I'm currently in my second year commuting to Uarts as a Fine Arts major, and I am satisfied with the programs. Most of my teachers are fine and helpful, and the faculty seems kind and willing to help for the most part. I can't give any positive feedback for the social life or students of the campus however. Most of the students seem isolated, indifferent and unmotivated. No one seems really interested in making friends either, and I've hardly made any. Seriously, unless you dress like a Punk/Goth wannabe, don't shave and don't bathe regularly, you won't fit in. The students are apparently infamous for drug use and parties, but I've never experienced it. The school itself is not very clean or inspiring to look at. The elevators are constantly breaking, and bathrooms are, for the most part, gross and covered in graffiti. However, the education is decent, even though i wouldn't mind actually having a social life too..

I am absolutely in love with UArts. I'm a musical theatre major, and after auditioning for a lot of programs I have definitely seen what else is out there. I feel extremely welcome here. All of the people I have met are friendly, intelligent, and THRILLED to be here for what they love. The faculty that I have encountered are all extremely helpful and open to suggestions and feedback. I feel safe to be creative and work here because all of the students/faculty create a supportive environment. The only complaint I have is the fact that my window smashed in my dorm about 3 weeks ago and Maintenance has yet to replace the wooden board that is now there. But really with all of the good things that have come with my UArts experience, I'll take the wooden board any day.

Not the greatest art school in the world. The film program is really bad. I transferred out into writing for film and television. The writing program is waaaay more challenging, thoughtful, and helpful not to mention that you still take plenty of film classes, obviously.Also, I say this school's students are close minded. They are open to any race, sexual preference, ect ect, but most students are closed minded to music, art, film, politics. They only like what is deemed "art" or "liberal", and offer no valid critiques of the system or their own values. It's very cliq-y
