My teachers are all incredible. They work in the industry as well as teach classes at Woodbury. They really know the material being covered and offer their own critiques and ideas to help improve your projects.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I am currently living on campus and it's very nice. The Residential Advisors put on numerous events to allow students to socialize and meet others who live on campus as well. It's also nice for design and architect majors to take a break from the strenuous studio hours.
The campus is small but very welcoming. Everyone is friendly and it feels more like a community because you get to know the familiar faces fairly quickly.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Tuition can be quite expensive, that's for sure. And as an art school, it's usually a tad more expensive than a UC. Although, I appreciate how small the classes are. Speaking as a Graphic Design major, I really enjoy my studio classes because I am learning quite a lot about my major.
I would definitely say you are getting the bang for your buck despite the cost.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Design Majors: Be prepared to devote a lot of free time to studio to work on projects. Teachers like detailed and clean work. You can't speed through the projects and call it done if you expect a good grade. Teachers look carefully at your projects, and will point out any misspellings, marks, or cuts.
If you will be living on campus, the dorm rooms are a little small so only bring what you need to bring. There are kitchens, so if you do want to bring your own cookware or plates and utensils, it might come in handy. I found myself cooking quite a bit. But do note, there are no ovens, only stove toppers, in North Hall.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
You should definitely look into this school if you have a definite idea on what you want to do. The classes are geared towards your major starting from the first semester. The classes themselves offer an in-depth focus into your major and offer a variety of projects to stretch your creative minds.
If you have a set mind on a major, and you are positive that is what you want to do, then I'd set up a tour to check out the school. The classes are small and hands-on, allowing the teachers to meet with each student individually for assignments/projects. If you are looking for a school that allows students to really get to know their teachers and have creative freedom over projects with a lot of feedback and constructive criticism, then definitely think about applying.
