I'm going to be a sophomore at MICA this Fall. So far, so great! There are so many things I love about MICA: the variety of classes, the student work, the location near the cities biggest attractions and in the heart of the arts district, the architecture and history of the school buildings and neighborhood, and the facilities. The neighborhood can be a little iffy at night but it isn't really bad. Don't let people here scare you! You just have to be careful and aware of your surroundings, like in any city. The only downside at MICA is that I don't have as many friends or as rich of a social life as I'd like. I have a pretty solid group of people I hang out with but I only have one friend who I really connect with, so far, and she drives me crazy half the time. There's lots of events and things to do at school and in the area but I'm so busy with my schoolwork that I don't get to take advantage of them as much as I'd like. Like I said, though, I'm only a sophomore, so I'm thinking these things will get better as time goes on. Other than that I LOVE MICA and hope you will, too!

I attended this school back in 1994. It wasn't difficult to get admitted, and I had high hopes of learning a lot of technical skills from the faculty. However, the faculty did very little as far as technical training, and the general education classes are of the "grade" yourself variety. Most classes seemed to focus on content rather than technique. I will say that this is a good school if you are extremely talented, need little guidance, and if you already know what you want to do as an artist. I knew people who smoked pot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and then I knew those who were very dedicated and focused on their work, so there was a wide range of students as with any school. Maybe I was took young when I went here, seeing as the school is in an urban, yet isolated environment. If you don't have a car, forget about it. Only the strong survive, I suppose. I would consider taking continuing education classes here, now that I have a college degree in a totally different subject area. One more thing is that some of the students are really competitive and will hog the studios, so you have to figure out how to get adequate space and time for your projects.
