Some schools have you work with several teachers first year and then you choose. Oberlin, I believe, did that when we looked at it. Some do have you work with only one for 4 years. Good thing to ask about.

At the undergrad level I truly believe the most important thing is having a teacher (s) who let you develop your own “voice” and a good test of that is diversity in students’ work.
