And the absolute best would be to find a review written by an ex-student or talk to some of their ex-students to ask about their experience.
If you google Recording Connection reviews you'll find that experiences seem to vary quite a lot depending on the student who wrote the review, so apparently they place you with a mentor in a studio and depending on the mentor you'll be treated as an assistant and they'll give you one on one lessons OR you'll be treated as an errand boy and basically you will have paid to do an internship.
If it were me, I would just call recording studios around and ask for an internship. A free one. Thu Sep 01, pm Kindly remember that these schools are, first and foremost, "for-profit businesses. The question What are community colleges in your area doing right now?

If going to L. A seems like you'll expand your contacts more than NY, go with L. What's 5 g's in the long run? Not much.
