    The school is what you make it out to be. Columbus College of Art & Design provides you with plenty of opportunities for extracurricular, clubs, and of course completing your schoolwork. If you sit around and don't move outside of your comfort zone by learning new art techniques by talking to fellow students or professors, you won't have a very good time at this school.

  • Oct-06-2011 I am researching this school and have visited the campus

    I love the fact that this school is in the middle of downtown Columbus and I really like that most of their buildings are old buildings that have been repurposed. It gives it a nice flare. On the other hand, it is a small school with not much but arts as oppose to going to a university where you can mingle with other type of students. Still debating on this one. Although, I did enjoy a lot my admissions counselor who talked to me for about an hour and I left there wanting to join the school right away. Pretty amazing convincing lines he had. You can tell they care about you!

    I love this school. The students, faculty, and artist are all inspirational and all so very kind. The atmosphere of this school is supportive and they want to make sure you are having the best experience you can at the school.
