I've been accepted to both for the Fall 2008 term.
Here's what I've heard about each school, please dispel any myths %26amp; confirm any facts:
PARSONS
The dorms are terrible, Loeb is the worst, 13th st is bad but better than the rest
The school focuses less on ART and more on being successful from a business standpoint
Not a lot of financial aid
Good liberal arts classes
Most complaints seem to come from students in their foundation year
MICA
Lots of drama/ Very clique-ish
Competition between students is high
Academics/Liberal Arts classes are poor %26amp; dumbed down
Not enough career prep
Poor photo facilities (especially dark rooms)
Any first hand experiences would be appreciated, especially from photography majors or students who are in their jr/sr year or have already graduated.
Which art college is better for a photography major; Parsons or MICA?
Parson's is international known, MICA isn't.
But, unless you have a full ride or your parents can pay it all, you will be taking on a lot of debt to go there. MICA might be a better choice, less debt = more freedom when you graduate.
