VCA - good or bad?

I've just been offered a place at VCA (and found out I didn't make it into NIDA from the shortlist) and would love some more info/advice about VCA as I've heard many mixed reviews.

I know any school is better than none but I'm 25 and have only 1 year left of my current performance course. I'm considering trying to get work myself in Sydney after I graduate rather than institutionalise myself for another 3 years in a course that some say isn't too great.

So basically any info, or things you've heard/seen, or personal experience with VCA would be much appreciated! :-)

Thanks for the comments guys. I decided to accept the position after some careful thought. I certainly wouldn't enrol if I thought I'd be dropping out after 6 months as I don't really have that kind of time to just throw away.
It's good to hear their graduates have high eployment rates. I didn't know that and that's important to me.
So now I'm getting ready to pack up my stuff and move across the country. Once again, thanks for the comments :-)
