Review of Cleveland Institute of Art

from Pahoa, HI

Describe your college in three sentences.

Personal, new dorms, and everything is in one building (no trudging across snowy campuses!). I received well over half of my tuition and fees in financial aid and scholarships. I'm so excited to matriculate in the fall!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Work hard on your portfolio, but don't worry too much about getting in. I'd only been drawing for four months when I applied, and I got $19,000 in scholarships.

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

From what I hear, it's definitely rigorous, but that's what I'm looking for.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

NEW DORMS! Brand new dorms for the 2014 Foundation class, and every room has a bathroom en suite. Can't ask for more than that!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

For the first year, they make you live on campus and get a meal plan with Case. There's not many vegan options at all (which is bad for me) but I'll work it out.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students who are super enthusiastic about art and all that goes with it, and who want a more personalized experience. When I went to visit the campus, the head of the glass department spent almost an hour telling me tips for getting in and information about the glass major.
