NewSchool of Architecture & Design 1249 F Street, San Diego, CA 92101

"I attended the NewSchool of Architecture & Design for their Architecture program. I was impressed with the faculty's expertise and dedication to helping students succeed. The curriculum was comprehensive and provided a well-rounded education in architectural theory and practice. The school's emphasis on hands-on learning and real-world projects offered valuable practical experience. The close-knit community fostered collaboration and personal growth. Overall, I had a positive experience at the NewSchool and would encourage aspiring architects to consider it."

"I had the most awful experience, there is a lack of respect and appreciation towards the students, the staff are unprepared and hostile, and the department has no ethical obligation for your education, they will go so far as to assign you classes you don’t need just keep you there longer. So if you care about architecture and design stay away!"

"Attended a year - was not impressed. Had one issue in which I wrote a letter to Kurt H., I think he send me a response that just said denied. For the amount of money I was paying, I expected a more respectful response or some kind of dialogue. I also called in an attempt to start again and representative insisted I needed a portfolio (I already attended a year - just look at grades) and I don't have one as I have moved several times since. I also wanted to pay cash upfront for last two years and he said no. Anyway, it was odd and in no way welcoming. I will look at Woodbury or head up to LA."

"I have been going to Newschool for three years now and I feel extremely fortunate. I have met some of the most passionate, intelligent, and design-minded instructors here. I am continuously amazed by all of the wonderful opportunities that Newschool has to offer. As a student who is very involved, Student Council President, AIAS member, Library Aid, and Student Life Aid, I can say that the complaints that I've heard always come from those who expect to be handed things. With any school, this is not, and should not be, the case. Newschool provides you with the tools and it is up to students to take advantage of them. If you don't have the drive to do so, this is not the school for you. The school has undergone serious change and has improved immensely over the last 3 years. I foresee this trend continuing."
