TriC? Anyone ever attend?

[DanialGlover]

Right, I'm trying to find a decent community college to go to for like 2 years before I attend a full art college. So I'm asking has anyone ever attended Tri-C(Cuyahoga Community College) for art? I've looked everywhere, but can't find any reviews as to how good the art program is.. So if anyone has any experience there, that'd be great.

I live across the street from TriC haha. I had a friend who took some art classes there and she said that she was the best artist in her class. Everyone was just trying to knock out "requirements" and the class was way easy. She said it was like high school art class plus figure drawing.

I'm sure if you just want to learn the very basics, TriC will do just fine. The more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it. :)

I remember them coming and giving presentations in my high school art class. I was never really that impressed. Go to Akron U before you go to TriC.

Do you have any information about Akron U, like actual experience going there?
I'm new to college and all..so I have no idea how to do any of this stuff, thats why I was just looking for a community college to just take classes without worrying about a degree to just get credits instead. I've been holding off college for at least 2 years just cause I'm too scared to "jump" right in and end up at a place I'll regret being at.

At first I'd thought I would go to CCAD but then realized there was no way I could get in, and even if I would get in I would be to embarrassed on how much talent I lack.

I took a drawing class at Akron U during my senior year in high school as a Post Secondary student. It was all right. Just a basic drawing class. :) Some of the student work coming out of there isn't half bad, though. If you have a chance, walk around to see the work that's hanging on the walls in the art building. There is a bit of "fine art snobbery" there, but I think that they will teach you how to draw/paint if you let them.

CCAD might not be as hard to get into as you think. I went to PreCollege there, and liked the environment. You should go ahead and try just to see what happens! :)

I haven't heard of anyone who didn't get into ccad :) schools look more at your potential instead of how you compare to other applicants.
