I'm a freshman at CCS studying Crafts and Material Studies. The education is super individualized in my experience, probably because of the great student-teacher ratio. I've learned so many new techniques since I've been here. The social life is subpar, but it is present and it's amazing to be surrounded by so many creatives! It's really clear that everyone here is incredibly dedicated and that the alumni are super successful. It's a really rigorous school and you have to work super hard, but it's worth every bit and it's very rewarding. I've produced so much art in the past year and so have all my classmates, it's a really unique and impressive experience.

As a current sophomore in animation attending College for Creative studies, I can say my experience thus far has been educationally rewarding accompanied both by its ups and downsides. The campus is very successful at building a creative environment for its students with the assistance of its professors. Although, my biggest discomfort with the university is the difficulty surrounding acquiring help regarding class scheduling as well as obtaining assistance to learning situations that are not working for the students involved. I value my time at this university, but regarding the field of animation, I believe there is room for improvement.

Excitement. If I had to describe College for Creative Studies using only one word, "excitement" is the appropriate description. If you have creative skills and have not discovered your artistic niche, professors and community of students will help you get there. The Professors and students you work alongside re-envision and redefine what it means to be an artist in the 21st century. Their purpose is to help educate, mentor, and expand teamwork. What I enjoy most about CCS is seeing people interact with your work by sharing experiences and lessons they have learned while pursuing their program. CCS functions like a family. Before you know it, you will have the privilege of guiding new students along their creative path. With all the positive collaboration, students will realize their creative niche and potential. When you graduate from CCS, you will leave with more than a degree diploma. You will have life-long friendships and a support network who works directly in a creative field.
