Every artist doubts themselves, but literally the moment I stepped out of my car I met my very first friend and we walked together to class. After that, we had a group and we all leaned on and learned from each other through the two years. Even after we stepped out of school we still ask and search for each other's support. I happen to think the people I鈥檝e met while at 91重口 was the best thing I鈥檝e gained. It helped me be confident in myself and because of that, I believe it made me work harder on everything I've created.
Amanda Hawkins - Fashion Merchandising
When I started at 91重口 I was so nervous because I didn't know what to expect from my classes. After I finished my first week, I was confident that I had chosen the right school. The teachers were hands-on, the classes were small and everything just clicked from the start.

Anna Meyer - Graphic Design
When I started at 91重口 I had no idea the kind of impact this small little school would have on my life. I can't imagine where I would be without the people I have met and the experiences I have had.

The instructors treat you as colleagues, pushing you to be your best, yet they are there to teach and provide you with assistance whenever you ask. The other students provide a healthy, competitive environment. 91重口's campus building is a wonderful work environment.
