Onestar Press & CalArts Design Program Review

Umm u thought hey why not? U wanted to draw cartiins when I grew up and I really love gravity falls and star vs the forces of evil. Abd u looked to this place so I can do there in I don't know 6 ir 7 years. Look out for me cal arts I'm coming!

Hey, does anyone know how much the semester costs? Thank you

Hey, somebody knows what is the price of the semester? Thanks

I would like to be there Because then I study my idol chuck jones

This is definitely the collage i plan to go to when I get older.

This is my dream college and one day, I m gonna go to Calarts to become an Actor and singer/songwriter

I am in grammar school still but i am drawn to this school i cant wait to try and get in after the research i think im gonna come out as an amazing person.

One of the prospective Calarts student here. Which one do I have to believe tho? Like I can see some of ppl who suffered from various situation of sexuality, budget, and else. Is it safe to attend for? And do you guys copy students' idea huh?

The YouTube video, Diamond Jack, is simply the best 3 minutes on Earth! The animator carefully planned all of it out. I watched it over and over again. It takes the word boredom and throws it out the window. The plot is swift and fast with its twists and turns as it keeps you glued to the screen to see what happens next.. The characters are one of a kind and likable in many ways like a normal person is. The animation is unique, the line art is choppy yet beautiful. The music s sound and lyrics match what s going on and the tone of the setting and atmosphere. If you re a young animator, watch this video and take notes.

My friend's daughter is beautiful, brilliant and talented and studied Experimental Animation there and she was bullied, sexually harassed and robbed by jealous untalented, dumb, copy cat students who had no decent ideas of their own and the faculty didn't appreciate her or care if she was alive or dead and looked the other way because she was poor. Some of the faculty was racist and jealous of her and gave her unjustified low passes.
People are raped and it is always ignored, the statistics are terrifying. They will call you crazy and a liar even if you have solid evidence.
They promised her additional financial aid and higher year placement but didn't give her it and instead left her without enough financial aid to graduate.
Don't buy into the lies and promises, they only care about money and many of the students are racist and terrible(look it up). It honestly has the Worst crime, rape and has the worst hate crime rate in the United states. Look it up! Type in another school vs. CalArts on google and look at the statistics!!!!Go to Risd or Art center where people aren't constantly raped and sexually harassed!! Please don't let your kids go here, look at the facts not the smoke this evil place is blowing to get $46,000 per year!!! Don't let your family or friends go here!

Looking at coming here to get a M.F.A. in experimental animation.

Too much cigarette and weed smoke. Sure the school is fine though.

Suck my balls, i learned more in the guatemala arts school

This place is Amazing, Im always seeying pics and posts of people that study there, My dream is Travel and study in that beatiful place, I read a lot of people who have the same dream as me, create a animated serie , I cant study there, but I can still dreaming. Love from Ecuador

Cal Arts is a top Art, Performance Art, Design, and Film college. Tim Burton is an alum! Perfect balance of the pragmatic and the insane! For film it represents the future of moving art better than virtually any other school. Animation and CGI? Built by Walt and Roy Disney. Amazing location! Just moved my son in and the diversity in spite of he cost is striking. The Dean of Students told me that the 4 year graduation rate is average for art schools but is under 50%. On the other hand most of the drop outs leave because they can get a great job and really don't need the cost or accolade of a BFA... Do you know what degree Brad Pitt or Quentin Tarantino have?
The suggestion that is left leaning is really what you want to be concerned about at an art school! Not! Anyway hard to find thoughtful liberal arts schools that don't subscribe to global warming and evolution.

Best Art institute in experimental and conceptual field.

Joy Koah is truly an amazing person very nice and always professional gotta love her..

I heard the school is amazing....but its freaking expensive!!!! 45 000$/ year for an American citizen!! I'm a Canadian citizen so it's even more expensive for foreigners!!!!

Sometime When I grow Up I Want To Be Cartoon Animation Just Like Craig McCracken!! That why i love to go there.

