Well I am a sophomore at the college. I have found the school to be quite helpful. They have gone out of there way to help me start showing and selling my art. The staff is very knowledgeable and always make time for my questions. I have even gone to school during our 3 week vacation and received critiques on art that I was working on outside of the school. The teachers are all working professionals and in my opinion are very qualified to teach. Sure there have been some bumps in the road but I feel like the school has my best interests at heart. I have read some of the comments above, and I would like to shed some light on this. The people who fail are the same people who do the absolute minimum to get by. These are the people who don't draw or practice art in their free time. The school will teach you the methods and procedures to become a great artist but if you don't contribute to that knowledge with practice, you will not be able to compete when you leave.

I did everything to attend this school. Everyone whos attended knows all the steps to be accepted, and there are quite a lot of them. I traveled 2 states over just for an interveiw, all the while thinking this was the best thing that ever happened to me. WRONG - I stopped the admittance process literally 2 weeks before school started because someone much wiser and not fooled by their well-sold lies gave me a much needed reality check. They were already screwing me and my friend out of hundreds (close to thousands) of dollers. That much money - mind you, we hadnt even started term yet!! Their degree means nothing, their corses are bogus and I have yet to see a real job come out of this place, with the graduate praising NCA. If your thinking about going here - dont. Its a lot of stress for a lot of nothing.

this school has done nothing to help me. the NCA name means nothing to employers, the NCA job placement department is a collection of craigslist posts. i definitely took from school what i could, an amount of professionalism, a working knowledge of a few irrelevant art programs, an awesomely expensive portfolio. here's an important point; the school claimed it would place you in your field. sending me internet postings is not placing me. this school does not have the connections it claims it does. this school has also obviously posted fake reviews about itself. basically, this college is a scam but it hires real teachers so it has the capacity to actually educate. some may get lucky, some may not but NCA definitely ain't got shit to do with that. i was, we all will be, better off going to the Art Institution, the school Craig always burned for being cookie-cutter.
