CohesionPlease say you see how free the waters fall, With each drop floating wide into the air, Or see the boulder’s blossoming affair With every splash that splays the canyon wall. Though on its own the drop may seem a small And lonely bead, its space and time ‘twill share With others, form streams long and rivers fair. Each partner to another bonds, to all.Cohesion

In Your YearsYour memory may perish after death, Or fade away with aging solitude, Your aspirations wilt with loss of breath, And bonds that bind your world become unglued. Your greatest acts of good will most forget; Or else not prove to give as great a worth. May none regret what you’ve come to regret, Or sigh upon the beauty of your birth. There pass after the years your name and face, Along with your possessions and your past Which can’t but whither down and fall to waste, As every word that fails to longer last. &#In Your Years

1) If you're living in a dorm, you'll have to decide between Smith Hall and the Artists' Residence. I lived in the Res and loved it -- apartment-style dorms (2-4 single or double bedrooms with a full kitchen, living room, and bathroom) and a good amount of privacy. The downside is that it's not necessarily as much of a community as Smith Hall, which is a more standard dorm building (single and double bedrooms in pairs sharing a bathroom, a common area on each floor I think, and one communal kitchen on the first floor). Ultimately it depends on how much privacy you want (there's a price difference, too).
2) Freshman year is bad. Bad bad bad. Everyone I know hated it and thought it was useless. I'm telling you this not to scare you away from the school (it's awesome once you get into your major sophomore year), but to prepare you. I didn't know what to expect so when I found out what freshman classes were like (general 3D/2D classes that put more into conceptual stuff than into technical), I was really bummed and didn't put much effort in, and thus didn't get a whole lot out of it. If I could go back and redo my freshman year I would, despite the classes being bleh, because if I had put more effort in I would've learned more about my own artistic personality. There were only a few projects that I really enjoyed, but now that I look back on it it's because I made myself put a lot of effort in from the start. The sooner you brainstorm ideas for a project, the sooner you get a good idea for one...and the better it'll turn out in the end.
3) Post-freshman year is wonderful. I'm in Illustration and I love it. Do you know what major you'd want to go into?
4) Being in the city is awesome. I spent freshman year in the Res right across from school, sophomore year at the base of Mission Hill (my apartment there sucked, sadly), and now I'm living in a great apartment in Brighton (an hour commute to school on the T). I grew up on Cape Cod, and going from boring suburb-ish place where all of the artists paint sand dunes and seagulls to Boston has been a great experience.
The tl;dr version: MassArt would get A++ if it wasn't for the lame freshman year.

2) I would expect the foundation year at any school to be as bad as you say, but that is some great advice. I am not the type to push myself from the start, and I probably would have tried to cruise through it (then again, I enjoy going over the basics in most cases). I'll be sure to make the most of it.
3) I am planning on doing Graphic Design. IIRC from my tour, the two meld in terms of space, maybe I'll spot you.
4) I had a blast exploring Boston when I came to visit. I am from the suburbs of Baltimore. Even having spent a large amount of time in the city, the Boston area is a completely new experience, and from what I hear, a very fulfilling one.
Thank you so much for responding! I really appreciate it.

Another random tip thing: Since MassArt has long classes once a week rather than short classes multiple times a week, it's good to experiment with scheduling to see what works for you. Freshman year I think I had a class every day and didn't like it, sophomore year I had 3 days of classes a week with 2 together then a day off then the last day of classes (e.g. MT classes, W off, Th classes). This year I've been doing 3 days of classes grouped together, and I've found that that's the best for me -- I get more work done and I'm less likely to be tempted to skip. Some other kids don't do well with the 3 days of classes + 4 days off thing. It all depends on your method of working, I guess, and how much you can motivate yourself to work on days that are supposed to be "off".
