I transferred to Moore after going to a large school and two community colleges. It was such a nice small community atmosphere. The graphic design program is excellent, with really supportive, knowledgeable professors. They also offer scholarships and competitive fellowships. If you're a woman looking for a school with a long history of supporting female (and I believe anyone who identifies as female) artists, look no further.
They are now under investigation by Ombudsman for fraudulent behavior. Save your money , they are not trust worthy, prejudice as well. Girls would write the N word on walls not once but twice and other racial remarks. I now have an professor at my new college who's an alumni and said that the school was suspicious when they attended.
Moore is really an amazing place to go to college, the small art school atmosphere really allows you to learn in depth about your major and anything else you might be interested in. All the professors I've had are very knowledgeable in their fields and I doubt I'd be able to learn as much as I have in my two years here than anywhere else
Amazing experiences in and out of the classroom. Fosters a great sense of community among peers as well as students and faculty. The professors are awesome and they are considerate of their students and structure their classes in a way that makes the learning process more intriguing.
The staff seemed undertrained for some of the more academic courses. Financial aid didn t seem to care about helping me attend this school. The atmosphere was very hateful and the residential life didn t take complaints seriously.
I lasted a month and after severe bullying and threats from my roommate AND her parents of police reports for stealing her belongings (without any proof as I also had stuff go missing) and putting cameras up in my dorm room, I took it to res life and they told me to find people to switch rooms with (no other help). Note that I had concrete evidence of the cameras and asked to be moved immediately due to extreme discomfort and they STILL didn t even try to connect me with people who had extra space. I ended up withdrawing after a month of school and I was $700 in debt from just buying supplies for classes (the $50 cap for foundations is bs) and my parents owed $10,000. This was all for ONE MONTH of school. I would highly suggest anything other than this school.
It is a lovely very exclusive school. Very friendly and welcoming. At the moment moore is doing mixed learning so only studio classes are on campus and everyone is conducting good social distancing in and out of the classroom. I was very happy to be back and see my friends again finally.
This school is HORRIBLE! Do NOT come here! I had SO many issues during my one and (thankfully) only semester there. If you want proper financial aid, you have to hassle them to give it to you, otherwise they just push loans. Also, if you submit a financial aid re-evalutation, you need to keep contacting them to make sure they ACTUALLY DO IT! I didn't do this and I didn't find out if they were going to give me enough money until the day before payments were due because they forgot about it. They also don't care for the dorms properly. The paint job is horrible for an art school and I didn't have a properly working shower for half the semester. They only fixed it because I pointed out my suitemate had a mold allergy and could DIE if they didn't fix it. The girls at this school are also incredibly nasty and radical. I got harassed for having a boyfriend and not being LGBT! If you're not LGBT, you're going to struggle to fit in. The school is just incredibly irresponsible. I'm still having issues with them even after I dropped out. For example, I never got my 1098-T form and I got an email that I wasn't the only one with this issue. Apparently some students were receiving other student's forms, WHICH CONTAIN SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION! Also, they charge way more than just tuition. On top of the $400 for the art kit, professors can make you spend up to $50 in additional supplies in foundation classes and all other classes have NO CAPS!!!! I could go on and on about why you want to avoid this college, but please just AVOID THIS SCHOOL!!
I am currently enrolled at Moore and I am majoring in Fashion Design and minoring in Business and Textiles. Moore has challenged me to become a better version of myself, as an artist and designer. I've received various opportunities to showcase my abilities and my work thanks to Moore and the opportunities they offer, and I will forever be thankful. Moore's numerous resources and it's passionate group of professors who are current designers and working artists will go beyond normal measures to help you succeed. Though the courses and workload can be vigorous I am more than grateful that everything I've learned in and outside the classroom has helped shape me into the designer I am today. There has only been growth for me there past four year and Moore is one of the best decisions I've made for my design career!
This school helped me get a job even before a graduated. Great Interior Design program, I got exposure and worked for a few firms during my time here as well as visiting big names. Professors are great and take the time to help you even if you are not currently in one of their classes.
I value the close knit community the most, as each professor views you as an intellectual in your field rather than a number in a lecture hall. You are being taught by working professionals so you automatically have connections to the field and people to fall back on years after you graduate from Moore. I highly recommend for anybody who wishes to pursue art as a serious career.
