Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Reviews and Ratings

The first year was a great experience. Each semester included 3 studios (design, drawing and spatial dynamics), art history and liberal arts. It allowed me to explore all the possible options provided at RISD as well as come out as a much more multidisciplinary person before even going into my chosen major. The foundation year, however, is very stressful because of the high work load. The college is extremely helpful in terms of resources for mental health, which helped me get through the year.
