Review of Cleveland Institute of Art

from Meadville, PA

Describe your college in three sentences.

The campus is great and has such a close community. You feel right at home once you have been here!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be prepared to do things you would never think of doing. The professors here love to get to know you and make you put yourself out there. It is a life changing experience to attend here.

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

This school is very serious when it comes to the expected performance of their students. No fooling around at this school.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

New dorms are great! Way better than the old ones and a lot closer to the new building. Only slight problems here and there.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

You are able to have what's called Case Cash here and it allows you to get groceries and eat anywhere that takes it on Euclid.

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

There are a ton of places and things you can do. There are museums, parks, a place called the think box where you can do fun projects and the school always has open studios every week where you can go and try out the crafts electives- I highly recommend!! The school also always plans events for students to attend and they are all fun!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The Orientation leaders will do a dance at freshman orientation and man is it a hoot! They also are starting to host drag bingo every year as long as people still love it! They have a huge halloween party every year for CIA students only where you can bring a couple of guests and they will even take you on a trip to thrift stores if you don't have a costume.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for all artists. The buildings are always open so you can always have access to majority of things you need!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are so many clubs and activities it's crazy. Many great opportunities!

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

This has a very safe campus. There are blue emergency phones all around and there are constant security guards and policemen patrolling the area to ensure everyone's safety. On the other hand you still need to keep it smart and not go out alone defenseless.
