The teachers here are fantastic. At MIAD, they want to ready you for your future career in the best way possible, and they start doing that in your freshman year. They used to do it where you wouldn't start learning stuff you needed to for your career until your junior year, but that's changed. The faculty constantly make you better in your understanding of concept, precision, and way of thinking. But in my two years here so far, I've learned more than here I have throughout my high school and middle school career.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
It feels like home being here. If you're the kind of kid who is an organized mess, you stick out in an argument because of your view point, and your parents just don't seem to understand what the heck your thinking or doing, then this school is for you because the teachers here treat you as equals and are even crazier than you are (artistically). Mostly everyone is friendly (there are some stuck up people here, but don't let that scare you!), and are pretty easy to get along with, talk to, etc.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Even though this is a $32,000 school without room and board, most of MIAD's facilities are top notch. They are well maintained and abundant. MIAD allows you to use it's facilites almost all hours of the day. The computer labs are open until 11, the 3D lab is open until 11, and the scultpure lab is open until 9. The school itself stays open until midnight, and during finals it's open until 2. For the availability and use of all the facilities, if you use your time wisely, and apply yourself, then this school is well worth the money.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Always keep on the ball with scholarships. Don't just rely on your parents to pay off your expenses, get some work ethic and try to either get a job, or go crazy applying for schoalrships. It'll be really helpful. Keep up with your grades because you'll get more grants from the state and government. Be careful of the bad neighborhoods in Milwaukee, but don't be afraid to explore! Go out and do stuff, because there are a lot of opportunities around you, you just need to look!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
kids who: are artsy, messy but organized, opinionated, like to debate, think outside of the box
