Cornish College of the Arts Top Questions

I'm now in my third year of college and I'm now able to see the changes that will help me with my future. I remember my second year was hard and I was starting to feel down about my progress and starting to sort of hate school a little. But this new year being a junior has brought me back to why I love the theatre and why I'm at school right now instead of running off after high school to be a movie star. I can say I'm finally out of my box that I have been in for a long time and it feels good. I have finally found the real me and Cornish and it's teachers have helped me find it, unleash it. This feeling that I feel this semester is almost unwritable, it's a feeling that warms me and makes me see that whatever character I get or play I'm cast in, there's always a part of it that I can relate to and have fun with. It's not just work or classes to get good grades in, it's my life, my fun, and my future.

College, is an educational experience that everyone should get to enjoy or try out. I have discovered so much more about myself than I ever would if I didn't attend a school. Through college you are able to discover a career path you would like to take and run with it. While you are deciding your career you meeting and getting to know so many new and beautiful people that you never would have. I am constantly surprised by how many new people I get to know and how much we are a like. In college almost everyone is striving for the same thing which is a degree. College isn't just about the degree though, it's about the experiences and the discovery of self. The self you would like to be. The self that you weren't allowed to be because of high school. In college you can be whoever you want and no matter what it's right.

Cornish has given me confidence within presenting my personal works and school works. Also, the building of my portfolio for the working world has grown and has become stronger in voice. I have always been dependable and hardworking and Cornish fosters these ways of working, whether in school life or employment. I feel that I am receiving the support I need to be successful after graduation.

So far my college experience has consited of a tour and registration. Both of these events were beneficial to me. Cornish administration is open, helpfull, and organized. The students are passionate and driven, which in turn inspires for me to do the same and strive for the best. I have already felt comfortable in the environment which will make it easy to adjust to college life. Everything about Cornish cultivates an intense and productive learning environment.

I have gotten so much from the college I am attending now. I have professors who have excelled in their field of studies and are here to help me reach my personal best as a dancer as well, this is able to happen with everyone who attends this college because the class sizes are so small. The school is very demanding and teaches you discipline fast, as well as how to balance out your life so you too can stay sane. Cornish does a great job at setting you up for your future, they are always letting you know what job opportunities are available and Cornish College of the Arts stands out on anyones r?sum?. I have personally learned more than I imagined attending this school for the first year, and it has been amazing to see my self grow and take bigger steps than I have anticipated to do. Now I can only keep on dreaming and growing as I keep on returning to Cornish in the later years, I am finally reaching for my dreams, and I am loving it.

The one thing I wish that I could say to myself as a higschool senior is to not be afraid of going for what you love. As being a transfer student to Cornish College of the Arts I have deffinetly discovered that you can't let anxiety and fear get in the way of your passion. That is what I would pass to myself, that in the end sometimes the practical option won't always make you happy and in the end enjoying what you do everyday is the most important thing in the world. I would want to pass on to myself that college is somewhere that you can't hide yourself from people because in the end you will regret your experiences. College is somewhere in which you can't be afraid to be silly, outrageous, and jump out of your shell. I would implore myself that grades are just as important as always, but being outgoing and taking chances in class and in life are just as important, because in the end college can help make you a stronger more independent person if your willing to let yourself just be yourself.

Stay dedicated to your beliefs and dreams. By staying in school and banking your money you will be able to achieve your goals. It is easy for a high school student to not realize how quickly life will change once you have graduated from high school. It is not easy in the economy to obtain employment where you can realize your dreams and achievements. By staying in school the assistance you receive there will help you to acutally realize your potential as a productive member of society.

Just be yourself, stay focused, and work hard. In doing so you will make great friends and share good times. Also the dorms do not have ovens so figure out now how to bake without one.

Take a year off. Doing so will help you to appreciate learning so much more. Go out and get a part time job, make some cash, save some cash, and just learn about how living in the world works. Try to experience as much as possible and figure out what you are into and what classes you want to take. Go back to school. Even though you were off and having fun for awhile, go back, you will need it, and like it more than you realise. Chances are that in the end you will find a job you like that can support you, which is not terribly likely without further schooling.

In my senior year of high school, I was extremely busy pursuing high school music activities. I felt that rather than taking on the college application process, I would go to a community college until I knew what I wanted to do. This turned out to be a poor decision, because rather than planning for my future, I took the easy way out. After a quarter of community college, I knew it was not the place for me. I then tried a university as a non-matriculated student, but it was too big and overwhelming. Finally, someone suggested I try Cornish. Determined not to repeat my earlier experiences, I took my time researching the school: visiting the campus, attending a summer seminar, and meeting the heads of the Music Department. The more I learned about Cornish, the more I felt it was a good fit. If I could talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to make a plan and research colleges. If I had focused on finding a school that suited me, instead of just assuming my first option was a good one, I would have saved myself a lot of time and frustration.
