Insanely costly for a barely average quality education. The expectations are beyond attainable and your classmates will drop like flies throughout the program. For it already being so expensive, nothing is provided and you will spend about $1,000 extra on materials a semester that I have been provided through community college. The connections are promising, but the professors choose favorites and you need to pray that they will take you under their wing. Otherwise you will be left with heavy debt and no job. It is impossible to work to support yourself while going here. So while this institution prides itself on its diversity, they're ashamed to admit they're only accommodating to the wealthy privileged students that can spend over $50,000, have money for Los Angeles rent, food and everything else. This school is not minority friendly and most drop out due to how expensive it is and lack of school/life/work balance.
Otis is a great environment for creatives of all kinds! Unlike the other institutions I’ve been to, Otis really cares about staying true to your identity. That was a welcome surprise, and something I feel grateful for finding.
I came here after attending a community college. The difference is amazing! The amount of individual attention is really nice. The subject matter in my classes is important to my degree. Campus activities and guest speakers are geared to help you in your creative pursuits.
