This school screwed me up. It’s also EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. Go to your local public college’s art program instead.

I got hospitalized and developed a panic disorder because of this place. I wasn’t able to draw, at all, for a year afterward because of the anxiety. The experience varies WILDLY by major, but… Do NOT go here unless you’re very wealthy, mentally stable, and willing to forsake your entire social life… and I mean it.

I stayed up for days and days and DAYS in a row. I had to quit my part-time job. I swear I could feel myself losing years from my life because of how much stress I was constantly under. Daily panic attacks. And I don’t mean anxiety attacks, I mean full on-the-floor-hyperventilating meltdowns. There was little understanding from my professors as far as mental health issues went. I honestly felt as if I was set up to fail from the start because 1.) I’m not rich and 2.) I’m not neurotypical.

Simply put – if you aren’t rich, mentally stable, and type A, it isn’t worth it. Put your happiness and sanity first. You don’t need to go to an expensive elite private college to be successful.

Ringling College of Art and Design exceeded all my expectations. The faculty’s dedication to nurturing creativity is unparalleled, creating an inspiring environment for artistic growth. The cutting-edge facilities and diverse range of courses make it the perfect incubator for anyone passionate about the arts.
It is disgusting to witness an institution prioritize its reputation over the safety and justice owed to its students. A college should be a place of learning, trust, and protection, and this institution falls significantly short
