I LOVE UNCSA! Getting to work with some of the best teachers in the country and forming great relationships is part of what makes UNCSA so great. They truly care about your development and well being, and will do anything to help you accomplish your goals. Not to mention the equally talented students that are incredible to collaborate with. The academics are lower than the standards of most colleges, but then again it is an art school so you're there for a specific art.
While some people think going here lessens the typical college experience, I would actually disagree. We get free tickets to performances, movies, concerts, which all add culture and exposure. I have learned so much about other arts, which enrich my own performances and will help benefit my future career.

Good diversity, talented professors, helpful staff, good food, and okay location. The response to covid has been really good so far, I still have in-person academics and art classes, and the changes to the overall quality of daily life haven't been that drastic. This school will encourage you in whatever path you take, and the small campus allows for easy communication and attention from staff. However, because it is concentrated in the arts, if you're the type of person who wants a typical college experience, this might not be the place for you. If you care more about making connections and gaining the experience and education you need to build a career in your desired field, then this is the place for you.
During my time at UNCSA, I found the arts education exemplary. My technical training had me hired on a job literally the day after graduation, and during the time I worked in that field I had great success thanks to the training I got at UNCSA. The student lifestyle while I was there was pretty brutal, with morning academic classes, afternoon/evening arts classes, and weekends spent doing film projects. Academic classes in general, with some notable exceptions (there are a handful of incredible academic teachers there doing amazing work with exhausted arts students), were lackluster when compared to more general education schools, but UNCSA is an arts conservatory and excels at that.
