College Prowler Take
Many students love and hate RISD at the same time. The workload may be extremely demanding, but RISD students are not coming to receive the typical college experience. They are coming to get in touch with a community of artists that will enrich their understanding of art as a medium. RISD students come to gain access to an amazing amount of resources and equipment, which enable them to push their art form as much as possible. They aren’t looking for the big party school or a Greek scene—they are coming here to find themselves, to be individuals, and excel in their individual talents. RISD students work very hard and are rewarded in the end. Many feel they are prepared to enter some sort of job or pursue a way to become active professionals in their field. In many ways, RISD is like boot camp for art, but it’s also an amazing opportunity for students to make the work that they want, while learning about themselves and their surroundings in the process. Once students let go of any ideas of what college is supposed to be, they will realize that RISD is not only a completely unique and exhilarating experience, but also provides a degree that holds a lot of weight in the professional world and skills that will serve students for their entire lives. Ask any RISD student, and they will say that as much as they complain, they would never go anywhere else. Students Speak Out

I think I’m meant to be here. Despite a couple of minor drawbacks, this school has helped me hone my technical knowledge and fine art capabilities. A number of teachers have been refreshingly inspirational. It is an intense place, and I don’t recommend attending unless you bring that same level of intensity to the table. |

I love RISD, and I can’t imagine being in another school. Everyone is so nice and friendly. You can talk to random people out of your major and feel perfectly comfortable talking to them. I was amazed at how much talent people have and how much you can learn from each other. It’s very inspiring to be around a group of talented people; you get new ideas from your peers. I have also branched out a lot and have many friends from other departments. I find it comforting to hang out with people from ID or Illustration or FAV or Architecture because they give you another perspective of how art can be done and how their departments function. I also gained a great experience involving myself with extracurricular activities. It trained me to think beyond RISD and outside of RISD, as well. Also, I learned a lot of leadership skills being involved with various activities. |

It’s been a good one. There have been downsides, things I didn’t enjoy, but nothing I think I could have necessarily avoided by going anywhere else (all the dorms I’ve seen are equally crappy). |
