RMCAD is a positive, supportive and friendly environment for creative-types. It is a safe and healthy place to do some vital networking and get constructive criticism. This school is a great step towards a professional career in art.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be prepared to give 110%. Make sure you really love creating and be ready to take your art from a recreational level to a professional, working level.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The first semesters start out pretty light, but as you progress in your program the work load and expectations certainly grow.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
RMCAD doesn't actually have it's own dorms yet, but they're working on it! There are at least quite a few apartment options just minutes from the school.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There's an awesome cafe in the basement of the main building that serves everything from coffee to sandwiches. Also, being so close to downtown Denver there are plenty of delicious restaurants to choose from.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Being just 10-15 minutes from downtown Denver means there are lots of opportunities to catch local concerts, hit up the shopping scene, and interact and network with tons of local artists.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
RMCAD is no doubt expensive because it is a private school, but if you buckle down and take your classes seriously you will learn TONS. All the teachers work in the field, so the knowledge and advice you can receive is limitless.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The school itself used to be an old Tuberculosis hospital, so all the buildings have a little history of their own. Of course, there are also rumors that the campus is haunted, which makes for some fun halloween events!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
RMCAD is great for students who are wonderfully creative, want to take their art seriously and crave an environment where their creativity can flourish and thrive!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The student ambassadors are constantly coming up with events to take students on that allow them to explore Colorado, Denver and other students. They have events that range from hiking, to movie nights. There's tons of fun stuff to do.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We don't have any sororities or fraternities...but usually the type of kids who choose to go to art school care little for these things anyway. :)
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
We have security constantly driving around and patrolling the campus. If you have to be on campus after dark and are uncomfortable with that, you can even call them from any phone on campus and they'll come escort you.
