| christi - if you can't get into any of the other programs you are considering I would highly recommend UArts. My daughter went the summer before her senior year and really had a good experience. It's right in Center City Philadelphia so you can walk anywhere for shopping, eating, art stores, etc. It gives you a good perspective of what long studio art classes are like and you get to choose the four classes you take. Some may already be filled but my D signed up late and still got good classes. She came out with several good pieces to use in her portfolio. I felt it was very well organized and they had many events planned for the weekends for the students who may not have had the option of going home.
As far as expenses, you will need to buy art supplies and the typical items required for living in an apartment. You will have 1-3 roommates so you can share these expenses. They offer somewhat of a limited meal plan which can be put on a credit card but my daughter chose to buy her own groceries and cook her meals since they had a full kitchen. The girls also went out to eat which can get expensive.
You are probably getting close to the deadline for registering but should check with the school. |
