I went to some other schools to compare and went with Authentic because their price was the best(by a few hundred dollars, a lot when you are out of work)and their people were the most polite and helpful. I just read somebody saying you can't talk to students when you visit--that's garbage. They let me talk to anybody I wanted, as a matter of fact they encouraged it. Same with NY bar school, they were very nice. The only "trash-talking" I heard anyplace was from the guy at American who wanted 900 dollars and bitterly insulted the other schools, and practically chased me out to the elevator when I didn't sign. I work at LQ now, thanks to Authentic.
Pros: job placement, practice bars, cost
Cons: none. they were great
