Where do I begin for MIAD…

STAFF:

At MIAD you will have two different types of staff. You will either experience the really awesome teachers that actually care if you succeed or not in this place, or you will get the narcissistic ass hole that will try to change everything about you as a person, and as an artist/designer. The Narcissistic teacher will push all of his/her ideas on to you and watch you suffer and humiliate you during in class crits. Most of the Staff members fall into this category, so unless you are a good fighter and have a VERY good grasp on the concept of all your work, I do not recommend MIAD.

Students:

DO NOT come to MIAD if you are expecting

everyone will be just like me

The truth of the matter is, MIAD has a lot of clicks. But don't be afraid! There is a group for everyone! ALOT of the students at MIAD are very up tight and very into their art work, and who they want in their friend groups. By the end of my first year at MIAD I have maybe two friends out of a class 250 because of the clicks.

Campus:

Honestly… MIAD is literally an old warehouse… There are a total of 4 floors, not including the river level. The 3rd and 4th Floors have little to no heat during the winter, so DRESS WARM :)

Food:

MIAD has a two choices for food throughout the day. On the river level. there is the OM NOM Cafe- the UNION (the original UNION burnt down recently) They have okay food… Then they have the 2nd floor Mini Mart. The Mini Mart is over priced and apparently very easy to steal from (according to flyers that have been recently put up due to theft)

DORMS:

The Park at 1824…oh god where to I begin here… Well for starters it is WAAAAYYY over priced for what it is worth. The internet connection sucks, the walls and floors are thin, and it is not all college students living there. The Park is basically an Apartment building, you get a stove, fridge, microwave, garbage disposal, 45 in T.V and a few other things. If you get stuck in the double bed room… good luck. You get a very small room with a decent bathroom. and an FYI be careful if you decide to "DO IT" in any of the bedrooms because of the thin walls

My Opinion:

MIAD is more glorified then what it is worth. I found it to be a complete waste of my time and $40,000.
