L.A.Film School?? Worth it???

Hey.
I'm looking to go to film school and am quite attracted to L.A. Film School. I'm going to the Open House on the 23rd and thought I'd see if anyone has any experience or thoughts on the school. I saw a previous discussion on this school (2003) but it never came to any conclusion (LA Film vs. NYFA Universal).
So thoughts, comments, whatever. Welcome.
Thx.
P.S. I'm currently an intern at a Fox Television affiliate. I may or may not have an opportunity to stay here and work after my internship. Any thoughts of which is a better option: A.) Stay in a small market, a god-forsaken place, to get on-job experience, then try and work up to a bigger market? or B.) Jump in to film school, and swim (in debt)?

Thanks for reading....

I know that NYFA Universal has an Open House this Saturday (16th) so the best way to decide would be to visit both. You'd need to contact them beforehand so that they are expecting you and you also need to bring photographic ID (security is tight).

Regarding staying on at work, I can't really give any advice on that. On the one hand, you could get your big break. On the other, you could waste your life there hoping for a big break that never comes.
