Massachusetts College of Art and Design Top Questions

I usually tell my friends how amazing all the professors are. I was very lucky to get the best teachers. A lot of them know a lot beyond their field. The teacher that stood out the most was my drawing teacher. He knew Latin; he recited Shakespeare and knew a lot about history and literature. He always talked about how being average is not enough in this world if we want to be successful.

What I brag mostly about my school are the teachers in it. Back in highschool, many students came from colleges and told us theres no help there, we will be absolutely on our own, no one cares about what we will do and dont when we go to college. But when I came to Massart, I experienced just the opposite. The teachers didn't just come to class, teach and leave, they encouraged us to ask questions when we weren't and they helped when we needed it. They gave us opportunities to even improve our grades etc.

Our school is about open-mindedness and absorbtion of culture, thought, and knowledge. Everyone is highly encouraged to express themselves. As artists, it is our job to present the world, or how we interpret it, in our own, personal way. Our school is not competitive. We share thoughts and ideas and learn from eachother. It is a very laid-back schoool. The school does not put pressure on me, I put pressure on myself. I am my own competition, and I can only learn from my mistakes. If I am constantly searching and asking questions my art will never cease.

I always tell my friends that I was in such a wonderful, diverse setting, exposed to art in a big city. I had creative professors who always encouraged me to challenge myself and take risks in whatever it was I was trying to create.

There is a strong social life! Everyone is very open and caring. School guides you in your art making and reveals things you would have never discovered on your own.

we are one of the top 5 design schools, and my teachers are AWESOME

I don't brag. Massart isn't that great, really. It's good if you are really vested in your field and is an excellent art school. It's just not for everyone.

How open everyone is in accepting different personalities and cultures. The fact that, although the curriculum is hard we can be creative with our course work and our abilities

I don't usually brag, because it tends to put other people down. I just say what I like about my school. I like the fact that the students are pretty down to earth. Most are quite friendly and admire each other's artwork. The teachers are also pretty mellow. I mean you do have to work hard, but the teachers won't freak out about every singe assignment turned in on time. They are sympathetic to students who have good excuses for their late work.