"Nepotistic and Self-serving"

The MFA Writing program is a cash cow for the institute and most students are poorly served, especially those who don't follow the faculty's personal interests. The faculty are old and irrelevant, and many use their power to promote their friends' books and their own ends. Some instructors seem burnt out because they have taught the same fringe classes for decades. Some instructors are shameless in having favorites. I found myself in the middle of abusive social games that left me feeling shamed and unsupported.

The program attracts some talent...and a lot of smug narcissistic overgrown scenester pseudo-intellectuals trying to use the school's name to climb the ranks to hipster stardom. The CalArts "experimental writing" Kool Aid is passed around liberally, swaying the most impressionable people. Many people in my cohort had deep personal issues and/or were poorly suited for graduate level classes. I don't know who chooses these students. In many workshops, the conversation revolved around subjective feelings, personal grievances, traumas and self-discovery. Faculty were willing to indulge this behavior because they think writing is over and all that remains is self-help. The radical chic politics and theory are superficial at best. I learned more as an undergrad, and regret the high tuition and opportunity costs.

Forever grateful for my education here! Glad to be a part of it. Changed my life for the better.

I am mostly upset because when I went to tour this school, they wouldn't show me the library. I literally flew from Texas all the way to California just to see the library because I just have so many questions. They have tree growing in their library? Which is pretty cool, but I have so many questions. How does the tree grow to be so full and healthy without sunlight? Is it a real tree? Or is it just an art project? So many questions, and all they did was show me a 20 minute film of a waterfall with a voice over of a man talking about cannibalism. So disappointed...

Looked at this for a school project, and I don't think it could get better.

She is very pretty and I would like to study and I am from Argentina

hi thanks for makeing disney a113

This is a great place to learn about animation and animating in general and that why it is this good 1000000/10

I would like to study there to do my television series and that from Alaska to New Zealand everyone will see it

I literally love this school,i wanna to study in my future maybe it is 5 years but whatever i hope i won't change my mind i really want it

CalArts has been an amazing journey from Day 1. My daughter is in her 3rd year now. Besides fine tuning her Dance and getting a phenomenal education, CalArts has opened her eyes to the world around her. She has become even more wise and mature beyond her years. Every student there is there not for the grade, but because of their passion for their craft. When you put that many students who are fiercely dedicated in one place, Magic is bound to happen. This is not a school for everyone, but for those who live and breathe their art, CalArts is the place to be.

i was watching the pixar story, and was like, WOW! this is what i want to do for college. i'm a young artist, and would love to study here, and looks just incredible! art is my biggest passion, and i cant wait to try out when i'm old enough!

I just want to visit this place only for the A113 Room.

I also want to be a cartoon animater like crag mccaigin I am leaning how to animate now but I want to go to this college, sadly I live all the way across the country...

I would like to study there, since I want to create my television series and improve my character a lot. "Sigh" Dreams are never fulfilled. :(

I've been told to make Calarts one of my suggestions to go study. It seems amazing and I hope to go there someday when I graduate. I actually want to be an illustrator someday and maybe work for Disney! But my teacher recommended another college here in Texas so we'll see. I'll just keep working at it

Very good school, hard to get around with out a car in Santa Clarita.

My son comes here and always speaks highly of the teachers

This is a great place to study film, music, and animation! Especially if you'd like to work for Disney one day.

I would love to study because many of the pixar team like John Lasseter or pete doctor studied there but I don't know how it will be due to high Oscars I think it's good

This college looks so amazing I'm hoping that later on I will be able to go to this college and start my acting career this college looks like a great start

I heard Great things about the school, thinking about going to this campus next year.

My expirience was horrible because i didnt learn nathing in that college i just spennd money in that college but now im studin in HARVARD!!!!!! yeah.!

what a trip. do not go here if you value any kind of boundaries in society. a learning experience truly, but it was torturous for only the few hours spent there.
