I was constantly harassed and made to feel “less than” while attending this past school year because I was living “off grid” in my converted school bus while being a student. Sorry I don’t fit your acceptable mold of contributing to a high carbon footprint!

i've been here a couple years and even within those few years the facility has deteriorated so much. nothing gets fixed, no one gets paid except administration. a very small portion of teachers are full time. i've heard of teachers who've worked here ten, fifteen years and were not full time. if i had to guess, it's so the school doesn't have to pay for benefits and can fire them more easily…

the quality of education is not what it should be; how are teachers to commit to caring for and improving our curriculum and program when the school will not commit to them. This is only the tip of the iceberg on how this school operates.

this school is run down, the administration does not take their job with any integrity or seriousness and are real good thinkers only when it comes to being apathetic, amoral, and greedy.

i do not want to sound dramatic but the school is run in such a ridiculous manner, trying to not is very difficult. anyway, save your time and money and do not go here because i feel robbed and so does everyone i know!

早年和周星驰合演《长江7号》而成名的中国女星徐娇，2013年开始在美国的艺术中心设计学院（ArtCenter College of Design），攻读电影系学士课程，但因疫情等问题，花了七年才毕业。

她星期六（4月29日）在社交平台分享成绩单，所修读的六个学科包括电影历史等，全部考获A级，学期成绩平均积点（Term GPA）更达3.958，成绩相当不错。她留言：“最后这个学期成绩出来了！好开心啊有distinction（优秀等级）了！”

成绩单曝光后，“#徐娇成绩全A”迅即冲上热搜榜，惟因有网民指其中一科哲学，成绩只有A-，惹来其他网民狂批太苛刻及扫兴，认为成绩已相当不错，徐娇留言：“哲学太难了！”

Went here for exhibts and talks. Amazing place. Smashed expectations.

I was deceived by counselors at the school, that my stuff was good and to spend money on their extension program to beef up my portfolio. They then boosted my ego by saying my portfolio was good and ready for review, even though they removed several pieces and instead left the extension program work, only for hopes to be dashed and told my stuff was narrow in scope.

In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't get in and spend a ton of money, racking up student debt for a job I would come to realize I didn't like. I was darn good at graphic design, I just didn't like doing it for others.

The professors are good, and the campus is beautiful but my bank account is much prettier than those students that have gone here, drowning in debt. Right now, they would kill for the small amount of debt I have, part of it being a car payment.

旧友に会いにロサンゼルスへ行ったついでに久しぶりに訪ねてきました。「A.C.C.Dといえばカーデザイン」と言われるほどカーデザインに関して力を入れている美大で、有名カーデザイナーの多くがこちらを卒業しています。所在地はパサディナでロサンゼルスの山側に位置し高級住宅地エリア（成城みたいな感じ）になります。
ダウンタウンから車で30分ほど走って緑が豊かな丘を登っていくとモノトーンの美術館のような校舎が見えてきます。総学生数が少ないため敷地や校舎はさほど大きくないのですが設備の充実度合いは素晴らしいです。デザインしたオリジナルのパーツを様々な素材で作成してくれる機械や豊富な工具類を自由に使うことが可能です。
また周囲に飲食店などはありませんので、売店やカフェテリアの内容も結構充実しています。
A.C.C.Dのカーデザイン科には自動車メーカーに勤めているけど、勉強の為に退職や休職をして通っている、という方もおり、課題も本当に大変で「自宅には着替えに帰るだけ」とか「今週はずっと学校にいる」という学生だらけな状態ですが、目的を持って学校へ通うのですからこれが普通だと私は思います。
将来カーデザイナーとして活躍したい、という希望があるなら是非一度学校見学へ行くことをお勧めします。きっと良い刺激になりますよ！
