Cornish is a welcoming art school full of musical variation as well as artistic freedom. I admire the constant updates about recitals, and I enjoy the relaxed vibe of the artists here. Art departments range from an oriental drum room to theater and film majors.
I would prefer better chefs in the cafeteria though since the food isn’t anything special. I would also like to see more publicity involving Cornish culture rather than this one isolated block in Seattle Center. It’s as divided as a Chinatown, needs more promo!

Cornish truly is a nurturing environment, this school, based on my experience, is definitely more for individuals who are willing to work really hard, are creative and forward thinking. The faculty is beyond amazing and are successful artists outside of their careers in higher education. Expensive, yes, but like most art schools, you get what you put into this place. I feel transfer student tend to do better because they’re used to the work load. Where as fresh out of high school students seem to struggle more. This place isn’t very diverse so as a person of color this can at times it can be tough. However I can definitely say I do not regret coming here. I’m very happy with my education, school but important what my school stands for and the support you get from the faculty no matter how crazy your creative ideas are.
Cornish College of the Arts isn't like other Arts schools, it allows artists to practice their craft and perfect it with fellow artists. The teachers are artists themselves so they know how to teach students in a way that can help them be successful in whatever they want to do. Not to mention, Cornish is in the heart of Seattle, and its buildings are clean; making its student life quite nice! Choosing Cornish was an easy choice when the school and its people are so accepting and welcome you with open arms.
