Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come to the campus and check it out! The school has many shows and performances year round for prospective students to see. Come with an open mind and a thirst for your art that is greater than any fear of failing.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
For each major that a student has chosen there is a high expectation in the work that they produce during their time here. The teachers expect that you love the art more than food, so to speak, and will push you to master your field.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The resident halls are refurbished hotels - meaning that every room is quite spacious and has it's own private bathroom. There are several lounges on each floor and the community spaces are clean and inviting.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The cafe is completely organic and has a fabulous chef in its kitchens. The produce is bought fresh down at the local market. There are three meals a day with a snack time in the afternoon with a great variety of meals each day.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Cornish is located in Seattle's downtown area so any entertainment is practically on your doorstep! A ten minute walk in any direction can get you to the beach, capitol hill, the heart of downtown or a bus station to take you elsewhere.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Access to any of Cornish's buildings beside the main office is by key card only. There are cameras posted at each building and I've never been to the security office without seeing a guard watching the screens. Rotational shuttles are used to transfer students to any classes on Capitol hill. On-call shuttles are also offered for students staying out late.
