"Big Box" old school, in a poorly maintained facility.
More below, but first, two of the better art schools include
1. NY School of the Arts - recently opened.  The space is
lovely, student work is outstanding, and work environment is friendly;
2. NY Studio School - Exceptional classes, and their marathons
are dynamic.

Back to "the League":
They rarely enforce basic health standards. 
The place infested with mice, and the air quality is bad in some of the work areas.   Silica dust floats around the sculpting area.  People sand their clay sculptures without mask protection, never being told that Silica is an industrial health hazard.
Students scrape and heavily sand acrylic paint in crowded classrooms, without wearing respirators. (Acrylic paint is loaded with toxic chemicals.  So everyone in the area breaths carcinogenic dust.)
Students file metals like copper, and rusted metal in small, under-ventilated classrooms, wearing no respirator.
Students use industrial sanders and wood grinders in a room with no door and half walls.  Wood dust clouds drift into the locker areas, and adjacent classrooms. (Wood dust is carcinogenic).   
Heavy sanding and cutting of particle board is permitted in the classrooms.  Particle board contains formaldehyde, ammonia and other carcinogens.
Most students are in the dark that they are harming themselves and people around them.  And the poor mice as well.

I don't know what I'd do without the ASL!  I discovered my passion for sculpture and have been helped to grow as an artist here.  This place offers a very special community which is welcoming and supportive.

People who gave five stars are sniffing magic fairy powder with a straw or crack cocaine. It's a rare and special rotten dump and I hate the place. It's not an art school it's a hetero phobic clickish club house full of weirdos, ugly creepy gay guys, potential child molesters, runaway nutcase women and others with serious emotional and mental problems. It's very expensive to attend and they actually don't teach you how to do anything but run out the front door. The fossilized students are just as whacked out as the loser instructors and the crazy homeless models they employ. The instructors are political hires because they knew someone on the board. If I knew back then what I know now I would have never become a member or even walked in the front door of this dump. A big gigantic waste of time. Also the board members and president(s) who are/have volunteered/run have manages to stay in they're positions for twenty years or more because they all have they're fat little fingers in the $89 million dollar budget. The place is rotten to the core from top to bottom, inside, out. This is an industrialized level of whacko's and zero talents all in one building.

There is no place like the League. This is a place for true practitioners of art and real artists. The sense of community is simply unmatched. They have the best teachers and best students.  There is not a time that I have been there that I didn't learn something new and develop my skill as an artist.  It's a magical place in my opinion.  I truly love the league!!! Its an awesome place for anyone who who wants to learn art seriously! There is no place in New York like it!

This is a place where we can see portraits of men and women we rarely notice  
Here we can see our selfs , superb aspects from NYC 
I saw shocking paintings reminding me how much we all learn from the “ originals .”
I saw the daring strokes of brushes. In some work I saw how the nano technology inspires the new generation of artists...
Its a must to see to believe ...
All my respect for the school teachers and instructors
