It is a safe place. Nice diverse and inviting college. I liked the college visit, tour guide was great and I hope to attend soon. Door rooms nice 4 per room. Disabled & LGBTQ+ friendly.

Loved it. though I am still looking for a job in my field, i feel that I walked away after graduating knowing a LOT more than i thought i'd ever know. Most of the bad reviews in my opinion are from people who were not ready to commit, or work to learn. I might have had a hard time the first few years, but I greatly enjoyed and appreciated all my professors there. If you are willing to work and study hard, while at the same time have a passion for art, I highly recommend this school.

tour review: 5 stars - Izabella was awesome and gave so much good information effectively in a short amount of time (~an hour?) - we were really impressed! Great Admissions staff as well as the faculty we met as well. Students' art throughout the buildings was all brillant too : )

Super friendly folks, providing classic art education in a focused and accessible location! If you are an art focused student, looking to extend and/or expand your art, or art related career, do some digging into CCAD! Great place do hone your art capabilities, as well as expand into classic "hands in/hands on" types of art that not every college can provide!

as a student here, i can say that this school is horrible and the amount of cons heavily outweigh the pros. the faculty is terrible at addressing student concerns and do not meet the needs of the students at all. if the professor is good, they are really good -- but if the professor is bad, they are TERRIBLE. this school is extremely expensive as well, and most of the time it feels like you are not getting what you are paying for. theres numerous cash grabs and irrelevant, but mandatory, payments. with the amount of money this school makes, you would expect higher quality care, but not at all. the internet is terrible, food is not great... i would save your money and choose any other art school over this one.
