Review of Cornish College of the Arts

from Edmonds, WA

Describe your college in three sentences.

i love how all the instructors at cornish are all here to get to know you on a personal level. they are passionate about your progress, and improvement in your talents.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

show up to class, i know it's redundant but it is so crucial, i'm in the design department and half of my grade is being in class. in class is where all the important things happen- critiques of your art work, one on one instruction with the professor, learning the material, and working on projects.

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

i love my classes, they all have something different to teach you. don't be afraid to ask instructors specifically on things you are interested in as well. there is structure, but surprisingly, the structure is helpful for you to unleash your creative potential.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

i comute, and never lived at the dorms, but from my friends, i hear it's a great way to introduce yourself to seattle if you haven't been living here before.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

the food is amazing, and you never get bored from weekly specials to everyday cooking of pizzas, hamburgers, salads, soups, and there are vegetarian and vegan options to choose from as well.

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

well isn't your art form fun? i mean that's why you're here right? cornish is located right in seattle, and there are many places you can go to hang out, watch movies, shop, and explore.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

cornish is worth every penny. the classes are small, my department head knows me by name. teachers know you and care about you. you literally get a one on one interaction with amazing instructors, artists, professionals in your chosen field. your networking will increase greatly and that is all worth it when you are serious about your art.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

be prepared to see people with so many diverse personalities, fashions, and self expression.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

serious student who are passionate about their art. who breathe, live and can't get enough of doing what they love. for people like me, who know they can't do anything else but draw.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

there are many clubs/student interest groups to choose from and student leadership opportunities. i hear there's a quidditch, knitting, cheese tasting, movie watching, and many more student interest groups this year. i've been having my share of the fun in leadership.

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

security and campus safety gives me a peace of mind. all big cities have their chances of lack of safety to college students, luckily the security at cornish is active 24/7 and is there for us. i have them on speed dial on my phone, just in case something happens.
