Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | Fun atmosphere. Good instruction. |
| Program Reputation | 7 | Pretty well accredited. Recommended nationally. |
| Program Quality | 7 | Technically unsound. Most of my technical skills (Photoshop, Indesign, and Illustrator) were self-taught. |
| Instruction | 5 | Not enough teaching on the business-end. Treats graphic design like an art form rather than communication. |
| How Difficult | 7 | Constantly on task. 4hr studios, twice a week. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Mostly hands on. Very little reading. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | Pretty flexible. Mandatory attendance most of the time. |
| Academic Facilities | 6 | Good computer lab; library is one building over. |
| Social Life | 5 | I entered college when I was 21. I didn't really connect with immature 19 year olds. |
| Placement Services | 3 | Not existent. You place yourself. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | Not really sure. Once I graduated I faded into the distance. |
