If you breath, they will basically accept you. Aside from that fact I was expecting this college to be up to some of the standards that more notable art schools require. Oh was I wrong. Foundation year was a complete joke, most professors were only a few years older than their students with little to no experience. The school was recently remodeled. though from the inside you would never know it. There are ZERO extra-curricular activities… unless you consider Anime Club extra-curricular. As far ad the studio classes go, they don't transfer to any other schools, so you need to retake all foundation courses no matter what school you transfer to. The school is not all it's cracked up to be, they basically have you inside the building from 8 am to 5 pm (one hour break at 1) doing art… which by all means is great if you absolutely love art and are 100% sure that's what you want to do all day, literally, otherwise it's tedious and unnecessary. The one positive is the student body. I've met some of the most talented, open-minded, and all around friendly people. And the school doesn't offer housing, big draw back. My suggestion… go to another school… don't waste 17,000 dollars for nothing.
