The professors and student body at University of the Arts are absolutely wonderful. I graduated from the animation program, and over my four years attending UArts, I learned so many invaluable things about my craft.
UArts is in center city, directly on Broad Street, so there is a lot to do nearby, and the area is pretty safe.
However, the administration at UArts is a mess. I had many frustrating experiences just trying to get basic information or documents, with emails oftentimes going unanswered for weeks.
The staff is also not paid nearly enough for all they do, which has consistently served as an upset for myself and the rest of the student body.
My experience, I would say, was positive, but there are areas of the school that require significant work and refinement.

I attended my Freshman year of Uarts virtually due to Covid, but I had a very pleasing experience with every professor I was assigned to. I am a Fine Arts Painting major, but I have been able to explore varieties of materials and processes thanks to the guidance Uarts has given me. I feel I have an open mind of creativity everytime I walk into class because the professor are open to hear everyone's mindset. University of the Arts has given me a great first impression in being a college student and an artist, at the same timel
The University of the Arts is a diverse school full of talented and passionate artists. What is great about this school is that the students love to share their arts, as well as work with other students to create meaningful art with a message to express their views and thoughts on how to create a safer and welcoming environment to those who have been neglected or shamed for who they are growing up. Overall, an amazing school with great programs and teachers. The only reason that it is not a 5-star rating is that I would like to push the dining hall for healthier food choices! Beyond grateful for the cafeteria staff and for all the hard work they put in every day to keep the students going!
