Art Institute-Cincinnati

The art institutes in general is a absolute scam!! Make sure u read the fine print of everything you sign! They never warn you about anything or any due dates. You can get the same education in every art college and academy everywhere in the United States don't waste your money. They don't even know your name when coming for a campus tour also their college is an office building... Not a campus at all which again makes it look like they are out only for ur money that's how badly they want your money.... If you have that kind of money that's great but I highly recommend a O'More college of design, Memphis college of design, the art academy in cincinatti Ohio more

This school is way over priced! They promise to help you find a job after graduation only to shove you out the door as soon as you graduate. Some of the classes that were needed for my career choice weren't offered. Most of the teaching staff were very unhelpful and rushed through the curriculum. After you graduate you are left feeling like you could have been taught alot more than was offered...especially for the money. I am very dissapointed in this school. Total waste of money. Pros: null Cons: null more

Don?t get me wrong, this school is in need of some improvement? The admissions people are WAY to pushy and don?t come off friendly as they should. They need to STOP hiring new admissions people and start focusing on better instructors and better equipment for the programs then people actually might stop tearing this place down so much. Pros: null Cons: null more

At first, I really wanted a creative education at Ai. DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL for they are money hungry Sharks!! As I progressed through the enrollment process, I discovered very quickly that what was BEST for ME was NOT important. Because I had personal issues that made it impossible for me to start school when they wanted, they HOUNDED me with so many nasty phone calls, especially from the Director of Admissions, that it made me cry. I was told by her that if I didn't start school when they wanted, I COULD NOT ATTEND Ai. I later found out that it was a lie and was just a tactic to get me to start school sooner than what was BEST for me. Once I signed all the paperwork, most everyone, except my admissions rep, was so pushy and unfriendly. I am the customer. I thought, why are they treating me in such a negative way. I found out later from students who attended Ai-Cincinnati that there was an EXTREME amount of turnover in all departments: instructors, executive management, admissions and EVERY other deparment they have there. That by itself says something about a business when so many employees leave in all departments. Ai-Cincinnati is a terrible school with mean people. *** BEWARE *** more

I have been at the Art Instute of Ohio- Cincinnati for about two years now, and I also started the summer of 2007, and I dont know what caused such a huge chip on the last persons shoulder. First of all, Financial Aid has been EXTREMLY helpful to me, and extremly patient and Super nice. Everything is always explained to me very well. Pros: Good equiptment, library and instructors, nice people Cons: expencive, needs to be a little more organized maybe more

I have been going to this school since July of 2007 when this location was first opened. I thought it was a little rocky because they were still figuring things out but it's only gotten worse since I've been there. The only reason I have stayed in this hell hole is because your credits are only transferable to other Art Institutes. Financial aid is TERRIBLE. They are rude and have no idea what they're doing. They'll do anything to get more money out of you and to keep you from taking out money that is yours! They will hire any dumb ass off the streets as an instructor because they have such a high staff turn-over. You never see the same instructor two quarters in a row. If you are struggling with the class or the teacher doesn't know how to explain things, plan on taking the class again. No one will help you to undertsand, they will just fail you and make you take it over again to get more money and to make you stay longer. I should have graduated in June and it is now going to be next March because they have done this to me several times. The whole place is disgusting, there is never soap in the bathroom and the stalls are gross. There is never an empty computer lab for those who don't have access to a computer or for those who need to do class work. The "library" is pathetic. The woman that works there is a bitch and the shelves are completly bare. I could go on for days.... PLEASE DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE. Pros: NONE. Cons: EVERYTHING! more
