Art and design high school

high school in Manhattan full of stoned art freaks. a&d really stands for anxiety and drugs.

Ringling College of Art and Design 

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.
I go to Ringling College of Art and Design and never sleep more than 4 hours a day.

Massachusetts College of Art and Design 

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.

Corcoran College of Art and Design 

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.
