At Otis College, you’ll become part of a warm, tightly knit community that supports your creative endeavors.
You’ll be challenged to learn and grow while making lifelong friends. With 24-hour access to many studios and other facilities, you’ll likely spend more than a few late nights working alongside your classmates. We’ll make sure you have plenty of help –– and fun, too. In your first year, you will be given a Peer Mentor and an Academic Mentor to help guide your journey. We also offer on-campus housing for 230 students in a newly constructed residence hall.
You can take part in campus events like our Halloween Extravaganza, movie screenings, and open-mic nights. You also might join a club, organization, professional society, represent your classmates through the Student Voice Association, or serve as a mentor to a younger student.
