Review of Cornish College of the Arts

from Seattle, WA

Describe your college in three sentences.

A small school for all of the arts. Mixing art, theatre, music, dance, design and performance production together-creating a community of creative people. A fantastic learning enviroment.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Your portfolio is all the matters in getting in to this school. Focus focus focus on creating work that you're proud of and want to continue making while you're at school.

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

This school is less about learning english and science (i'm not even sure if we have a science class or math class here) but we are very rigorous and learning our specific art technical aspects and concepts behind it. You can't slack off in this school. It's very intense and the teachers are personable and they know when you're work isn't meeting your own personal standard.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life is fantastic because the dorms are literally a 3 minute walk away from the main campus. Each dorm room has their own bathroom (to share with the roommate if you have one). Wonderful free wifi. Communual kitchen and tv rooms.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The cafeteria is ok, but it's very expensive and they try to be healthy so it gets boring after a while. There is a whole foods right across the school though so you have your options.

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

There are a bunch of 19+ clubs around Seattle and tons of Student interest groups at school to be a part. As a visual art major I usually just do my art for fun with my friends. lol

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Focused, driven, and self led.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

0 greek life. We're an art school guys!

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

Very very safe! The school is open till midnight and there are security around but they're never needed.
