Though this school is in the middle of Detroit, it is well secured using I.D. cards for almost everything, including the elevators. The schoolwork and competitiveness is intense and if you're not serious here, you might fall behind. Many sleepless night will be had but this school will prepare you and make you the best you can be.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't play around and have great time-management. This school will make you or break you. If you fall behind it is extremely hard to catch up and all-night projects are common here.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The workload is massive, leaving you with little time for side activities during the weekdays. Manage your time carefully and this won't be a problem. Weekends can be used to catch up, stay on top of your game, or do whatever makes you happy or inspire you.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Great dorms with great security. The wifi is great and there is a sufficient amount of space for you and your roommates. Only the ACB has the kitchen and apartment-style design.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Although the Taubman Center campus requires dining dollars, it is optional at the ACB. The food is pretty good and you can easily get full. Though the prices may be on the more expensive side, it's definitely a life-saver if you don't know how to cook.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are some side activities and groups like the soccer team, flag-football, paintball, and many other small groups. You can even make your own group with the school board's permission. There is plenty to do in downtown Detroit, but please be careful.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This is the Harvard of art schools. Yes, the price may be on the expensive side but it's definitely worth it in the end. Find as many scholarships as possible , some grants, and some loans and you'll be fine. Don't stop freshman year, keep pushing for scholarships throughout your college career.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
You will find the largest gathering of hipsters here. Not that it's a bad thing. If you throw hundreds of creative minds in one place, you're going to get hundreds of creative fashion styles.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who focus on their work and like to work in the digital field of art will love it here. There is also a Fine Arts major and from what I have heard it is quite intense as well.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is plenty to do here and most people are friendly. You may not find the time to do everything however, as the workload is phenomenal. Time-management is key here...
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There isn't a Greek Life, though your classmates in your major will seem like your sorority/fraternity since they tend to stay in their own little groups.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Excellent. I couldn't ask for anything better. You have to sign guest in, show you I.D.'s when you walk through the door, and most doors are I.D. sensors. You can't use the elevator unless you have one and commuters can't access the dorm area without the on-campus I.D.'s (although that may be a nuisance if you're trying to see your friends). Security is always around day and night. The cameras are pretty impressive on the display screen as well.
