Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Art & Design Department  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright The SAIC was able to nourish my ability to think critically and creatively. It also helped develop organizational skills, discipline, and to continue to grow my artistic skills even now 13 years after I graduated. You get out of school what you put into it.

My undergraduate years were a necessary continuation of my undergrad study, both personally and professionally. I was given room to explore issues of community service and education, all of which helped me create a path for myself beyond grad school. I think SAIC is more suited for graduate level study because of the level of motivation needed and focus. I was able to select advisors from a various of fields, some directly related to my study, some not, but all helpful. My advisors were very supporter and some of the electives I took were wonderfully engaging, especially in art history and criticism. I was given permission from the various departments to leave SAIC and Chicago after only one year of study. I completed my independent study in New York and returned for my thesis show which could have been stronger had I stayed but because I had a job I was able to make the transition to a career more easily than my peers. Not having access to a traditional campus was problematic for me but I was able to find a community on the southside that fit my lifestyle and enabled me to connect to urban youth which is still a part of my work today.

For what the school lacks (lots of social groups/clubs, a large campus) the excellent city of Chicago makes up for. I attended the design program and met many brilliant designers in both students and faculty. SAIC truly shaped who I am as a designer and artist. Even the deans were like friends to the students.

The teachers know their fields and the museum gives you a tremendous access to work that has been done before you. However, you must push yourself at SAIC because no one is going to do it for you. If you desire structure or are not sure that art school is for you then SAIC is not the place. On a personal level I have enjoyed it quite a bit.
