The school seems a lot more interesting and exciting initially, but eventually ceases to charm you. it is true that nearly all faculty and even janitors and cooks are washed up failures out of the school. this is very disgruntling when realized!

I feel that while I did learn new skills and techniques i probably would have grown whether or not I was at this university of working and reading elsewhere. The liberal arts department is really great though. They tend to slack because most students are uninterested in anything outside of their major, if that, though.

The students tend to form groups and cliques during their freshmen year and stay true to them throughout the duration of their four years. I did not get a good sense of community until I was a senior and people finally gave up their arrogant covers they used to displace their insecure personalities. In class, a lot of students are so disinterested it is hard to be excited about your work. Being art, some professors even have difficulty seeing ideas and theories outside of their own.

The school is a great experience if you want to blow A LOT of money and 4 years+ of your life. p.s. the schools in major debt so tuition is likely to go up several thousand each year(increased more than 6,000 since I enrolled!!!).
