Emily Carr University of Art + Design

Emily Carr is has so many advantages that you just can’t find in other schools. They have a career counselling service, career fairs, and an awesome co-op program. And the Canada 150 Scholarship is just the cherry on top.It’s definitely considered one of the great options out there for artistic and creative education.

I attended ECUAD for 1 year of graduate studies in 2015, while the new campus was undergoing construction and community 'consultation'. If nothing else, this 'university' needs to change its name. Emily Carr the artist would be rolling in her grave. This new campus is built on the former False Creek shoreline, where 59 pine trees (plus) were clearcut while the City was on its way to becoming the 'Greenest City by 2020'. Emily Carr was not for the destruction of trees and was about using her art to share the truth of the landscape and its inhabitants - not the erasure and development of them. We shared our concerns and ideas with not only instructors, but the developers and city planners at the time, and were only given lip service. What kind of forward-thinking art school doesn't prioritize environmental and social justice alongside the creative process? I ended up leaving because I didn't want my name associated with being a graduate of this school. (The only reason I gave it 2 stars and not 1 is because of some of the instructors and artists I met, who became my creative allies and friends).

Even if you’re not an artistic person, you would still fall in love with the vibe.

The event was beautiful although a bit disorganized in relation to timing and communication. I enjoyed this event n looking forward to more.

Emily Carr have a nice bright and clean looking campus. Next time I am there I'll try to get a few nicer photos. I was just dropping my son off so can't speak to their level of education though I do work at a university myself in the Sciences and through my colleges I have generally heard good things about EC. We shall see.

As a professor teaching for the last 15+ years having visited many universities in my time, I have never been as inspired as I was visiting Emily Carr this week. Loved every corner and all the attention to detail. Well done ECU.

~Now it was that I was going to apply,/attend Emily Carr; However it was so that I made several youtube playlists, in that plans stead: the youtube playlists will tell you everything Else you will Need to know; theyre all {Secretly in code}... dsmfourtwenty " ; is the name of the youtube channel. ~Favourably Quool {☆}"

Emily Carr is a great school, I’ve learnt a lot here. I don’t recommend this school for beginner artists. Develop a practice/specialty and you’ll be able to take a lot more from this school and it’s courses

Friendly environment for me as a current second year student. Many events with amazing people around the world, and we have multiple resources helping us make creative designs!

As with any school, experiences from people like forti L" are expected. At ECU
