An affordable school doesn't automatically mean a good school. I would highly recumbent looking for another art school to choose before getting stuck in this one. My time here really sucked and more times than one I've been wanting to drop out. Not a school many kids plan on being in all four years.

There are different departments which are all really different. This school is part of Miami Dade for the first 2 years of degree and the last 2 years it is part UF. I went for art and feel that the over all quality of the teachers are terrible. There are a few that are good, maybe like 3 teachers tops. If you want to go to art school go elsewhere.

Not the best graphic design college to go to.
Safety is questionable. You share a building with high schoolers…
Art department needs some serious updating. Curriculum is outdated with a fine arts focus. This is perfect for Miami but not necessarily any other art circle. For jobs? Nah. Your colleagues know the programs better than you.

The theatre department is one of the most toxic environments I have ever survived. Their music, dance and art departments are top notch. The Dean of Theatre thinks takes shallow approach to all things theatrical, and is mean as a snake.
