I am a bit bias as I have been going to school here for awhile. Genuinely enjoy the community and the teachers are INCREDIBLE! As some with autism and various mental health issues, it’s great to be surrounded by people who are very vocal about wanting to attend to my needs as a disabled student. Everyone here is very accommodating, warm, friendly & welcoming. So far, I’ve had a great experience as an undergrad at SAIC.

Great design, eycatching building, I wish I had more time in Chicago to come here more often.

Looking at art schools for my daughter. Sent SAIC multiple emails in the past few months. Not a single response. Meanwhile sent RISD an email on Saturday and they responded within 24 hours, on Sunday, not just answering our questions but even providing additional information. After much discussion SAIC is now off our list. Might be close to home but if something as important and basic as their communications are so horrendous what other issues do they have?

PARENTS RUN DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO ATTEND HERE..ITS THE WIRST SXHOOL ..CRESITS AEE NTRANSFERABLE.. PLEASE DO NOT GR

2/10 wouldnt recommend constant gun shots and went in to crippling debt because of school fees and hospital bills

This is a nice place

The SAIC is a great place to study arts and media courses. Highly recommended.

We have interacted with SAIC over last 8 months and altogether our experience has been fabulous. We have heard about orientations at other schools and we have our own experience, I must say we feel glad that our kid opted for this institute, our orientation was amazing and thorough and so was our childs. Our journey has just started but it looks that all would continue to be good.

Beautiful art museum with a great collection. Unfortunately, couldnt get to the museum until the last day of my trip and had to rush through it. However, the pamphlet helpfully listed the major art pieces to check out. Will definitely return next time Im in Chicago.

In many ways a fantastic graduate program to go to, not so happy with the administration people though

RUN! After a year of classes with two scholarships and perfect academics, a $2000 (now like $5500) balance prevented me from continuing coursework! I emailed the Dean, Headmaster, and every single email address I could find BEGGING to continue my coursework and asking if they can forward the balance-- also in their best interests as a business as it would double the revenue for SAIC.... CRICKETSNo one even responded and I was forced to drop out of classes until I came up with ANOTHER $2k. Mind you, its $50,000.00 per year.Now, my student loans are in arrears, I can not re-enroll until I get them caught up and also I can not continue until I pay the $2k balance WHICH IS NOW 5K.-My credit is ruined-My otherwise flawless acedemic career is useless because they wont send official transcripts-I cant pay the balance due because I cant get a job, because I dont have a degree, because I dont have $5k to pay the balance.ITS A TRAP and theyre not apologizing for it standing by the notion that education should be for the rich. Half the classes are awesome, the other half are like flushing $6,000 down the toilet (plus interest).What started as means for a better life for myself has paralyzed my ability to survive. Its a horrible reality.

My husband got a great education here, but almost didnt graduate because we couldnt afford the tuition. Many of his classmates didnt make it through. At his graduation I wished I had a sack of rotten tomatoes to throw at the pompous cravats up there bloviating about the greatness of SAIC, while talented and deserving students are systematically excluded from completing an education at SAIC (and have their finances ruined whether they finish or not).I was naive at first and assumed that his college would take an interest in helping him succeed, like mine had. I was so wrong. My husband was enthusiastically accepted to SAIC as a Merit Scholar, so he got a small scholarship along with some grants and student loans. Ben was a better-than-average student involved in honors programs. Our estimated family contribution per the FAFSA was always $0, however at the end of every semester wed get bills for $5-10k. The tuition rose several thousand dollars each year--from $35k his freshman year to over $50k his senior year--but financial aid never made up the difference. The so-called financial aid counselor advised us to take out bank loans in addition to the student loans we already had...WOW! I asked her if she would give the same bad financial advice to her own child; crickets to that.Do yourself a favor and limit your search to fully-funded universities with a tuition lock unless youre rich as hell and can pay out of pocket. I wish we had; well be impaired financially for another few years trying to get out from under this debt. Weve put off all kinds of life choices because of this monkey on our backs. And all because we were too poor to pay full price in the first place.

Sister went here, so I visited often, great campus in the heart of the loop has everything you need to get started in the design world.

Professor Michael Bonesteel, an art critic, author, and specialist in the history of comics and the history of outsider art, resigned after 14 years with SAIC when his hours were cut and his healthcare was lost in response to accusations of racism and homophobia when two transgender students were “triggered” by course material and lodged complaints.These snowflakes have trivialized what triggered means. They throw it around like its candy, when those that actually have PTSD from really messed up situations realize that the world around them wont conform/cater to their needs.

Excellent school. M.Arch NAAB accredited degree. I highly recommend AIADO and Sullivan Modelshop.

Im a freshman at SAIC and all I can say is Wow. The facilities and falcuty here are amazing. I am so glad I chose to attend the school. It is expensive but so worth it. :)

I went to tour here and it was a nice college.

Amazing experience, you have the original space and the new modern wing..AWESOME!

Great School - Im not obligated to say this....

I like it. Food could be a little cheaper but all in all worth the blood, sweat, tears and tuition.

Top premier art school of the world.

Anyone whining about a celebrity getting an honorary doctorate is completely ignorant of what that even entails, and as an actual student at the school with of grasp of how higher education actually operates, I can say that this school, while not perfect, is truly fantastic.

I`m happy to be here!

Ok

I like modern art s

How Much is to study in there? and how long is until graduation?

This place is where things happen at SAIC! Lots of talks, activities, and tours! And of course there are classes, the Service Bureau and the library!

For me, the wing of modernity is really a pleasant experience. I am not a big fan of modern art, so I will not visit the museum of this theme often. It’s great to come to the art school this time. The gift shop here is very good. In the summer, dont miss the trail between the Modern Wing and the Millennium Park. There is a nice view on the aisles of the art academy and the park.

It is the first time that I enter a museum with such tremendous paintings. I took the time to stand in front of each of them and be able to observe a certain chronology with the different characteristics that each style has. My biggest impression was when I entered the Picasso Gallery, inaugurated on February 20, 2013. This painter really deserves a separate gallery. He had another way of seeing things, of interpreting them. They launch your own imagination to see what you paint in the way that you think is more real.A place full of culture, I would return many more times.

Great! There are many collections

The art is very good!
