The school itself is a piece of art!

I was deceived by counselors at the school, that my stuff was good and to spend money on their extension program to beef up my portfolio. They then boosted my ego by saying my portfolio was good and ready for review, even though they removed several pieces and instead left the extension program work, only for hopes to be dashed and told my stuff was narrow in scope.In hindsight, Im glad I didnt get in and spend a ton of money, racking up student debt for a job I would come to realize I didnt like. I was darn good at graphic design, I just didnt like doing it for others.The professors are good, and the campus is beautiful but my bank account is much prettier than those students that have gone here, drowning in debt. Right now, they would kill for the small amount of debt I have, part of it being a car payment.

Do not waist your time and your talent by this school if you are not a wealthy, rich Korean kid. This school doesnt care about you. After I found out that i couldnt pay for my classes one term, I had to drop all my classes with in the first week. Art center sent me a huge bill for one week of classes and refused to help me out with the payments. They also put a hold on my transcript, I cant go back to art center or in the matter of the fact any other schools until I finish paying for that week of classes. Thanks art center for making it impossible.

This is one of my favorite places in LA. they have a big art show every semester. it is awesome. i always try to make it with my art center friends. the students show off everything from short film to interactive displays. dj spinning cool tunes. appetizers flow free. one of the most stimulating nights your right brain can possibly have.

This school and its car design (transportation design) program is the reason I migrated to the U.S. It was in the mid 80s when I tried to study there, but after couple of semesters I had to drop out due to financial reasons.The best school in this country if you want to become a car designer - it was the best in the 80s and it still is. If you can afford it, there is no better school than this one when it comes to car design.

The new cafeteria server Stan is great!The quality of the food there went up since he came and he makes me smile every time. If Artcenter was not so far from where I live, I would go to the hill side campus just to eat. :)

Located high up in a beautiful campus, the Art Center College of Design has a deeply robust design program, its own design exhibition, and top notch students and professors. If youre interested in the college, I suggest heading up to the campus and checking out the student work in the exhibit!

A school which taught me how to be tough and smart in the real world through blood, sweat, and tears. Nevertheless I cannot thank enough to the best training I had through this education... The way how to open up our minds and look not only outside the box... But also through it. :)I am 2008 Fall Undergraduate of Transportation Design.

My first time at ACCD was Grad night with my friend who was a alumni and he wanted to show me the school. I was in awe and amazed with the program that I can see myself going there as well. I was so excited that everything that was displayed from Product Design to Photography to Illustration Design to Environmental Design to Automobile Design to Advertising, the list goes on!Ive never been to a graduation where I was super excited about seeing students that graduated with their accomplishments with their family near by to take pictures with them.I recently attended their open house to see what night classes I wanted to try since I want to explore my creative side and it was really interesting where all the students backgrounds were. I felt really motivated to try something different from my current career and realized Im not a lone. Theres a lot of other students trying out other career goals to see what other opportunities they have a passion for!The staff and advisors there were really welcoming and helpful. They were very clear and concise about the program and how it will change your life. Overall, a great school if you want to become a designer!

I would love to study transportation design here, but the website is confusing and not easily navigable. No base statistics for the percentage of students that are accepted, no specification for what design sense they are looking for, and not very clear on what if any benifits are offered for someone like me (a eagle scout with NLT training). But their prestige on the automotive world is legendary and it cant be overlooked

This is one of few places where the students really get to have up-to-date tools for their creativity. The only drawback is its very expensive!

Good school but avoid the professor Rey Bustos at ALL COSTS. He is a sexist, exhibits favoritism and his bad attitude has caused many students to become discouraged. He doesnt have the true interest of ArtCenter at heart. He is, in my opinion, unfit to be a teacher at this or any art school.

I graduated from ACCD with a major in Fine Arts/Painting. Attending this school was the best decision that I ever made. What I learned at ACCD informs and influences my current life and work every day. I loved every minute of ACCD (even my Perspective Drawing class) and I love the friends I made there.

Leading the market with well rounded, prepared designers to accomplish most any project that is handed to them. Come to Art Center expecting to change the way you think and the way you see.
