If you like to take 55k a year and flush it down the toilet MICA is the PERFECT place for you. in all honesty i regret going back for a second year. I come from a working middle class family. my family has worked for every dime they have ever made, I'm going to this school for half price and still have massive debt for when i graduate. you may ask your self why I'm telling you about my finical background? Why? because 99% of micas population is a bunch of arrogant self righteous rich kids that want to be a "starving artist" aka live off of mommy and daddys trust fund. me being middle of the road girl I'm looked down upon for wanting to be in the work force (art teacher, art therapist), to the rest of micas student body I'm seen as taking the "easy way out" I'm nothing but a joke to them because apparently that makes me less of an artist. as for micas student body i think i could write a novel on how nasty they are, if you've ever seen the movie mean girls that is mica in a nut shell, except Regina George is wearing free people and smoking cigarets. if you don't agree with the rest of micas views you're basically just piece of shit, god forbid you EVER do the "norm" or be your own person. everyone will cry about how poor they are and how hard they have it but then go buy a pack of cigs and drive off in their nice leather interior BMW or Mercedes. there is no social scene you will spend every night smoking weed in your room alone or going to some bad party run buy some guy who will probably make fun of you once you leave. you're honestly better off staying home alone watching reruns on netflix. Also for such a "prestigious" art school you think you would have a massive work load and hard critiques but instead its just pulling teeth to ever get anyone to speak in class. The faculty is most unhelpful and I'm convinced gives out grades based on opinion and I'm pretty sure I'm right ,they are all very talented but have no idea how to teach. if you actually want to LEARN in college you'll never learn anything at MICA. I've been here or two years and written 1 paper and taken 2 tests, i can't tell you one thing i have learned at mica. sure my art has gotten better but thats only because I've gotten older and i do it every day but i can't say I've actually learned anything useful to apply to the real world. in closing DONT GO TO ART SCHOOL if you want to BE AN ARIST, PRACTICE EVERY DAY YOU WILL GET BETTER. go to school and learn how to market yourself learn,love and prosper, be a business major and get yourself out there, if you honestly know art is your calling i beg of you to never waste a dime on art school, you'll loose touch of reality and get nothing out of it. everyone here feeds off of misery and anger. you're already an artist and none can take that from you and never doubt that even if you do make the mistake to go here. :)
