Review of Oregon College of Art and Craft

from Thornton, CO

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The course rigor at this school is unlike any other. I was pleasantly surprised by the foundations program and concentration program. This college offers hands on learning in your craft field of choice while also allowing you to reach into other mediums to try new art forms. The interdisciplinary program offered here is reason enough to attend!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

This school is on the 20 bus line and is just minutes from Portland. I love the mix of the secluded studio spaces and the large city feel that you can receive almost instantly. I also love the small campus size because I feel like less of a number and more like a real person to the college. I know all of the staff and they know me!

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

The tuition seems very pricey but you are receiving top notch, hands on education. All of the professors here are renowned in the subject that they teach and there will be no disappointments. There are a lot of options in regards to scholarships as well. This school offers a large number of need based and merit based scholarships of varying amounts for special applicants.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

You should apply as soon as you can! If you aren't sure about the school you should call the admissions crew and they'll help you answer any question that you may have. There are also daily campus tours available that are given by current students. My advice is to apply because they will do anything they can to help you (the student) fund your education. This school is unlike any other!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for people who like to get to know everyone. You will not be able to hide at this school. This school is small, close knit community that offers hands on learning and teaching.
