What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
If I had it to do over again, I would have gotten better grades in high school. I would have taken more art classes other than Ceramics like drawing and painting so that I would have been better during my foundation year at the NHIA. I didn't think I would go to college after high school until my Art teacher inspired me to continue my education. She felt that I had a gift in Ceramics and she continued to push me to be more creative. I am really grateful to her but I wish that I had realized it sooner, that getting good grades and having a better GPA would help me to get more financial aide and more scholarship money.

What kind of person should not attend this school?
Of course, for obvious reasons, only those who are passionate about the arts should be attending this school. With a mainly fine arts based curriculum, I would imagine it to be difficult to succeed if creativity isn’t your strength. If you dreaded art class in high school, this is probably not the school for you. This also isn’t a school for anyone who isn’t about the city life. Being located in downtown Manchester really gives you the exposure to living in a small city.

Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
NHIA is continuously growing and seeking ways to be a better college, while having every best interest in mind for faculty, staff, and student. It is close to home and conveniently near many stores and places to eat. The instructors all love what they do, and really care for every student, creating work environments that give each individual attention and creative feedback to make us better. We have state-of-the-art equipment and a cafe eager to provide affordable nutrition to its "starving artists." NHIA also just built a brand new dorm, " the first entirely "green" building in NH!

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I came to this school blindly, you could say. I had never visited, only looked online at the surroundings and the school. Sure, it's a hard transition from my home state of Texas, but I love it here.

What are the academics like at your school?
WORST REGISTRATION PROCESS IVE EVER BEEN THROUGH!
i've been wait listed on classes for 3 semesters in a row. And each time they sit on the wait list until its too late for you to add a different class. I'm a junior and they've basically screwed me over into milking money out of me for an extra semester. I've never heard so many "heads" of departments tell me "There's nothing i can do." about helping fix a schedule to graduate on time.

What's unique about your campus?
The best thing about my school is that the students that go here are in love with art. They are not just going becuase they believe that art is super fun and they just want to hang out; they are here to learn , along with haveing fun. But the students here are serious. Art is not just a career it is a life, and the students that choose to go here choose to live that life of art. That is the best thing about this school, that it is dedicated to art and the people that come here love art.

What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
The major stereotype of kids at my school is stoners. I would say that at least 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student body use marijuana and/or alcohol, thought there is no cool/bad caste system between addicts and straight edges.
There are a few jocks who go here to study art, geeks hate the lacking academics and leave in the first semester or so, the party animals love it here and get there own apartments in Manchester(which, although fun to explore is a disgusting city) so that they may have more freedom with parties, alcohol and other childhood tomfoolery.
And, of course, half of the female student body is homely while a good 25{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} are gorgeous, with the rest being the generic short brunette girls whose names you will never remember because they all look so similar.
Gay kid, another art school stereotype, are also prevalent. there aren't as many as one would think, but there is a handful of them, myself included as a bisexual. Some are flamers, some are not, but it's never in your face.
The worst have to be the anime geeks. Don't get me wrong, they're cool as long as they can draw well. I used to be one myself, and I'm doing so much better as an artist because of the training this school has given me.

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
The school full of a family vibe. There are only 600 undergrade students. The teachers and the students are all on a first name basis, we are a family. The dorms are wonderful. My room is huge, and I only have to share my bathroom with 3 other girls; there are several bathrooms on each floor, and the laundrary room across my hall is free.; no quarters needed. Although there is a small amount of students here, everyone has their own characteristics so there is plenty of variety and culture around us. The school is great, join me here !
