I have completely enjoyed my first 2 years at CCAD. I have found the professors and staff at CCAD to be caring and strive to help me grow as an artist. Columbus College of Art and Design is the top school in the nation for arts studies...........now I know why.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1) Prepare yourself early for this college. Take classes in painting, drawing and basic color theory.
2) Get a portfolio together early. Have many look it over. Have CCAD look it over early before your put your final portfolio through. It will not only help you get accepted but may also help in the scholarship process.
3) Stay on campus your first year. Also, try to stay on campus as much as you can. You need the time to work and the lab time in the workshops.
4) Go and visit many places and then visit CCAD. You will see the difference in many schools. And then you will know CCAD is the best fit for you.
5) Columbus is AWESOME! What a great town. No, it's not just about OSU BUCKS! It's really an artistic motivated town. Can't wait to live there one day!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
You will work your tail off. You will also have to take all basic classes your first year. If you have an expertise in art, that's great. But get ready to learn more.
You may be great at computer art, but you WILL learn how to draw and paint. Count on it!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I stayed in the Design apartments my first year. It was awesome and I would highly recommend getting a room there.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food is great for about 3 months. Then it gets old. Same. But lets face it....................sometimes home cooking gets boring to. Until you leave for college and realized how good home cooking can be.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Oh wow................Gallery Hopping at North Shore. The book store in German village (and a trip to Schmidts).
Great restaurants to eat
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Gallery hopping at North Shore...............the best. $10 and you have a night of fun for cheep.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Not into clubs. The campus has alot of activities on campus to keep us busy. Pretty cool things are going on all the time.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
none..............please. Your too busy being an artist!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
