I was told a month before school that I would have to find my own apartment in the surrounding area, and Baltimore is sketchy to say the least. Students form cliques very quickly, and the amount of drama was astounding. Although MICA has a reputation for great artists I found that many of the students were simply not very good, but they were extremely pretentious. Competition amoung students is fierce; in my second week there people were already talking about who may get a Fulbright grant.Overall, not the creative, open, and challenging atmosphere I hoped MICA to be.

Even if you're outgoing. MICA students bond really fast and create a very insular community amongst themselves, which the school encourages, that if you aren't in on in the beginning, is very hard to get in on later. There also are very few resources for commuting students, all of campus life, classes and any other types of scheduling (snow days, etc) are planned based on people living within walking distance of the school. It's a good school, just not really a fun school. Which I know well since I went a couple other places before going there. Surrounding City: A+, Social Life: F Have a Question?

You are surrounded by very intelligent friendly peers whose talents influence you. The food, dorms/ social life, and curriculum is awesome. Baltimore is a good sized city too.
