Academics

Very important to stay up on assignments and classes. The studio hours are long and there are a few a week. Good for students who can sit down and paint for hours, otherwise if you can't sit still and work, the time will drag on for a very long time.

Professors are sometimes very lenient with workload and grading - which isn't very good if you're looking for an honest assessment of your artistic ability. So you have to work hard and talk with your professors to get the most out of your education. The more work and effort you put into something, the better your grade - and personal experience.

The classes push you to try new things and take risks. There is a lot of art to do, but not much related to math or science.
