Good reviews

MassArt is the best school I've been to so far. There's so many activities you can join, the flyers cover every open wall. There's a place for everyone to feel comfortable, and your peers become your family.

Insanely fun, fascinating, and massively involved education
Overall 4.2
Nice place, good location (right near a T stop). You will be able to find lots of like minded people. Food is hit or miss but pasta is usually good and they just added spring rolls on Wednesdays (yess).

great environment!!
Overall 4
Great people and professors and a deep sense of community throughout. The classes are long but very informative and include diverse ways of thinking. The food and internet aren't great but there's opportunities in anything you could think of and chances to create them if there's something lacking.

Try another art school. Please take a tour before you enroll yourself here. They will take you to the library view which that is the only nicest place in this whole campus. the view of boston.

Bearable. A lot of graduate students get good jobs after graduating but if you commute be prepared to have it a bit rougher than those who dorm. The food here is honestly bad, most students and alike staff will agree- very little options that don't change AND we share a dining hall with mcphs. Not enough cons to drop out though. VERY long classes.
