Review of Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The best part is you're not getting taught by TA's. You're instructors are all specialists in their subjects, so you know you're getting a great education. It's also great how much they emphasize liberal studies. I know from previously going to a 4yr public university, that Gen Eds can be a pain, but the ones offered at MIAD are all relevant to you and your studies. They work with Marquette University to make sure you're liberal studies are strong. This also makes a Minor in any subject a lot more accessible.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

It's located in the Historic Third Ward in Milwaukee. The neighbor hood is VERY cute, and offers a lot to do! Great shopping, dining, and parks!

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

The vicinity is amazing! The amount of studio space given to each student is worth it! And of course, the high quality of education you're receiving is well worth it! Over all, if you're looking for an Art school that is well rounded, offers many option within art, and is under $30,000, MIAD is PERFECT!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Check out the place before you make any decisions!! If you feel the vicinity isn't comfortable for you, or not what you were looking for, then you may want to look into other colleges. Studio space is a major thing you should be looking for. After all, you're paying money to attend this college for the next 4 or more years. Make sure you want to BE there for those years. If you're not comfortable or satisfied when you're touring the place, you probably won't be later on.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

If you want to be completely immersed in art, MIAD is a great choice! If you want a smaller, more personal school, with only 650 students, you'll get a lot of help and support when you need it. And if you want to live in a more urban area, Milwaukee is great for that too!
