| Is MICA just considered "not well known" because it wasn't a punchline in a bad movie? I mean, seriously. MICA is very well known. Anyone worth their name in the art world knows what MICA is.
If you're more concerned with fame and reputation than you are with actual art making, then maybe you should go to RISD. MICA is more concerned with it's students and it's programs and chooses to spend money there, rather than in extensive marketing campaigns.
And seriously, from my experience, MICA is not laid back. This school has made the past four years at an intensely competitive progressive "every class we offer is AP level" school look like CAKE. I don't really want to get into it but my friends at RISD actually party way more than we do here.
I really don't like to get defensive but I can't help it when I read blatant misconceptions about a school that is anything but laid back and unknown. Do more research. Be more informed. |
