Admissions

Check out the place before you make any decisions!!
If you feel the vicinity isn't comfortable for you, or not what you were looking for, then you may want to look into other colleges.
Studio space is a major thing you should be looking for. After all, you're paying money to attend this college for the next 4 or more years. Make sure you want to BE there for those years. If you're not comfortable or satisfied when you're touring the place, you probably won't be later on.

Take a tour and fall in love with this place!

Work hard otherwise you probably won't make it to graduation.

MIAD is one of the most fun places you can come to with a very relaxed atmosphere when it comes to artistic expression and your individuality, but don't expect it to be easy. MIAD challenges you in a way that is interesting and useful to your work, so what you do is rightfully named. It is work.

Always keep on the ball with scholarships. Don't just rely on your parents to pay off your expenses, get some work ethic and try to either get a job, or go crazy applying for schoalrships. It'll be really helpful. Keep up with your grades because you'll get more grants from the state and government. Be careful of the bad neighborhoods in Milwaukee, but don't be afraid to explore! Go out and do stuff, because there are a lot of opportunities around you, you just need to look!
