The Northwest College of Art & Design

In my life thus far, attending here is still one of my biggest mistakes. I met with Craig for my entrance interview with a "Disney" quality portfolio, and yes, Disney accepted me the previous year. I was told all the great thing his school could do for me and I couldn't travel to Florida so I went for it. Student loans were run through faster than I could blink and I was in. Super f'n expensive, much isn't revealed to you until it's too late. Student store is a fucking closet, computer lab was using pirated software and the instructor was going around trying to reboot constantly to avoid freezing. Teacher turnover is insane. Parking lot is a mud pit. Much more, but the essence is where the fuck is the money going? Certainly not into the school or into your future. It (at the time) was going into Craig's fucking Jaguar, which he parked right in front of the steps. This school is total crap. BTW, none of the "credits" are transferrable - and once you're gone - trust me you're gone, they only "care" as long as the money is coming in.

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.
