are considering.
One thing that maybe needs not to be said is, no matter what, you will exponentially benefit from a good solid foundation on the fundamentals first if you are after efficiency of your learning. I see too many just paying lip service to it, but not putting in the required work or half assing it in some way (I have been very guilty of this myself) and not seeing how much it affects their skills whatever it is they are trying to achieve. Don't be one of em and you'll improve in leaps and bounds.So make sure the school you choose has a good foundational program. Shortcuts that gloss over this and go straight to photobashing or 3d or whatever should be viewed suspiciously.
If you're not going to go into years of debt just to go to a school, then they can become a better option, but yeah, 50k a year for 4 years at ArtCentre is still steep and takes the piss a little bit. Fzd has the benefit of brevity for around the same annual cost if you keep in mind that you will be heavily pushed past any healthy way of living for that year and from what i have seen of the student work tends to have all very similar vibes even if stylistically different.
I know a dude that just finished at fzd last year if you like I'll hook you guys up on fb. Just add me and say hey. Orange Pekoe up there is at syn studios now. Outing the bugger now :)
