Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I've never actually taken classes at MICA, so I'm going off of what I've seen. From what I've seen/heard, MICA encourages competition, but doesn't work you to the bone. It seems to get more intense the month before finals.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
MICA's dorms are some of the best I've seen. You have the option between a single or double bedroom. Each dorm has two bedrooms, totaling 3-4 people per room. The dorm includes a living area, small kitchen, and bathroom. The freshmen dorms are a bit tight, but it seems to be less small after your first year.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
For school food, it's pretty good. The food is much better on prospective student visiting days, so if there's ever a day to each there, that's it. On other days, it's still pretty good. It's better than my high school's food and it's better than MCAD's.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Baltimore harbour is pretty close to campus and there is a lot to do there. Make sure you go with a group and don't visit when it's not busy or late at night. It can be a bit dangerous. Other than that, there seems to be a lot to do on campus too. There are a large range of school clubs to join.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The buildings are unique. MICA's main building is classical style architecture, with a breathtaking interior. The upperclassmen dorms, the Meyerhoff, is from the 1800s as well. One of the buildings is a renovated factory from the industrial era. Other buildings, like Fox, are modern.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
MICA has round the clock police and you can see them fairly frequently when you're on campus. Though, there are still some shady characters.
MICA has a lot to offer.
