College devoted to the arts- and the general study of subjects such as fine art, graphic design, illustration, textiles, 3d/games design, philosophy, music etcetera. Art college is a surreal haven for artistically diverse folk, recreational drug users and enthusiasts, spontaneous philosophical discussion during lectures, and those wishing to escape the task of repeating what is esentially another two years of high school condensed into a standard college semester. Art college is unique- nothing more, nothing less. There is nothing more commonplace at an art college than to be unique or different, and there is a decreased tendency to discriminate against diverse or eccentric students, as most possess a creative streak of artistically inclined traits or attributes. Those who don't, will sure enough have some by the time they leave. Because of their nature art colleges have a high leniancy and acceptance towards creativity, artistic pursuits, and not to forget- the drugs. A good majority, if not a vast majority of all art students have tried a recreational substance (me included :), mainly those of the hallucinogen/psychedelic category. Although this is not always the case, drug use or enthusiasm is fairly commonplace at art college, if not a potential rite of passage. Saying this however- not everyone have taken substances. There are those who do, have done, aspire to, or simply haven't. The bottom line is, expect someone you meet there to have done something (lord knows I have :P).
Those who enter art college usually leave with an increased passion for artistic pursuits or careers, awareness of the finer things in life, and generally value the time they studied there. The best darn college there is- no contest :)

If you ever need an excuse to- consume copius amounts of recreational drugs :), pursue a more interesting and artistic career direction, or simply meet loads of great people who won't chastise you for being different... then go to art college- you wont regret it ;)

Get the Art Center College of Design mug.An art college located in Sarasota, FL. They offer the highest quality art and design education and degree. Other majors include "Business of Art and Design", "Digital Film" and "Motion Design" (but noone knows wtf that is). Student population is approximately 75% self-proclaimed artist stereotypes 15% asians who are waaay too talented 10% rich kids who thought they were going to have it easy studying art with Mom and Dads money (but then get upset when they realize they get nailed from studio classes) 80% genuine young artist who want to get a degree in something they love 5% Guys who wear very tight pants
Other than that, everyone is up to their nose in debt and the students deal with mood swings and laugh attacks due to excessive sleep depravation. Every teacher believes his/her class is a priority. Everyone knows everyone. And you NEVER walk down MLK alone.
It one of the top 5 art colleges in the nation and world-wide.

Get the Ringling College of Art and Design mug.One of the nation's oldest art institutions,located in Boston, MA.
Massachusetts College of Art, or "MassArt", is surrounded by a number of other colleges and scary homeless men who wander in and out of Mission Hill.
Common activities include:
Wondering when the Wentworth Bros are going to stop going to the gym, playing xbox, or wearing polos. Bragging over the fact that your dorm includes three bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, living room and enough food to last you for days- unless you live in smith and actually leave your dorm to visit the outside world. Sleeping through Introduction to Western Art History lectures until the sound of a jim bean bottle clashing on the cement floor and the teacher screaming obscenities about sexual conquests wakes you up. Knowing that you can get from one end of campus to the other without going outside. Seeing the entire school burn things at the annual "Iron Pour". Getting pissed at your friends at regular universities because they complain about their two hours classes- in comparison to your six hour studios.
How to spot someone who attends MassArt:
A Massarter will ussually be spotted anytime between 11am and 3 am wondering the streets in there skinny jeans, Dr.Marten books while holding a cigarette in one hand and a coffee cup in the other. Other qualities include: thick rimmed classes,wearing tights as pants or having one or more parts of their hair shaved, died or dreaded.

Get the Massachusetts College of Art and Design mug.Used to be Corcoran School of Art when I went there, a 4-year bachelor's degree and certificate offering school, teaching fine arts, photography, and graphics. A definite party school, even though a very small school, where students smoke pot on the fire escape, use hallucinogens, and drink Natty Bo. A lot of the teachers are ex-hippie types, but they are actually very good artists, and you can get a great education if you are motivated to do so. Now has expanded to offer Master's degrees and programs in various arts areas not mentioned previously. Located in Northwest DC near the White House (considered the best, safest quadrant of DC).
I was constantly high when I went to classes at the Corcoran College of Art and Design, but my teachers and classes were so good, I actually became a good artist.
