Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) is on a beautiful campus. Their facilities are endless, and the professors are very accomplished. It's definitely a place I can see myself spending four years in.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I'm a prospective student, and tips I've gotten are bring LOTS of charcoal, be prepared to work harder than you ever have, but try to have fun.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I've heard from many students the courses are challenging, and the professors are demanding. But that's what makes a good artist.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are small at best and are completely stark white. There's not much room to do anything in your room at all.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is amazing. On a campus visit they gave us meal tickets. Everything is organic, freshly grown, and delicious. There are options for vegans, vegetarians, and the chef accommodates all food allergies.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are numerous things to do for fun. There is the artist's ball in the fall (costume party/dance) as well as hundreds of clubs. Around Providence there are many restaurants, shops, and places to hang out.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Like any art school, RISD is on the upper scale cost wise. I feel the education they will give me will be well worth it though.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Our mascot is very unusual to say the least. Also there's The Beach: it's a grassy hill located in the front of the main building. A few years ago students filled it with sand, hence the name, but it all got washed out by the rain.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Hardworking, creative, focused, and self motivated.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There's everything from the anime club to the RISD yogis. Whatever your interest is, you can be sure someone else here will share it.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
It's a college town so everyone on campus is either a teacher, student, or parent. It's nice and safe.
