I am going into fine art and com art. I think that everything that happened good or bad happened for a reason this last year. I look back and there were times that i wish i was not there but that was only because there was so much i needed to do and so little time. Life is hard at times even in school. I know some people who hated the year and want to get out and i know others who find it a blessing. I feel that foundation year was all about seeing who can handle it.The ones that hated it obviously could nto handle it and should get out. I dont want to be around people who are constantly negitive. I mean there are classes you should not get any homework in and those are the ones you get the most! I will not lie it is a difficult school but I would rather be constantly busy and learning than in a school that constantly teaches you the basics! I started off with no friends and through out the year made some great friends with aweosme memories. If your thinking about going i would visit the campus first. Meet the teachers. Sit in a class or two and get a feel for the school. Its different than a normal college and is hard core. Otis was my last choice in schools but once I visited all the school and talked to faculty i knew OTIS is where i belong. I hope this helps you.

my first year fountation was not what i expected. i HATED IT!!lots of work, hours with no fun. i would be up for hours trying to perfect a project that i got no better then a c or b because it wasnt visually complex or those other fancy terms they use. it 7 classes that basuially become your life from the moment you start. to much pressure and shit you have to go through.
you will not be going to get the college experience if u attend otis. im going into my secound year to study com arts and hope that maby it will be better. but for the money im paying it should be otherwise i have to trnasfer. but what sucks is that non of my credits are really transferable because otis is an "art school" so basically im screwed and i kinda wana die.

Coming here was the biggest mistake I ever made!
The digital media department is the most disorganized department I have ever seen! They hire teachers the day before the class starts. Classes are added to the semester 2 weeks in, so if you want to take one of those classes you have to rearrange everything and drop all of your classes. Most of the courses do not even provide a syllubus.
Most everyone I know is unhappy here and feels like they really havent learned anything.
The teachers they have been hiring are awful! One of my teachers chews tabacco while he's teaching. So gross!
Last semester, I had a teacher that verbally abused the class. When we reported her, they blamed us and said she did nothing wrong.

This place is hell! Don't waste your money! Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:33:29 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/CA/OCOAAD_comments.html
