I graduated from UArts many years ago. The positive is the university is one of, if not the only university that offers creative and performing arts under the same roof. The amount of exposure to other disciplines a student can experience are excellent. The negative is the price. The tuition rate for a undergrad degree is so high that it's like an offensive joke. It wouldn't be so bad if the job market for creatives were robust in Philadelphia. It's not, not by a long shot. If a student attends UArts, expect large amounts of debt upon graduation and you absolutely must relocate because Philadelphia isn't a good city to be a creative. Don't let the marketing fool you, Philly wants to be a creative city, like New York, respected, but in reality the city is a poser that doesn't deliver for those already here. I was an animation major at UArts in a department that labeled computer animation a "fad", video game design a "waste of talent" and refused to acknowledge digital editing and output. Totally ignorant of the changing industry and proud of this ignorance. It's improved to an extent since last I visited (a few months ago) but judging from what my nephew (who is currently a student) told me about his animation courses, UArts is still not quite up to speed on practices and technology in animation. Not cool for that tuition rate. If I had to do it all over again, I probably would not attend UArts. As such, I wouldn't recommend the university to anyone else except those from very rich families that are attending simply for something to do.
