Socially, I didn't make any lasting friends, but I got along. As an older student, it was hard for me to befriend the regular students, most of whom were just out of high school. The student body is very friendly, we just didn't have much in common, partially because most of the student body was lacking in intellectual curiosity. Maybe I'm weird, but I get really interested in the things I am studying. I didn't meet any younger students who shared my interest. They were going to school because that's what what you're supposed to do, not because they were particularly interested in it. On the whole, Simpson was a pretty good experience. I loved my teachers, and really enjoyed my classes. The administration staff was (and still is) very helpful. For a private school it's not too expensive, and, in my own experience, well worth it. If you are enthusiastic about learning, take lots of history and English classes. If you are just going to college to get it over with, you'll probably want to avoid those classes as much as you can, because they involve a lot of work. In general, recommended.
My academic program was absolutely fantastic. I studied in education with seasoned professionals and researchers with national reputations. The graduate program has gotten stronger since I left, too. I also took classes and received training from the Program on the Analysis and Resolution of Conflict, a great resource.
Syracuse is a top tier institution, for certain, and if you're into college sports, it's definitely a great place to be. And even if not, the faculty and other grad students you will meet at Syracuse will be smart and driven. When I was graduating, I got interviews pretty much anywhere I wanted to interview and I got my first choice of jobs. I went on to get my PhD and was accepted to the top PhD programs in the nation in my area, including a top program at an Ivy League school.
The school did open my eyes to the various art related fields such as illustration,advertising,etc which is great if you haven't decided where your focus is but if you know which direction you are headed.
After 4 years there I would say:
Paier once had a good rep for technique and technical training but trys to imprint a"certain" academic style, thus repressing a students artistic "nature" or own individual style.
When I attended Paier the "god" of the school was Wyeth, and I preferred Warhol. This preference was not well recieved. I would not recommend Paier for a Fine Art career, unless you want to be stuck painting in the schools broom closet. You can do that at home and develop your own individuality which is more important in the real "ART" world if you have the focus.
I recommend looking at Lyme Art Academy if you want "classical" training in "fine"art otherwise, if you are really want to be a "serious" artist, the sheepskin is really worthless unless you prefer making money over art.
It's your choice! ...but remember,...your art lives long after you do. chose well.
I will say personally that I have found that after 30 years Paier Management has shown little growth and even less in maturity in the real world.
