Classes are usually small. None of the classrooms have standard desks and standard instructors. Each class is different and run at the discretion of the professor. There is an open exchange of ideology in the classrooms, as well as open discussions about each individual students art works.

Eryca

Artistic and driven, but sometimes rude and self centered.

Lyra

My classmates are incredibly diverse in their histories, interests, work ethics, and personalities, but they all have in common an interest in alternative media and lifestyles. They are creative and mostly kind. Going to school here makes you really good at art, bullshitting, or both, and the people who go here reflect that.

Cassidy

Well-intentioned & interesting folks with high ideas and creative insight.

Usually people in my school were very keen on the latest fashion trends and sub-culture following; they are easily tagged as "hipsters" who most likely own one-speed bikes, sun glasses from the 80s, iPods, and a purposful messy haircut

Rebecca

Most people who attend our school are interesting and intelligent, but there can be a certain discord with reality.

Minami

Socially awkward artists that would not fit in in a regular university.
