American Academy of Art

There Isn't Much

The actual building is decent. And the library is sufficient. But this is a really small school. Other than the library, other facilities open to students are two small lounges with vending machines, and an art gallery opened some of the times.

Decent Amount, but Things Can Get Crazy

For such a small school (about 400-500 students), there are actually a lot of computers. There's a mac lab with about 6 computers, each with small scanners and a large scanner. And a library with pcs, for more of a general use or papers. Both have printers. Most days these are fine, but during finals or midterms it can get bad. There are also several classrooms equip with macs.The wireless network can get glitchy and slow, but often times it's fine. There are some deadzone though, that can get nerve-racking and sometimes the network just goes down.

Not What Most People Expect in an Art School

The students at my school aren't what most people expect from an art school. The typical art student that most people think of are those kids who have a cigarette in one hand and coffee in the other, wearing "hipster" clothing and talking about how amazing they are.

Of course at my school, there are some students that are like that. But there are more who legitimately want a career in art. It's a diverse group of people, yet still unified in their interest in art
