Moore has been a really good experience since first year. Quite honestly out of my first year suite I am the only person who has stuck through the whole program. One of them transferred and the two others dropped out of college all together (and never entered another one). I think that speaks to the quality of our education. It is challenging depending on who you are. For me first year was by far the most difficult because as a design major I was more inclined (and more successful) at design rather than drawing. For me a whole year of drawing was hard but the reminder that once I got through this I would be designing all the time helped me. I hope it helps you too.

Like any school there are girls that you're going to like and those that you are going to hate. But the ones that you keep all four years are people you'll never want to let go of. They're remarkably talented and loyal.As for a "social life", that is complicated. If you want a party school this is quite honestly the last place you will want to come to. Everyone here is pretty low key. People do have fun - they just don't blast the song shots every thursday to pre-game for the weekend. The underlying reason (in my opinion) for Moore not being a party school is that the people who belong at Moore and enjoy the school are the type of people who are passionate about their work. If you love what you're studying than you will be more than happy here, even with the lack of a party life.

I am going to be completely blunt. If you are looking for a real college experience academically and SOCIALLY, then do not come to this college. It is not worth the time or money. I honestly have no idea why this college is so expensive, I don't think it was very hard to get into. The only reason I chose this school was because my parents heard how "prestigious" and "challenging" it is, so I was pressured to go here. Yeah, I got a scholarship. I do think my portfolio was pretty good, but I had a 2.6 in high school, and a 1800 on my SATs. I handed my application in a week before the deadline. I think this shows how easy it is to get in / get a scholarship. This school is more like an institute. I'm transferring next year. I'm getting all A's and B's in my classes, it is not challenging. The only positive thing about this school is Pia Deinhardt, she's an amazing teacher. The food here sucks. It tastes good, but ever since I started eating it I've been having major stomach problems and I'm breaking out like crazy. I've been pooping five times a day or more... It's more like having diarrhea than pooping. I've had to miss classes because I couldn't leave the bathroom. I go home on the weekends because I hate it here so much, and when I eat the food from home my stomach feels so much better. The only reason I haven't killed myself yet, is because I've made a couple good friends, and I have the hope of transferring to a better school. There are too many girls here. I didn't think that would be a problem before I came here, but it has become one.... too much estrogen. I would have rather stayed home for a year and gone to community college because now I'm going to transfer and my parents are out over 30,000 dollars. This school is a hell hole and a rip off. I no longer have a social life.

I've had a really excellent time at Moore. Like every school there were some things in place that I didn't agree with or had some problems with. But with the small size of the school is was very easy to make my voice heard and I always received a response to my concern from administration and faculty.
