Super Brilliant
Moore is the right school for a very distinct group. If you are not part of that demographic you will have a hard time making friends and staying positive. A VERY large percent of the freshmen drop out after the first year. At first, I took this as a sign that the school was difficult and many people would not be willing to work hard, however I discovered in the first semester exactly why this happens. Yes some students simply are not cut out for the work, but more importantly it is because the first year "foundation" program is very broad and somewhat discouraging. If you are a photographer you will not touch a camera until your 2nd year, and I hope you can draw because you will be taking life drawing and foundation drawing - although many argue that these classes do not apply to all the majors. If you are a fine arts student you may well enjoy foundation year! But besides these two reasons, the students here possess a certain "air" that may well set them apart in the business world, but don't expect to be able to talk to ANYONE for more than the first semester because almost everyone will drive you up the wall. Let's just say Moore is a school full of strong personalities and strong work. You know yourself best, don't just go to this college for the education, go to it if you have superior patience and tolerance. Oh and piss on Mike Geno he's an asshole to everyone its not personal.

Quite Bright
I thought Moore would be worth the tuition money. I was told there would be many ways I could cover this tuition. The financial aid offered no suggestions other than personal loans (for which I needed a cosigner) and the typical FAFSA. The only outside source scholarships they offered were for highschool seniors. The financial aid office also has a poor attitude towards students. (I'm an older, non-traditional returning student.) My problem is mostly with the faculty of this school. Their attitudes toward the students are mean spirited and close minded. When you ask for help from a teacher, they "don't know how" (that is a quote from a liberal arts teacher). The faculty, rather than help you, point you to the next person who points you to another person. None of whom are capable of making a decision or giving you an answer concerning a multitude of things- teachers, grades, schedule, financial aid. Anything. This is my problem with this school. Also- the english classes are a joke. The reading list for freshman english is Romeo and Juliet, Dorian Gray, and Petrarch. I read those in high school! And they are all male writers we read, male painters we are taught about, and male teachers in the school. For an all female school.

This school is a place where get out what you put in. The faculty are not going to hold your hand and spell everything out for you but if you ask for support, they are right by your side. It's not somewhere you can just bum around, its hard work but so rewarding. Personally, I put my all into what I do, if you don't how can you expect to get anywhere as an artist. Moore is a very personalised space, where you can grow into a strong, fulfilled artist, if you want to be.

Average
I should have gone to a state college-cheaper, same education, perhaps better.

i should have chosen a different art major. ihad no advisors at moore.

make sure you know what you wish to study. explore it before going to college to study it. don't be afraid to change your mind midstream if you are not inyo your current major-just remember the cost. be sure of your abilities. don't let anyone undermine you or your abilities.
