Sarah
If you either don't do art or if you are looking for a more trade based art education.
Brandon
The kind of student that should not attend MICA is the one who is not confident in his work. The students who does not want be encouraged or speak directly with faculty. MICA is not the palce for a student who does not want to hear from faculty members or get support from student life.
Raven
Obviously, any student interested in MICA should be passionate about making artwork. It is hard work, so you have to be willing to make that effort and learn in the process. Close-minded people (either in regards to making art or social issues) should not go to MICA. The college experience here, in my experience so far, is about opening yourself up to new opportunities and challenges.
David
Any person who is not artistically inclinded or lacks interest in anything art related. There are some students who don't make art, but, focus primarily on liberal arts or humanistic studies.
Jane
I think the only person who shouldn't attend MICA is one that can't open up to the idea of self discovery. I came here to learn about painting, but I've learned so much more than that. I've learned why it is that I paint and how I can relate this to my world.
Emily
Anyone who is not seriously devoted to their art should not attend.
Stephanie
Lazy kids that have their parents pay for anything so they go to art school for fun.
Erik
anyone who is unwlling to change and grow, those who are unaccepting of things different to their own experience
Nicholas
Assuming that this person is already skillfully equipped and dedicated to a career in the arts. I would dissuade anyone without a strong sense of ambition, or anyone unwilling to immerse themselves into the academic community and city in which it resides. Also anyone who plans on paying for their education through private loans, partically NJCLASS offered by HESAA ( a faceless, heartless, and insurmountably difficult company to deal with).
Genesis
Besides the obvious, undriven individual whose parents have a couple of extra bucks and send them to art school.
Someone who is not completely sure about a career in the arts and also one who is not an art lover. should not attend MICA. Being an art lover is the only way to grow as an artist, especially when its a grand investment.
