The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) - New York Reviews
Lastly the New York campus has some nice studios, a crappy lack-luster meal plan and a shoebox dorm building.
I know this all may sound rather negative, but with a good therapist, enough financial support and a support system, the training you get is truly fantastic.
