MICA has competent teachers (for the most part), interesting classes, and exceptional art-making facilities and equipment. The foundational courses everyone is required to complete during Freshman year are less popular, but they are taught with the assumption that everyone has fairly good technical skills. In other words, the intro part of the intro classes is mainly getting you comfortable with new materials, equipment, and conceptual thinking. You won't be paying to relearn the basics unless you opt for a very technical class such as drawing. The food and dorms are nothing special, but they are overpriced. If you think of yourself as a misunderstood genius, an undeserving misfit, or warrior of acceptance of everyone and everything except the many, many people and things that offend you, you will fit right in. However, if your social skills are good to average and your favorite pastime isn't complaining about how terrible Western society is, you'll feel like your life is a knock off of Legally Blonde. The people here are either reclusive or in tight nit groups that yammer on about inclusiveness but are totally hypocritical and judge mental. Of coarse, the personalities and social habits of students aren't the school's fault. All art colleges may be like this. I wouldn't know because I've only gone to this one. If you look hard enough, you'll be able to find nice people. But be warned, most people here are pretentious assholes who think they're saints, and if you're a member of any majority group (male, Caucasian, etc.) prepare to be aggressively shamed.
