Australian Academy of Dramatic Art???

Acting schools all over the country have their faults. You should think long and hard before choosing one. As far as the best, you should rely on your gut feel as all actors learn. As far as NIDA being an option I would question them letting in a football player, Ian Roberts. Having seen him perform I seriously doubt he was selected on his audition. I have worked with actors from all different acting schools and cannot say one is better than the other. You sound very bitter about your experience there and maybe lack the maturity to be an actor.
