The people here are very nice and it's very LGBT+ friendly. The labs and facilities are very good and accessible. The internet went down in Sartain more than a few times. Stahl is definitely better than Sartain, due to the lack of air conditioning in Sartain. The college responded to COVID very well, and tested students regularly.

The illustration dept. is just not good. Outdated curriculum and outdated faculty. Just take a look at other local art schools. Only a couple instructors have worked in illustration professionally and they aren't teaching the appropriate courses. I'm a good student and had high hopes for Jr year. Now I am very worried about life after school.

People at Moore are miserable. Professors are kind but too scared to critique people, so no one improves. Because the school is one building, girls go stir crazy and sometimes don't even leave the building for months. They advertise their cintiq tablet labs but kick real students out of them for continuing ed courses. The food is disgusting.

Here's the only reason worth attending Moore: the illustration faculty. The food, the access to wifi, the DORMS, and the campus itself are extremely lacking. It is clear that the funds here are grossly mismanaged. Tuition continues to rise at least 2K a year with no visible improvement to many of the school's issues. Moore is a toxic cash-grab.

Would never suggest to anyone to come to school here. Not worth all the debt.
