Review of California College of the Arts

from New York, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

California college of the arts is a great private art school. The classes are really small and you become a tight knit community.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Time management is everything. It will really help you to master your time during first year.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

everything is one after the other. It is good to have done everything on a schedule. The instructors expect a lot from the students because of how small the classes are. There is good one on one critique time as well as class critiquing.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Very fun. You become very close with the people you live with, especially if you live in Irwin dorm. it is a community and everyone becomes a family.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

A2 cafe is our only dining but it is the best. Both the one on the San Francisco and Oakland campuses are run by the same family. They are the best and you will grow to love seeing them everyday.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Art Murmur which is every first friday is fun but most of the fun comes from going to the UC Berkeley frat parties. After 21 there are many bars to go to in downtown Oakland and free events in San Francisco. Hardly Strictly Blue Grass Festival is a big TO-DO in the fall semester.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

One architecture frat. I'm not positive as to what they do.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Public safety are your friends, especially when you are getting home at 11:00pm from a class.
