Modeling school or agency?

Question: Modeling school or agency!?

I am currently a student and i am getting into modeling
I have found some schools in my area, like John Casablanca and a few others, however they are expensive!. Can i just go straight to an agency althought i have no prior experience!? If so, does anybody know of any good one that might possibly be in the Boulder/Denver area, or anything i can get recognized by!?
Thanks to everybody to helps!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Okay!. I'm not so sure on the whole talent school thing, but if that's your wish, go right ahead!. However, any agency should never EVER be 'expensive', EVER! You should never have to pay upfront for ANYTHING!, if they do ask you to pay then it's a scam!.

*Note*: I have been to the John Casablanca Talent Agency and they totally tried to screw both me and my brother!

Unless you are that 1 in a 100,000 potential supermodel no agency will see you without a professional set of photos in a portfolio, they DO NOT see people off the street!.

Do a Google search on any school to see what their actual reputation is, if they have good reports then it's an investment you need to seriously consider!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
