Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design

DO NOT GO HERE! Complete waste of time and money. I attended rmcad for one year before realizing it was a scam.

I thought Id leave a review as a currently attending student (2024) Ive been attending for about a year+ now and the more you continue on the more my peers drop out around me out of frustration. All of the bad reviews are based in truth, but I feel like it also depends on your degree. As an illustrative design student I feel like Im learning and my teachers are engaged. Animation is a COMPLETELY different story, do not go to this school for that. All of my friends in that department have left. Negatives: they dont spend your tuition money effectively administration is really hard to deal with sometimes and you dont get to pick your classes their strict attendance policy can be really difficult to work around and they give little leeway to help you. If you miss more than 2-3 classes then its 10% off your grade they put you in online classes even as an on-ground student the graphic design classes are great everyone is too nice and its hard to improve because you can get away with mediocre and subpar work and get the same grade as trying. It feels like a sheltered environment where they let anyone graduate They havent put much work into making some buildings accessible, if you have a wheelchair or mobility aids I feel it is harder to get around especially into the main entrances Positives: I LOVE my professors The students are super kind and its a great environment for queer people The tools you have access to are awesome and theres tech bar to help you out Theres a cafe in the basement that is super convenient I feel safe physically there Campus is beautiful and the buildings are pretty nice youre connected to the Denver art scene through a lot of the teachers teachers are willing to work with you and help you out smaller class sizes and more one on one time if thats what youre looking for. Overall this school really isnt the worst and theres a reason Im still attending but it definitely does not work out for everyone.
