Maryland Institute College of Art Top Questions

What kind of person should attend Maryland Institute College of Art?

Albany

Anyone who wants to learn more about the arts in a welcoming environment. The school offers a vast array of majors from which students can take classes.

Ohnshil

Someone who wants education in art. Someone who is OK with the fact that MICA is in a ghetto area.

William

Everyone, its a good school

Shoshanah

Being that it is an Art school, and Art schools have a reputation, I would say that people with an opened mind would fit in; an open mind, but not an open mouth. It sometimes becomes difficult when polotics, religion and gender seem to always be the favorite topics of the staff and students alike. I am only in my first year, but the people buzzing around me are all very unique, individual curiosities in and of themselves. I find myself also falling into this category. You are an interesting human being to attend here, that's for sure.

Stephanie

Anyne who is dedicated to their art.

Erin

Anyone who wants to be at a school where everyone is working their absolute hardest, not because of grades, but because of the satisfaction that comes from making a piece that you can be really proud of. This person should be very devoted to art in general and love doing it. Also very important, this person should be very open-minded and accepting of new things that may seem odd or unorthodox.

Demerise

Everyone is welcome! There is no one type of person that is welcome to the school because everyone is welcome and definitely well accepted.

Genesis

First someone who whole heartedly interested in the arts. Next, one who feels they will contribute to the art world by challenging the viewer and themselves. Finally someone who will take MICA by force regardless of intensity (talent and conceptual ideas), they must know what they put in, is what they get out.

Jackie

a creative artistic abstract thinking person

Eric

Willing to live in an urban area, who does not care fro a campus setting and willing to explore what the city has to offer
