Cornish is an inspiring place. Every department is overflowing with passion and innovative ideas. I love how the visual and performing arts are together in one school.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Look at all the departments before deciding which one to apply to. I started in the performance production department but learned that the design department was a better fit for me.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
You cannot rush the design process. The only way I found to do well in my classes was to give every thing I had to it. The work load is a lot but it can be done.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are old motels that the school bought. Plus side, you have 1 roommate and you two get your own bathroom and the downside is you live in an old motel. The dorms have laundry, kitchen, rec room and practice spaces for musicians.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
All organic and local, really amazing actually. They try to over fancy some simple dishes that get lost but the pizza bar will never do you wrong.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Open mic nights and performances of all departments year round. There is always something happening.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I love my school but it is expensive. You have to work to get scholarships and grants to keep loans down but the financial aid department is very helpful.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Sudden performances held in the cafe! Yearly drag show is always amazing.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Artistic and open minded students.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Everything you could imagine. Every department has clubs focused on that discipline and then we have things like a Quidditch team and wine and cheese club.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
No Greek life. No football teams. No cheerleaders. Its rather heavenly.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Very safe. Campus security is always around and you get get a ride or walk from a security member at night if you give them a call. There is also a van that can give you a ride if it is late at night.
