Philadelphia, PA
The University of the Arts

It is a good school. The environment is okay. Most people here are friendly. Sometimes it can be difficult to get to know people because the school does not have many social events. It's kind of weird because we are a University so I definitely expected there to be more social events. Otherwise, the school is okay. It is not a bad school, but there's room for improvement.

My overall opinion of The University of the Arts (UARTS) is a dream to attend this school for vocal performance. The departments are wonderful and the ensembles, recitals and concerts are excellent to go to if you are a music fanatic. The teachers are always there if you need help with an assignment or something personal. They do not judge, but they do want to see their students succeed in the future. The classes are great and fun. I would recommend anyone to enroll in this institution.

The teachers are wonderful, but the housing accommodations needs major improvement. We lack air conditioning during the summer sometimes and heat in the winter. The buildings are so old and we pay entirely much for these school. The school is focus on teaching you amazing dance and other skills . But the living conditions are overrated.

Overall, I did learn a lot here that I am surprisingly using in my post-grad daily life (Even in jobs that aren't in my field). I did not like the political-ness of the school. Some of the teachers were really cool and helpful others adopted favorites within their major. Then, there is a lack of resources considering the amount we pay in tuition. Most of the students here are terrible people, pretentious, and sociopathic bullies. Myself and a few of my friends got bullied really badly by other students for no reason. Even to the point where a couple of us needed time off from the University.

University of The Arts is a school filled with unsurmountable amounts of student potential and talent. Students are always using the resources given to collaborate and create amazing art to give to the community. Teachers are very passionate about their work but there is a definitely a lack of ethnic representation at the school, specifically African American representation in the staff. We pay an extreme amount of money to go here but I often wonder where the money is going due to the poor conditions of some of our buildings and our dining hall especially. If a little more care and effort was put in to catering towards the students wants and needs and actually listening to our opinion, UArts would be an unstoppable school.

Very Awesome. Phenomenal University.

The music school just now put all its funding into establishing new, state of the art resources and is currently in the process of ironing out and adjusting to all the new equipment and getting the right faculty so it'll take a handful of more years for them to really get their feet set in place.

I absolutely love the atmosphere, creativity and freedom. The curriculum is extremely art based no matter the major. Every class you take here is beneficial and will help you craft your profession. It's a family environment. Professors are more like your mentors versus your educators. Friendly student bodies, a ton of activities and events on campus. Guest speakers, performances etc.

UArts is a great school, but I wish they had more funding. Due to our small size we are always in smaller classes which I love. They are very helpful from an administrative side as well. The teachers are passionate and considerate. They really want you to be as excited as they are and most of the time, we are!

I absolutely adore this school, and feel like I'm getting the best education I can be for my major, which is actually Costume Design. It's right in the middle of center city philadelphia, so it's the prime location within the city. There's a lot of outside connections that the school has available. It's always working to get better, as well.
