Academy of Art University Top Questions

The relationship and professional experience of our instructors, their knoweldge and experiences in the field, and the interaction with them is priceless.

What I have gotten out of my college experience is that life is a whole different place outside of high school and there is no one there to hold your hand and encourage you to do your work. I have to learn to be independant and strive to do the best that I can be and learn to stand on my own two feet. There is not another place in the world like college; here you learn to stand on your own and learn your job skills and meet new and interesting people. The connections made in college are those that stay with a person for a lifetime. College has been valuable to me because I know that when I gain my bachelors degree and start on my own that I am prepared for anything that comes my way and I have the tools and am able to utilize those tools to turn any situation for my benefit.

I have gotten great friendships and teaching out of my college. My college has taught me alot about myself and how to better myself. I have good people working with me to get my degree and I enjoy how the college is so happy all of the time.

Its an incrediable place to be. I love the students and the teachers. I love the city it is located in. I love everything about my school.

Well I am not in college yet, but I hope to be enrolled this coming spring semester. I hope to be able to recieve the best education possible so that I may be able to help other children like me with cancer as well as adults. I hope to make many new friends that I will have for a life time as well as become friends with my professors on a professional level. I look forward to all the new adventures that will come with attending a 4-year school. One can only hope that there college experience is just as good or better than others around them.

Over last two and a half years I have gotten more out of my college experience that I ever would have imaged. If I had known I would have waited ten years to go back to school. I have learned Math which I was never good at, I have learned how to be an advanced user of the computers, and I have learned a lot in my Written Communications along with my American History class. It had been valuable for me to attend because I have learned more in the last two and a half years than I did after four years of high school. I also feel it is very important to attend so that I can live a good life and make money, unlike the other people in my family. I want to be able to succeed in life.

I am majoring in Healthcare Administration/Management. What I have received from the University in which I attend is valuable information to help keep a medical office or hospital running smoothly. I have taken classes that have strengthen me emotionally as well as physically. Classes such as ethics helps me understand other cultures and how to communicate with them. Many different cultures work and live in the United States and having knowledge of different culutures helps you relate. I have also received knowledge in patient records and billing. These are first hand medical postions needed to run an medical office. Going back to school also gave me a second chance at a education and preparing me to compete in the job market. It's been an absolute pleasure attending college. I recommend others like me who sees a second chance at an education to go back to school. The whole college experience makes me feel whole , feel like I belong. That matters because when you are willing to learn you are gaining knowledge that can assit you further as you entering the job field. Education is the best valuable experience to get out of college.

I gained experience of living on my own, seeing what it's like, living in the experience. It's been valuable to attend because this school's goal is to have everyone acheive their dreams and they give us the learning tools we need in order to gain a more broader knowledge of our majors. There are foundations classes that allow me to learn what I didn't know and to dig deeper and see the things outside of the box from a different perspective. Also, these classes build my skills and my artistic ability because I now know how to express myself in an open way. My experience here at the academy has been wonderful and fruitful because I have learned so much when I have been here for the last 2 and a half months :)

I can now see the form within the human figure, hands and feet. I can see the corkscrew all the way through, not just what is meant to be seen. not only have i built a solid foundation for my major, I started meeting people whose work had inspired me to do something bigger, more colorful and better. these people also have helped me when I get stuck and don't know what to work on next. However, the teachers at my schools have been the most helpful people for me. They help me with my art, but also when I am stressed and don't know where to start, they comfort me by telling me that I can do it, just one piece at a time. I have been in school for four years now and haven't recieved even an associate's degree, but, these past four years have really changed me for the better. I was once unmotivated to even get up in the morning; now I work constantly on new pieces of art. All the schools I have attended have taught me to keep moving forwards, even if graduating may seem unattainable.

What have i gotten out of my college experience? Well to tell you the truth i have just started my college experience and already i have gotten tons of inspiration my peers. Inspiration that has push me to do my best, not just in school but at home when im doing nothing. I attend the Academy of Art University, a school where there is nothing but artist, striving to obtain that one thing that they crave most, their dream. Since i have been here, I have notice my skills as a artist getting better and better with each passing day, with each passing sketch. So when i graduate i would have a portfolio of nothing but greatness,and i have not only the teachers, who are masters of their field, but also the students, who continue to inspire me with their drawings. That inspiration have lead me to become more enthusiastic about the work that i produce. And it's through this experience that make going to college a valuable and rewarding moment.
