My experience so far is very satisfying. I don't know how it is like in the other departments, but in the Illustration/2d Animation department, the faculty and tech support are friendly, especially the Directors, who are always willing to direct and help. They go out of their way to give us opportunities, portfolio reviews, set up classes that would benefit each student individually. The classes are graded harshly, and competition is expected... what else could I ask for! This is the ART INDUSTRY. COMPETITION is like food to us. Unless you put work into your classes, then there isn't going to be great results. There is no A for effort. Especially not in a field where end result is a factor in whether or not you get to keep your job. There are arrogant teachers, there are idiot students, but how your college experience is up to you to determine. YOu can ask around for the best teachers in a certain subject. Take their class. Network with teachers who are still in the field. Submit work into the Spring Show, get noticed. This is all on the student, not the teachers. If you, as a student, feel as if you shouldn't have to go out of your way to get the best opportunities, then how will you, as a professional, find a decent job afterwards?
