It's a great school, I'm glad I came because of the great students and faculty that I've met. In that sense, the experience has been priceless. If I could go back in time, though, I would not have spent this much on an art education. I would've gone somewhere like University of Georgia, U of Iowa, or U of Madison (all good schools for printmaking, my major) spent 12 months in the state and gotten in-state tuition. But at the time, I didn't know about printmaking or those schools at all. I will be $30,000 in debt when I graduate. That's just too much money for an art degree. But it's been a great experience. My only bone to pick, and I know others at my school agree on this, is that the Liberal Arts courses are so easy they're condescending. Some people may come to art school because they aren't good at academics, but I think the school needs to have higher standards.
