I am a non-traditional student and I found most of the other students to be very involved with their little cliques; but I didn't go there because I could make new friends.

I was in Digital Media, and I found the faculty to be very helpful and concerned that I actually will succeed. I think the faculty really know their stuff, and considering how many software programs they teach, there is a LOT to know about them. Overall I was very impressed with the faculty and their knowledge and willingness to meet over lunch to discuss my projects.Overall I think KCAD is a really good school, and I would recommend it. I have been to 3 other schools and Kendall was the best.

Warning: KCAD is an overpriced art school with little name recognition outside of Grand Rapids. The people are nice and Grand Rapids is a pleasant town, but there is no reason to spend $20k a year to attend this school when for $30k a year you could attend a world-class art school like the Cranbrook Academy of Art, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Rhode Island School of Design, Yale School of Art, etc., etc. Don't be afraid to leave Michigan.

Not so bright
I have been going to Kendall for about 3 years. I liked the facilities and the campus is very down to earth. As time passed I learned that the good teachers are few and far between. I often had the misfortune of snooty or ill-suited teachers. Don't get me wrong there are a few truly outstanding teachers but most of them are noobs that don't know what they are doing. You are pretty much on your own here, there isn't much one on one teaching, at least not that I have experienced. It's more teach the group and if you get it good and if you don't oh well.
