This
school is a joke. The education is medicore at best.
there's no freedom in your classes as the profs force
on you this NEED for “conceptual” art. Everything else is
looked upon as trash. Funny, for a school where the
majority of its successful alumni all make their fortunes in
commercial art. Honestly, I swear to you the students at
this school are the worst people you will ever meet
at this school. I read these comments before coming to
this school about happy, sociable people not fitting in, ignored
it, and now i find out that they are completely
right. I've always been the one to be eager to
make friends, and I'm naturally just a very happy, friendly
and outgoing person. Students here dress like trash and will
treat you like trash if you don't fit in with
their love of torn clothing and thick non-prescription eyeglasses.
I transferred here from a large university with a fine
art faculty and decided that i wanted to focus on
my art. HUGE mistake. After a fun year of learning,
parties and making great lifelong friends, i come to SAIC
only to find the people non-talkative, very awkward and sometimes
even hostile. I've made about 3 friends in the course
of 2 semesters, each one telling me that they're so
happy to have met me because the other students are
not friendly at all. I feel depressed being here, and
i've always been a happy person. if you live in
the dorms expecting to make friends, don't set your sights
too high - most people dont leave their rooms. i've
never seen a college dorm so lifeless and boring.
I
plan on transferring out after this year. The school stripped
me of any love I had for art, and i'm
excited to leave for home in a week and completely
change my major. Maybe one in business studies.
