Review of AMDA- College of the Performing Arts- Los Angeles Campus
Describe your college in three sentences.
This school teaches you how the real performing arts world works and how to efficiently deal with problems you are soon to face. It will teach you time management skills and will help you learn how to wake up more than on time. It's a great experience.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you have your scholarships and financial aid in order before you start, and always check up on your loan statuses.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The performing classes will rock your world, and it's the greatest feeling ever. Academia here is wonderful as well, although sometimes the workload is daunting, especially with outside rehearsals you need for performance classes.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The people you will meet are amazing, however the dorms are sometimes a little to be desired. For freshman, it's all about the luck of the draw, but for upperclassmen it's all about getting your housing paper work in early.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food at the Cafe is great, but there isn't really a meal plan for those of us who are low on family income. However, as long as you don't eat there every day, you should be just dandy.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The studios are open for use by students, so go there rehears a bit, whatever suits you. But also, it's Hollywood! Walk the strip, see a show, go to a club! The mall gets old after a while, but as long as you're always willing to try something new, there's an adventure to be had every day.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
It's only good for people that cannot and will not do anything else with their lives but perform. If you're doing it cause you've always been pushed to, then you won't get anything out of it. Sure you'll get a great education and have amazing technique work, but without a true drive you'll never have as great of an experience as you can.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Absolutely none, and it's amazing.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Mandatory ID checks before you enter the gates or any building. It gets kind of bothersome at times, especially when running to class, but better safe than sorry.
