Ringling College is a rising institution in the field of the arts in the United States. It is prominently known for its Illustration, Animation, and Motion Design programs. The academics are indeed very good and also demanding. Students spend most of their daily lives working on projects and homework. The facilities and infrastructure are spectacular and top notch. However, the school really lacks in the areas of student housing, parking spaces, location, and food.
Sarasota is a beautiful yet very old city, which makes it hard for students to find leisure besides the beaches (which are very good). The weather is typical Florida: hot and humid, but it does get quite chilly over Winter.

The school might be a little “showy” from time to time, to attract donors and please the board of trustees. However, the efforts the school makes to expand and become a world reference in art and design education in the near future are not to be ignored.
