I attended the Pre-College Summer Session in 2017 here at MCAD and I love every minute of it. The campus is perfect for all of our needs. The Art Cellar here is top notch and have everything from paints to pens to paper. Anything an art student would need at an affordable price. The Service Bearau here is also very good. The people there are super helpful in assisting me with my final project. The College Center here has a ping pong table as well a pool table & arcade machine. The campus is also very close to Nicollet Ave. so there is easy access to a bunch of restaurants and cafes.

I am going into my sophomore year here at MCAD, its honestly everything I could have wanted. A great campus for those who like a close knit community and a more personal learning experience. Great Professors and courses available and gorgeous surroundings. As many Art schools are, It is expensive but not undo-able if you can get the scholarships and work study to help out! LOVE it here, cant imagine being anywhere else!

Prestigious institution, nestled in Minneapolis.

The buildings look like delightful failed projects in architectural art.

A school of art is like a school of fish—it's just safety in numbers.

Not a good ag school

Samantha Mulvihill

MCAD sold me a degree that didn't exist. Less than half the classes existed for the program they offered (BFA in Advertising). The classes they did offer often had professors that wouldn't even grade homework or show up to class half the time. Once you graduate, they offer 0 alumi resources. Essentially a scam.

It's perfect

A great place to see amazing work from unknown, little known, and well known artists. Also a great place to take adult continuing education classes in any visual arts discipline you could imagine, including things like furniture design and grant writing. Their instructors are second to none. Classes are a little spendy but well worth the money. It's safe to say that if you take a continuing education class here you will get significantly more than you pay for.

(Translated by Google) The school has a strong artistic atmosphere, respects the students' ideas, pays attention to practice, and the teachers are also very good. (Original) 学校艺术氛围很浓厚，尊重学生的想法，注重实践，师资也很棒。

Great facilities. Everything else was lacking. I experienced little or no guidance when selecting a major or finding a career. Really disappointed with the instruction, the curriculums, it’s really hard to get the classes you want. safety is not great, I had a laptop stolen, was almost run over in the parking lot by a drunk driver and security did nothing both times. The culture at the school is very clique-ish, It’s not the most welcoming environment, it doesn’t help that most students are introverts and that this is the Midwest and everyone is passive aggressive. This all leads to a toxic environment that’s palpable at times. Students are wound so tight because classes are long, the attendance is strict and everyone is tired from pulling all-nighters all the time because the competitive pressure is huge, That wouldn’t be so bad but Campus life is non-existent there is no meal plan, the cafeteria hours aren’t great. Finally students are held to a higher standard than the faculty and staff, an example: it’s annoying to lose a letter grade if you miss two classes, but then have a teacher that’s late and under prepared everyday is irritating. There is no excuse for late work yet grades are never updated in a timely fashion. The school likes to have this polished image for its donors and when the school throws events students are treated like second class citizens. And for many of the instructors this just seems like a job for them to pad their resume, that’s why there is such a large turnover with instructors at MCAD.
