MICA is a phenomenal school, there is no place better for any type of art student. Professors here really know their stuff and are more than enthusiastic about their classes. Our professors show that they care about you beyond their class and are willing to help or meet out of class. I can't think of another school with helpful & famous professors.

I've learned so much since I came here. If you want to study art this is definitely the place to be. The school is in a great part of the city; if you're smart, nothing is going to happen to you. Baltimore is a great city. We have a burgeoning art scene and it's a great place to get started. If you want to work elsewhere the school will help you.

Worst decision I have ever made. Don't go to art school. If you do, you'll find out why you shouldn't after four years.

MICA does not worth the tuition you pay for. Been here from 2017 to 2020, Graphic Design Major. The only modern-looking building is the Brown center for graphic design and animation major. Other buildings are old buildings with old facilities. The GD professors are super intense and pushed people to the edge mentally, good for people that are hard
