The university of the arts Reviews

My niece is currently attending this spectacular school. I'm wishing her all the best. Good Luck and I love you so much.

If you want one of the top schools anywhere for visual and performing arts , UofA is the place to apply. Not your traditional campus. The buildings are located within a two block area on Broad st. in downtown Philly. There admissions requirements are exacting but if you can get in, and if you're a city person, this is the place.

I am so eager to apply for this school, this school is my first choice out of all my options, I really hope I get accepted into this amazing school. I've heard so many great things about the University, seen many videos online regarding this school, and watched many films that the students in the film department have created and I'm so astound by the work I've seen from some notable alumni. I'm currently a senior in high school right now and I'm hoping to major in film making at this school. This would honestly be my dream. Does anyone know exactly what will guarantee my acceptance into this school. I'll honestly do whatever means possible to ensure myself getting accepted into this amazing University.

The masters programs here are fantastic teachers are able to one with you, because the classes are small. It's exactly the kind of attention one needs in grad program.

I graduated in 2008 in the Performing Arts Schools with a BA in Acting. I met some wonderful people. I studied under knowledgeable and inspiring professors. but this place ain't worth the cost!

If you want bitter teachers, stuck up queens, and all the lack luster of Philly.. go ahead

Before applying, enrolling and beginning to run up huge debt, research the possibilities for employment after. ALL creative arts have been suffering huge declines in employment opportunities, not just in Philadelphia, but country and worldwide. Way too many wannabe artists and huge ever increasing declines in all over opportunities. I am an Alumna who has managed a successful free lance career mostly in Publishing and Advertising for decades, two formerly important emplyers, but no longer. I Full time instructors usually have little or no experience in real world employment, so thy need your tuition to pay THEIR salaries.
Buyer beware...or pay heavily after graduating into the REAL world.
Do the research!!

i love the crafts program so much the hands on teaching style is a once in a lifetime experience. however, the school is very top-heavy in administration, making it extremely costly. not worth the money if you're not bourgeoise.

This is my daughters first year at UArts as a transfer student. I have had nothing but a welcoming, pleasant and knowledgeable staff to help me with this transition. It is her first year away from home and I was very concerned for her safety and well being. I visited Philly over the summer to check out the area. I instantly fell in love. The city is amazing and full of culture. I am more than comfortable with my daughter attending UArts. Amazing staff and students. I'm looking forward to her having a great year!! I want to thank the staff for answering all my questions and giving me peace of mind.

CLASS OF 1988. FIRST CLASS! (With new Name). I loved this place-still do I miss it at times. I always tell people it was like FAME the movie at times. I don't know how it is now but it was amazing when I went.
