The Staedelschule is in Frankfurt......right?

yes Frankfurt, sorry don't know why I wrote Struttgard....

i can't believe you applied and got in but have no clue how to spell the name of the school and don't know what city it's in.

in any case, congratulations. it's a great place. get yourself a little better informed, and get excited! frankfurt is a decent little city, and this is a wonderful opportunity. good luck!

lol I did spell it wrong, but I assure you it was only out of pure excitement.

you say grad schools, but isn't the staedelschule course post-grad?

^ That's what I was under the impression of as well.

Also, anyone have any real knowledge of the city itself? I know I quite enjoyed my afternoon there, but most Germans I talk to have little good to say about the place.... Then again, they don't have much good to say about any city other than Berlin or Munich, and I quite like it here in Stuttgart, so who knows.

I think I might apply!

i spent 4 months in frankfurt. what do you want to know?

well, how expensive is rent in frankfurt?? I'm comparing this to New York....

...but I have a bigger concern now, staedelschule's masters is accedited in germany but I'm worried that if I decide to practice in Canada or the US I won't be able to get accredited by the Naab or Cabc. I was never really determined to get my stamp but who knows what I will want in two years. I'm stuck with making a decision and not sure what to do. It's amazing program but ....

any suggestions would be helpful...

frankfurt is almost certainly cheaper than new york.

it's a small city, rather finance oriented, but its still quite nice with a lot of students and a lot going on...

Here's all you need to know about Frankfurt:

1. rent a fast car (not from the big rental companies)
2. drive on over to nürburgring nordschleife
3. fill up on petrol and pump up the tires

that's it.

you can live very cheaply in frankfurt.

in frankfurt they have good hochhäuser, apfelwein, döner, discos. also because of the airport its one of the most international cities in germany so theres lots of nongerman food and people.
