| Although I'm admittedly biased, I'd recommend Belmont University in Nashville. It's not that cheap but they've got access to some incredible gear - they own Ocean Way Nashville - and, when you graduate, you have a degree (BBA or BS depending on how you go about it) that you could actually use to do something in the future if the music industry doesn't pan out for you.
If you are set on SAE, I'd at least look at moving to Nashville temporarily instead of staying in Atlanta because you'll be surrounded by hundreds of studios and have a better chance of getting one of those all too important internships... |
