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!
The faculty overall is pretty great and the variety people you meet are fantastic!
Being in center city philly provides easy access to a lot of parks, shops, and cafes to explore. The trouble comes with the facilities...The dorms are poorly maintained and it's difficult for a request to actually be properly taken care of. The food is also not great but that can be said about most dining halls...At least there are options for dietary restrictions as well as vegetarian and vegan.

I really liked the university of the arts. I'm an illustration major and I really felt challenged in my classes and like I was learning something new every day. Lots of opportunities to have work in galleries or earn money for scholarships or yourself. Teachers will go harder on you if they expect a lot from you. I made some work that was adored by others in my class that I got lower grades on and I fought for reassessment to no avail. Besides that one teacher, my freshman year has been awesome!
