Emily Carr University of Art and Design - reviews

This is the premiere art school to attend in Vancouver and it's presence at Granville Island amongst all the creative minds and artistic culture certainly harbour a great learning environment. Whether it's continuing education classes or a full time program it's been putting out top notch training and it definitely shows. The student grad shows are always great for both students and the public who get to view some of the amazing talent that attend the school.

I took a Continuing Studies class at Emily Carr and absolutely loved the experience.  It's a great way to spend evenings or weekends if you're looking to learn something new or expand on an interest in the creative field.  With registration, you receive access to their library and 10% off at Opus Art Supplies.  What's great is that you meet so many different people of all ages and backgrounds, bonded by class interest.  Wandering the halls, you see student projects and gallery showings. The best part is that you're challenging yourself and tapping into parts of yourself that help you see the world in a more colorful way.  I never enjoyed getting homework so much.  I can't wait to take my next class.  I hope you do, too.

I am a recent graduate of Emily Carr, Class of 2014. I attended ECUAD from my foundation studies until graduation. I can hands down say that these four years of my life have been some of the best years I've ever had. As a semi-mature student heading back to university at the age of 28, ECUAD allowed me the opportunity to put all of my life experiences into a language that I could convey through art. It opened my eyes a little bit to the wider world around me and taught me how to continue my navigation through the world as an artist. I cannot express enough how much I loooooove this school. It was a home for me...it will always be a home for me. If your thinking about attending Emily Carr, the only thing I can suggest to you - is allow yourself the opportunity to change and evolve and apply yourself to what your see and hear while you're there. If you do that, your experience will be no different than mine.
