Maine College of Art Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Maine College of Art
- Reviewed on: February 28, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- Maine College is a great art school, im doing graphic design there and classes are fun but challenging though. The school is very close knit, all the students know each other and it makes it easier to know you can always ask someone for help.
