Wasted four years at this run down place, and I can not wait to graduate so I can get out of this hell hole and go to a real college. The school will not pay to have the place properly heated in the Winter. Many of the teacher are reallly just baby sitters. Stay away from this school at all costs. Major student drug probelms and at the school.

I really wish I Had not gone to this place. The education is weak. They basically expect you to teach yourself then they tell you how they think you did. You can do that at home without paying this overpriced school. Some of the teachers are cool and foster creativity. Some of them are arrogant, rude and conceited.
Overall 1.6
The staff are unprepared to teach for current times. They are still so stuck in what may have worked 30 years ago and no longer applies today.
Overall 1.7
There are some good professors, but a lot of the students are just attention-seekers who aren't very good at art. There is some real talent here, but you have to sort through a lot of crap.

If you can't fend for yourself in the world don't come here. You're on your own and the school does not care.
