It's beautiful, being a part of a school that really cares about their students culture and helping to life people up. I've learned so much artistically but also leadership wise. I've grown as a person and I keep growing everyday I go. Teachers are hoping and helping me achieve my best self.

UAA was the school I needed while I was attending there. I was encouraged to believe in my ideas and build opportunities for myself, and I'm proud to have gone here. Though, it still has a lot of room to grow. I think that opportunities are lost because the faculty and staff refuse to participate in "typical" things that other school do because they're above that. The inclusivity was top-notch while I was there, but I've heard it's gone down hill. Overall, grateful.

It's a great arts school. I do believe it struggles with choosing the same people for the same opportunities however it just means you have to work harder.

better than it looks.I've had problems with depression and anxiety before and it wasn't as much of a problem until I went to this school. The students bring you down, rather than lift each other up.Some of the teachers are really great and interact with the students to help them grow, but the others...

If you want to never make art again in your life, go to school here! Make sure you're rich enough to afford both the therapy you will need from the trauma grown adults will give you and to afford to buy all the art supplies to make free promotion for the school, though!

Recently the school tested highest in the county on ACT testing. Academics and arts are equally important and nurtured
