Art Center College of Design

1700 Lida St

Pasadena, CA 91103

(626) 396-2200

Art Centre is a very tough art college, it lives up to its reputation and is extremely challenging. It will set you back about $16,000 per term but tremendously rewarding.
Graduating Senior Art Shows are held at the end of every term, students work are put on display, and is open to the public. It is for the determined and the ambitious; it opens doors into an otherwise competitive and demanding industry that pays very well. The college is full of inspiration and is an eye opener, it really changes the way your mind works – the education provided is undeniably the very best. Scholarships are limited.

First of all Barack Obama studied here for 2 years before transferring to Columbia. It is quite small as compared to the average college but the campus is beautiful, very scenic and peaceful, so to say, it is suitable for hikes and many film shots have been taken here. The professors are of a kind who really care about the students, and put in a great deal of time and effort. Oxy is a certain gateway into top universities.

Costs are supposed to be quite high.
