I love everything about this school. Sometimes, it seems too good to be true. From the campus to the professors, from the food (WHICH IS AWESOME) to the campus activities, there's this ever present sense of "I'm home."

CCAD was an awesome school to attend. I was put to major tests and passed enough of them that I earned my degree! I was sad but understanding when Mr Aschenbrand retired but I imagine the Advertising & Graphic Design program is still doing well (or perhaps, better!).
