Very comfortable and inviting, nice river walk behind the school. Dorms directly across from the school. Blick art store right in front of the dorms. Easy parking around the street. Close the food options.
This is an incredibly strong school of Industrial, Communication, and Interior & Architectural Design. You will leave these programs of study ready to get an awesome job and represent yourself well.
Do not go here for anything with "studio practice" in the title. The arts program was recently assimilated into an all-in-one interdisciplinary curriculum and it is awful, specialties and focuses have been removed, and some of the staff are absolutely unprofessional jokes. Go to MIAD for design, for art, go anywhere else.
It's a great school for students but not for future students. I'm not sure I'll ever go there. I'm not the first to mention this but if accepting new incomers or visitors was an issue why have tours? It's not welcoming. Have a welcoming team for different kinds of people. I didn't see that. I'm disappointed. It's not what I expected. Who in their right mind has the kind of funds and experience? From my young generation it's quite troubling being the fact no one in my generation can have the network of people of the past generations. You don't need to live on a stupid campus to go to the classes or have an expensive scholarship money.
This school is perfect for any artist. Remember they're not teaching how to draw and crap, you are an artist who applies with your portfolio, so if you get in you should already be a pretty well off artist. They gave me so much advice and I now know who I am as an artist. I did drop after the first year, not because it was bad but because of depression/anxiety and college was just no. I would probably wait a year after you graduate high school to rack some bucks and then go. It's great. Damn wish I could've stayed but yeah.
Went to the senior exhibition at MIAD, loved it. Such talented students!!
Daughter transferred in as a sophomore and is very happy with the move and transition to MIAD.
My daughter is a freshman starting this year,2018-2019. The freshman move in and parent /member meetings and picnic was the smoothest operation I have ever seen in my life!!!
My daughter is so excited about attending this school! Her mom and I are just excited as she is! We are so glad that we chose MIAD for our daughter to go here. Amazing is all I need to to describe this school. My daughter will succeed and make something of herself at, Milwaukee Institute of ART &Design!!!!Yaaaaay!!!!! Wow!!!!
I attended the pre-college program many years ago. The environment is one of a kind and the instructors are as well. I wish I had stayed and finished my degree but I transferred to a different school. My one year there as a freshman was memorable. The pre college program gave me a good idea of what to expect as a full time student. I would suggest anyone that wants to make a career using there gifts/talents to try the school out.
