What I loved about Otis College is the progress I've seen in my artwork, The professors care and want to help their students to reach success. But only if the students themselves shows determination, desire and progress to work and face challenges. The professors will not waste, time and critiques on students who do not show initiative. At this school, if you want to reach your goals you must have the will to do what it takes.
At Otis college, the professors either are or were in the art industry and share their experiences and advice with us, the students. This means we get taught, advised and given assignments as if were already working in the industry.
If you did not know the basics of color theory or anatomy, Otis college will prepare you for. Otis college is one of the very few colleges who have a Foundation Program where first time students will learn the basics they need to advance their skills in the long run while also showing students what Otis College has to offer.

As someone who is looking for a rigorous school , Otis College of Art and Design was a great pick. As a college freshman at Otis, the Foundation year has roved extremely helpful in refining my skills and easing me into the workload and high expectations. The schools' small and compact campus gives this very unified and focused environment that differs strongly from other schools with larger campuses and enormous enrollment rates. Furthermore, Otis has extraordinarily talented professors with years of professional experience within their area of skill.
Well, I'm still not a student there, but the school is stunning. I visited the school for an open house, where I learned that the school is very invested in helping and seeing their alumnus succeed. They have very cool art programs that help students discover their artistic abilities. The only thing I wish Otis would change, was it's expensive tuition.
