What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
The advice I would give myself would be to be ready to work hard and long hours on projects. College is much different from high school, where as a student in high school homework assignments can be done within a few hours, and college assignments at an art school take long hours, weeks, and a lot of preparation before final projects are due. Competition is another factor at an art college, it is not a field one can easily fit into. I would also tell myself to practice as much as possible. It is difficult to compete when there is someone steps ahead of you, for the reason people in college are at different levels and skills. I would definitely tell myself to assure this is what I want for myself and research art careers before making the jump to a four year college. I often have seen students drop out for the reason the workload can overwhelm. I would also advise myself to have fun, do not overthink, and always expect the unexpected.

What kind of person should attend this school?
You should attend this school if you are interested in a small, quaint environment, if you like a close community of students (there are only about 300), and professors that are able to get personal work done with you. If you are the type of person who likes to get heard, come here: there is plenty of opportunity to voice your opinion and get feedback on it too! This school is for those with great interest in the fine arts, but there is also a great game art and graphic design major.

What kind of person should not attend this school?
Don't attend if you like a big school with a grand campus and impressive classroom sizes. Don't attend if you would like a cafeteria handy (there's no food service here, only the vending machine), or if you like a lot of students walking around. Don't attend if you are looking for performing arts like music or drama.

Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
The difference from LCAD than other colleges is, it is focused on art related fields. The faculty is well respected in their careers outside of the school and bring foundation courses before bringing advanced course studies. Students learn step by step of the skills needed to survive in an art related field, wether it's painting and drawing, sculpture, game art, animation or graphic design. Other colleges I have attended to, do not cover the full abilities and skill one needs to be succesful.

What's unique about your campus?
While the location and campus are stunning, the programs offered are strong and the staff/faculty are not only considerate but largely experienced in each of their individual fields, which definitely helps to further the growth of the students in attendance. Having a small campus focused almost entirely on the arts helps to guide each individual student towards their speciality as they delve further into their fields of study as well as their future, and having such dedicated teachers is a tremendously helpful thing.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
that community college is a viable option if you are unsure of your major, I wasted 3 years at a University before I discovered that LCAD was the place for me. Community collegesare a great place to get the basics without burning a hole in your pocket or wasting time learning something you may not choose to do.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The only thing that I would change about my school is the price. I love everything form the students and teachers to the small, quaint, campus riddled with sculptures of the human figure contrasted by modern architecture. My only desire is for transportation, the 2 hour bus ride eats very valuable time that I can't use for homework due to the nature of the public transit system and art itself. The tuition is reasonable but still a very high mountain to climb for someone in my position.
