Review of Otis College of Art and Design

Describe your college in three sentences.

Otis is a very challenging art institution and the students sacrifice a lot in order to achieve their goals there. In the end, all the hard work pays off, and these students turn into the artists they have always dreamed of becoming. Furthermore, they change the world one medium at a time.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you plan on attending Otis, make sure you understand what you're putting yourself through. You need the drive, the passion, in order to make it here. I have not yet started officially, but I will in a few days. From what I heard, I have the biggest challenges ahead of me, but I'm willing to jump all those hurdles in the way.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The instructors make it clear that they want to put their students working at a professional pace, even at day one.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Pricey, so if you live near it's best to just commute.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Haven't really dined near there, but I love food all the time.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

It's an art school, what DON'T you do for fun? haha. Interesting people there, so there's never a dull moment.

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

Very pricey, so make sure you have means of some financial aid. The price to pay is worth it in the end though.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

I'll get back to you on that once I find out. Well, I guess there is one thing. apparently our mascot is an Owl? That's pretty cool.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Artistic, weird (weird is good, don't worry), ambitious, passionate, can run on no sleep, adventurous, and organized.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I haven't really seen or heard of any clubs. Activities, maybe, but not clubs.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I don't think so?

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Security guards on campus all the time. Anyways, you have enough weird art tools to use one someone in case anyone jumps you. You're good.
