Review of Rhode Island School of Design

from Horsham, PA

Describe your college in three sentences.

An amazing school with a good perspective on the importance of knowledge of art and design in the world, which they show through interwoven disciplines. This school gives you a great foundation to go off and be successful in whatever you want, if you work hard to get there. I love RISD and although the price is steep, I believe its worth it.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get your work done. If you let things pile up, you will drown under all of the work. Also, stay organized. Life will be a lot easier for you if you do

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

RISD is extremely hard, but time management helps keep stress levels down

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Theyre not anything special, especially for first year students, but to me its not as important as the education

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is ok, but compared to Brown University, the food is pretty good and a lot of the chefs are either current students or graduates from Johnson and Wales Culinary School

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

Your artwork

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

Again, I know its steep. But its worth it when you are offered more internships and high paying jobs in the end

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Our mascot and sports team..

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Hardworking! Determined!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are a ton of clubs to participate in, such as the adventure club, the knitting club, even the Pigeon club. Plus, you are free to come up with your own clubs as well

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

Its a city, but I always feel safe and Public Safety really cares about the safety of all students.
