Harrington College of Design is my home away from home. It has and continues to teach me the fundamental techniques to live up to my full potential. Thanks to Harrington, I am becoming a professional digital photographer.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be friendly and open to the teachers, faculty and other students. Network yourself and try your best. The environment is comfortable and you will feel at home.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Most teachers have a stern but fair way of teaching and grading. The no late work policy makes sure students are staying on task. Group critique lets students receive opinions and comments of their work in order to continue or improve how they are doing.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Personally I do not use the on campus housing available, but have seen fellow classmates use it, and have not seen much dissatisfaction.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Being located downtown, there are many restaurants available within close distance. Also, the school cafeteria has vending machines with food, drinks, and snacks available. Besides all this, the Student Government and other clubs have days where they bring in free food, such as pizza, ice cream, hot cocoa, etc.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Personally, when I am not working on assignments for class, I like to utilize the school's studio and print farm. In studio, I open myself up to equipment I may be using in the future, practicing my techniques. The print farm allows me to print my finalized work to share with others.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Though an expensive school, the cost is definitely worth every penny. Students are allowed to many opportunities, advantages, and equipment that normally costs a fortune on its own.
