The quality of education here really depends on what kind of classes you want to take. I took two art classes and an English class. From what I heard before coming to this school is that the school's Design department is excellent, everything else is below average at best. Well, here I am attending the school and I agree.
The Art Department is truly phenomenal, I'd say it must rival any other good art school. The teachers are top notch and really know what they are doing. They are very friendly and are easy to reach. The quality of art produced here is top notch at least in the classes I've taken. Be prepared to work very hard in each of the art classes, they require a lot of effort and time, but in the end I learned a lot.
Now anything outside of art is a whole different story in my opinion. I took an English class and I can say that I learned almost nothing. Everything taught in the class I learned in High school. I did none of the work except for the Essays and I still got a high B in the class. It was a complete waste of time.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I enjoy talking to the teachers, participating in class, and engaging in art critiques. Past that it is not a very enjoyable experience. Do not come here expecting to make many friends. Thankfully there were some highschool friends I could hang out with. However, if you don't have any friends you already know who go to the school expect to feel lonely. It felt as though the friendships were already made and everyone only cared about getting their schoolwork done, not making new connections.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The school is incredibly cheap, what more can I say? $1,500 per semester for 12 credits, without any financial aid. Add financial aid and you have borderline free education.
As for the bang for buck ration I'd say you will get your money's worth if you take art classes here. Also, I must note that you will spend over $400 solely in materials for art classes.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't take Community College for granted, it's a great school if you are looking at its art major. Be prepared to work hard, you will have to put more effort and time into your classes than in Highschool.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
- Students who want transfer to another college in one or two years.
- Students who didn't do so well in High school and want to get their grades up.
- Students looking for transfer credit.
- Students who are unsure of their future.
- Students who want a low-cost education.
- Students who want a flexible schedule (in case you work, have a family, etc.)
