Review of Massachusetts College of Art and Design

from Mass.

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Yes, and No. The teachers present you great material. But! it is up to you to take it to the maximum and to have fun. Also there is such a thing as a threshold for learning, whatever you do... balance school, life, work, family and friend time. You don't want to burn out. That means no nonstop marathons, over nighters, and sleep deprivation. Also accept the fact that you can't plan everything, life is bound to have surprises... Good and Bad. So it is definitely worth it to be around different types of artists.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Yes and No. make sure you got: LIFE, FAMILY, FINANCE, ART, FRIENDS, WORK in check and even the extra stuff. Remember the simple things in life.

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

Yeah it is definitely worth a bang for the buck. But if you can overlook slightly dirty buildings and interesting bathrooms. You will find that it is all about what is on the inside, but not the outside that matters. [EAT AT SIMMONS or EMMANUEL's cafeteria.... better and healthier food] Chartwells needs an upgrade.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be happy with what you got. You are young, don't try to grow up too fast. Enjoy your time, and keep things at a steady pace. Smooth and easy, simple and good.- REMEMBER THAT Don't make friends for the sake of having friends. You will eventually attract people with likes and interests and things will grow from there. You will also meet people whom you will naturally repel, no sweat, just treat them the same way you want to be treated( with love) ; and success is the best revenge. Be true to yourself and your beliefs. you are, what you believe in... Ahem! And eat. And think. And those who you keep company with. (take advantage of Cross Registration [ sophmore and up]) (take advantage of classes out of your major [for fun]) (have a clear state of mind) (STAY FOCUSED! there is no such thing as EQUAL multitasking; do one task at a time and do it good!) (be the best that you can be without self compromise and a deprived life; you only live once)

Which types of students will excel at your college?

-Students who have a desire to learn, grow, and creatively develop. -hardworkers -students with dreams students who believe in a better tomorrow
