ArtCenter College of Design, Pasadena CA

This place is a waste of money and will ruin your life.

I was deceived by counselors at the school, that my stuff was good and to spend money on their extension program to beef up my portfolio. They then boosted my ego by saying my portfolio was good and ready for review, even though they removed several pieces and instead left the extension program work, only for hopes to be dashed and told my stuff was narrow in scope.

In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't get in and spend a ton of money, racking up student debt for a job I would come to realize I didn't like. I was darn good at graphic design, I just didn't like doing it for others.

The professors are good, and the campus is beautiful but my bank account is much prettier than those students that have gone here, drowning in debt. Right now, they would kill for the small amount of debt I have, part of it being a car payment.

It was the art night in pasadena, and i love the wall full of book's pages

A great school with great students
the education that they give their students make them stronger, smarter, independent and even aggressive (in a good way)

Do not waist your time and your talent by this school if you are not a wealthy, rich Korean kid. This school doesn't care about you. After I found out that i couldn't pay for my classes one term, I had to drop all my classes with in the first week. Art center sent me a huge bill for one week of classes and refused to help me out with the payments. They also put a hold on my transcript, I can't go back to art center or in the matter of the fact any other schools until I finish paying for that week of classes. Thanks art center for making it impossible.
