Review of Ringling College of Art and Design

from Puerto Rico

Describe your college in three sentences.

Ringling is an amazing experience. You will watch your skills as an artist and scholar grow immensely over even the first semester. You will create lasting connections and find your ideal career.

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

You won't need to do that much studying per se, but you will have to put in a LOT of work. Every subject has at least 8 big projects, and you'll basically hit the ground running, not stopping until the final day.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The facilities are excellent, very comfortable and very pretty. There aren't that many school-run activities but the students like to keep busy and your RA's are always open to suggestions. There's almost always something to do.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are two main dining places on campus: a buffet-style cafeteria called the Hammond Commons, and a café style place called Brickman Café. The options and variety are great at Hammond, but the quality can go up and down from week to week, especially during finals. Brickman is consistently great, but there's less variety: there's basically 15 different sandwiches on rotation, 4 soups, and other options will come up every so often.
