Coming from a Desigb background, a fine arts school was not the place for me ultimately. Besides this fact, I found the expenses much higher than initially calculated—If you aren't rolling in money, DO NOT GO HERE.If you aren't a straight-up conceptual artist who prefers the thought behind the work more important than the actual outcome—DO NOT GO HERE.All that aside, many of the professors are incrediblyvknowledgable, though many are stuck up in their own practices, especially the alum in the CP studies who teach here.Though the school touts its resources, one doesn't get access to nearly all they proclaim, and for claiming "the best printing," the printing services are often easier to deal with off-campus.The classes are very teacher-dependent—if you get a sub-par or not fitting to you instructor you'll be miserable through that class, I can garauntee.Yes, there are scholarships, but dealing with the financial aid office is more often than not like talking to a brick wall, and depending on your academic advisor, that can be the same.If you have the money to experiment, that is the only way you'll be able to get through—this school encourages grand works, conceptually and physically.Each department is very much up in itself as far as students are concerned despite the displinary nature.Granted, this is from an undergrad point of coroes, with grads having it much better.
