Love this place more than any other. Best experience for me. Still in awe of the things I learned there.

Ive worked there for 28 years...its great, fine, everything is cool...So quit sending me these questions everytime I arrive and leave.

Fan-freakin-tastic! People...awesome! dorms....spacious! classrooms....superb!Everyone is just completely over the moon super sweet and fun.

Lovely art school. Beautiful campus, dedicated professors, talented student body. Check it out out.

Historic Icon in Kansas City for development of artistic talent. The campus adjoins the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art.

Great place to visit even. People are friendly and helpful.

Id like to go to this school its 5 stars and I love art.

Beautiful place

The Future of Art: a fantastic, immersive experience for talented + driven youths.

July 2019 Amazing Summer Art Classes for school age children. They are in the process of remodeling and adding on. The Nelson Atkins Museum is across the street. Lots of parks and shops near by. Kemper Museum of Art is next door. Always something Arty going on. Lots of FREE activities!

I stayed in the dorms and had a roommate who at first glance appeared to be quite ordinary until the evening of my 4th Tuesday here. I returned to my dorm to find my roommate cloaked in black. She stood in the center of a pentagram of candles. She threw salt at me. At first I was confused but then I realized how blessed I am to be attending such an institute. Best experience of my life.

This school is a sham. They dont care about their students, except the couple favorites that they pick out of the class. They will not help you find a job after you finish your degree. This place is really shady, I recommend you STAY AWAY.

I was in the animation major, and the department is not only severely underfunded but overall at this school the teachers are extremely biased and unable to teach in an effective way.Students have to take turns to use the equipment and then get told its their fault when theyre unable to meet deadlines.I personally have problems with learning computer programs, and when I asked for help I was told to Google it. Im paying $30,000 a year in tuition, I expect to be helped, not told to do something I could do on my own.The teachers also, instead of teaching, would have video tutorials for students to watch and would refuse to help and instead redirect students to the videos, which were only good if you had a Mac computer. They made no sense if you used a PC, which is what 80% of the students in the major had.The school says it embraces creativity, but the classes expect you to do things in a very specific way, and if you dont do it youre docked on your grades for it.The school itself is also very elitist. I was told by many students who take the foundation classes that they were strongly advised against getting jobs while at school, but then were also expected to buy expensive art supplies. Not only that, but the school itself shows blatant bias against the applied art majors like animation and illustration and graphic design.They also showed no care or concern for the interactive arts major. They actually closed the major down when there were students halfway through finishing and told to move to other majors.Signing up for classes is a nightmare. Advising counselors dont help with sign up whatsoever, have admitted multiple times via email they dont know which classes count towards required credits for degrees, and half the time theres not enough room in the required classes or theres classes you need that arent being taught/available. This was especially prevalent during senior year which was absolutely ridiculous and stressful.The buildings themselves are very underkept. Theyre building new buildings while the baty house and illustration department building are infested with cockroaches and mold.Their student website also is really bad. It constantly locks you out and makes you reset your password, and the school itself has bad wifi connections. They are impossible to get in contact with, I would send multiple emails asking for help with admissions or signing up for classes and would only be redirected to multiple people, all who showed very blatantly that they didnt care.Teachers use the website called Moodle for their online assignments, which sucks because Moodle is one of the worst websites Ive ever had to use. Not only is it stupid that this school doesnt have online classes, which for a lot of people I know wouldve helped a lot, the website they do use looks and works like it was made and last updated in the early 90s.The neighborhood around it is also bad. Its relatively safe around the Nelson, but thats because they have good security. The school, however, does not. There have been mutliple instances while Ive been there where students have been robbed at gunpoint. Another family had their car stolen off campus. The school sends out a monthly crime report of everything going on around the school and its usually a couple pages long. Its ridiculous the amount of crime that goes on around and on campus.The only reason I came to this school was because it was closer to my hometown than other animation schools, something I really regret doing now.Personally, if you are considering going to this school I would say to give it a hard pass. Keep your options open, because this school will not hesitate to screw you over. It costs too much for what youre getting in return, and youll be on your own because its impossible to get help from anyone who works there.

My dreamed about Arts. I want successful Arts, if good save money for job! hope i want must foucs work arts like someday all days cool. I never bored.

It reminded me of SCAD

Honestly a really crappy school, their buildings are disgusting and falling apart, their food is awful, wifi works maybe once every few weeks. Their school program is great but honestly everything else is such a whirling storm of crap that with all the money youre paying you wonder where your money is even going. If you do decide to go here DONT live in the dorms, also theyll make everything so stressful that you might end up having a phsycotic breakdown, because seriously somebody had one. If you asked me if you should go here Id say no. Even if their program is great their facilities and services and care of their students is so poor that not even the great classes can make up for it.

Love this place. Fun to visit and chat with students.

Awesome dreamed about it since I was a kid

Many of the buildings are falling apart and there are less than a dozen parking spaces available to students on campus.

Awesome museum. Check it out!!!

I want to attend school over there

Quality education

Great fun

Great school
