I'm creating this site because I have learned so much this year from reading other students' posts in various animation forums that I thought it would be a good idea to create a site specifically for students to share information. We could write "reviews" of different animation schools, since "what school should I go to?" seems to be one of the most popular questions on a lot of animation message boards. Also, most "how to choose a college" books tend to include student reviews of big universities, but almost never reviews of smaller, specialized schools, which tend to be the schools with the strongest animation programs. 

We could also share notes from visiting artist sessions so that everyone could benefit from that information instead of just the people who go to a particular school. (I'm pretty sure this is legal as long as we ask the visiting artist if it's okay with them.) 

We could also add tutorials in order to teach people how to do things we've learned that aren't always offered at every school, such as how to build maquettes, etc.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, it could be a place where students could come to meet and chat with other students who are just as dedicated as they are to learning the art of animation. One of the things that has inspired me the most as an animation student has been the dedication and passion of other students I've met. By creating this site, I hope to form a community where students can come to share their experiences so that we can all learn from each other, and make new friends in the process.
