  1. I went to Lesley for undergrad! The new facilities are beautiful.
  2. I know someone. Do you have instagram? I can send you info there
  3. Are folks still getting interviews? I'm waiting to hear on one school, but feel like I may just take the plunge and accept the offer I have!
  4. Yeah I feel like I am sort of in this place and not wanting to drag it out too long... I let them know I will reach out with my decision as soon as possible, but also curious what people think a good personal deadline to wait til is if you havent heard from a school yet?
  5. Alright, question time y'all. At this point, how likely is it to hear from a school if you haven't gotten interviewed? And secondly, how long can you wait to give a school a decision? I'm holding out hope on one other school I applied to.
  6. amazing! Yeah you'll prob here after those meetings! good luck!
  7. I got a call first, and after we spoke I got the email. Where you in the facilities meeting on zoom this past week??
  8. When did you hear about waitlist? I got a cryptic email from them saying that basically all hope is not lost, and they are waiting on funding after sending out the first round of acceptances before they reach out to more folks. I applied for painting. But i do already have an offer and if the waiting goes into the summer.... how do you decide!?
  9. Yes, I got in! I heard this weekend.
  10. Who said coffee? Who said amenities? You're not making proper connections if your professors dont care about you.
  11. I unfortunately dont know much about parsons. Anyone else? In regards to NYC I've heard most great things about state/city schools
  12. I'm sorry but the cost of tuition there SHOULD get you nice studios, facilities etc and more than the ability to make art while homeless. I mean, really. Thats a very fantastical way to think about education, but the reality is if you're paying for school you are hoping to get useful tools and connections out of that, not just some external "hustle." School is part of that network building. If you are paying as much as you are for SVA the professors should be enthusiastic and generous.
  13. Not necessarily an opinion, just what I have heard from folks who attended! I am sure not everyone there is from a wealthy background, but many international students dont qualify for aid so they have to pay out of pocket.
  14. Hmm... from my understanding, it was that they have a lot of big name professors who don't really care about teaching. So you have access to big names, but they are not dedicated to you. And that every little thing is an extra charge, and what you get for your money is not a lot. I don't personally know what the studios look like and my partner was in illustration, but his studio was a cubicle. Now, you only really need a cubicle for illustration maybe but.. thats in comparison to my experience where illustration got studios same size as fine arts students, and they were all large. I also had a friend do a residency there with the same complaints - fancy professors who were never around or willing to help, meh access to facilities, a huge fee, etc etc. None of the professors from that program were even willing to write her a recommendation. SO you're paying for access, to be in NY, to be around the professors, but not necessarily for rigor or building a long lasting community.
