The Hussian School of Art

They will except anyone, ANYONE who walks in the door for a critique of their portfolio. Also Ronald dove fell asleep during my interview. The hussian students are easily tricked into feeling like they never left high school . The tacky McDonald's toys on the wall should easily show you how serious they take their school ( shouldnt it be artwork not happy meal toys).

The degree is absolutely worthless in the real world, no one will hire you with a associates degree in "specialized technology", what does that even mean? Stay away from this trap school. They'll take your money and leave you jobless, they say that the school has a 90%. Job placement.... Absolute bull shit. It should be 90% don't find jobs. Most of the teachers are graduates that won't speak the truth about the real world jobs because why... They haven't had any and they were forced to teach to find any steady job. I bet abunch of you disillusioned current students will disagree with me, because they don't know what its like in the real world. I compare hussian to a high school tech school. It's so easy to love hussian as I did as a student there , it has a tight knit high school feel that is comforting, but does not relate to the real world at all! I think the government should permanently ban for profit schools like these, it's a scam. Do your research on for profit schools.

Those were my thoughts.
Here are the facts:

1. Hussian is a FOR PROFIT school. They approve EVERY PERSON, regardless of their artistic talent. This is no secret. Plus, they only actually accept a handful (25-35) of freshmen students every year, so you have to let them know ASAP if you're going to start in the fall. It's basically first come, first served.

2. You can only earn an ASSOCIATES degree or a certification upon graduating. When I was a senior at Hussian, there were people in my class who thought they would be getting a Bachelors degree soon. When I told them they were incorrect, they became confused and upset. Hussian DOES NOT make it clear that they only give out Associates degrees. It takes FOUR YEARS to earn this degree at Hussian.

3. Classes at Hussian are five days a week, six hours a day (9am-3pm). Yes, similar to having a full time job where you don't get paid. Also, you must be out of the building by around 5pm every day when they lock up, which means if you need to use a computer or a studio room to finish your work, you'd better finish it quick!

4. Most teachers are graduates of Hussian. This means they do not actually have a degree to teach (you need a Bachelors degree and state certification to be a teacher). It does mean that, after graduating, they couldn't get a professional job and instead came back to teach Hussian students how to color inside the lines.

5. There are no academic classes. This is a selling point for students who didn't do well in math, science, and/or english classes in high school, or who don't have a very high SAT score. There are also NO extracurricular activities such as clubs nor are there dorms/student housing.

6. Hussian threatened and sued a student (who had dropped out) simply because he made a negative review about the school on his PERSONAL website. Hussian is clearly not a fan of the First Amendment (freedom of speech).

And here are my personal opinions:

1. They don't care about students, they only care that they get paid.
2. Hussian DOES NOT help alumni/students get jobs. It has nothing to do with talent. I can't emphasize this enough. It's all about the degree of ass kissing you provide. Do it enough and they will comply, especially if it benefits them (ie get an internship with a teacher - they benefit because they end up having to do less work and they don't have to pay you).3. Hussian is more like a cult than a school. People become either blindly and completely dedicated, often to an astonishing degree, or they will begin to loathe the school and try to forget that that part of their life ever happened.
