Review of AMDA- College of the Performing Arts- Los Angeles Campus
from Everett, WA
Describe your college in three sentences.
If you are ready to take a huge step to get you prepared for the entertainment business, then this is the school for you. You will have a full plate but will have lots of fun. The programs are not easy but the knowledge that you receive is beneficial.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do not take on too much when you are first starting out. It may take a few semesters to get your feet on the ground. You may be the best in your hometown but be humble when you come to this school because there are a lot of talented people just like you.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This school pushes you past your limits at times. You definitely have an overstuffed Thanksgiving plate and your time management skills will definitely need to kick in right away once you get to school.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are not so great at the LA campus but most the money you are paying for are for the teachers and that's the main reason you are there. You are there to learn what they are to teach you and get you prepared for this business.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The Cafe at the campus is nice. They have a variety of foods but I would definitely not recommend eating there for every meal because you will get sick of the foods but also it will drain your accounts at the bank.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is a lot to do! Just at the school there are performances all the time. You definitely will make friends and with that will come good times. You are in the heart of Hollywood if you go to the LA Campus so depending on what kind of things you like, I'm sure Hollywood has it for you.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
At times I feel that this school is a lot of money but for only being in my first semester, I have learned so much about what it takes but also about myself. The knowledge of these teachers is phenomenal so soak as much as possible.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Driven people that love the arts.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are shows that you can audition for towards the beginning of the semesters and student projects you can join to gain some experience. So at your time at AMDA, you will have plenty of opportunities to perform.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There isn't a greek system. The school has about 650 students total so it's a very small school.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Security guards check IDs all the time to make sure only students are on campus and in campus buildings to make sure the students at AMDA are safe. You can also have an security guard escort you to your destination (AMDA building) to make sure you are safe.
