20 Best Mfa Programs In Washington, DC (2022 Updated)

I applied here and got in but communicating with my admissions counselor was very difficult. I asked her several times about financial aid and if I would receive any. When I DID get a hold of her she just told me that she's been very busy and to call back later. Which I did, she did not answer, and instead of answering my question she left me and my high school counselor a voice mail asking us to call her once again later. Honeslty never have seen worse student support from admissions counselor.Lucia Cova

While the food was descent, the service was so so. Once the cashier finally paid attention to us and we were able to order, she was very friendly. But prior to taking our order, she continued to talk to another employee and chat about non work stuff and ignore customers. The sweet potato fries and grasshopper shake were very good.Anthony Scott

Smack in the middle of D.C. it is the place to be if you're not a chump. It has top notch policy schools and other departments are great as well. The metro is also right there in the middle of the campus and you can get a university pass that'll make your travels free if you're a student. So don't delay, join today.ubdussamad

The most terrible school I have ever been to. Both the main campus and the Community college are the same. A lot of slow, unprofessional, and rude staff who keep yelling at students when they are not even doing their jobs properly. I submitted a certain paper to the Financial Aid office and they told me they lost the paper after weeks that I had to pay about $1700 out of pocket. During the 2020 Pandemic, I tried to contact them as I was having difficulty to waive the Student Insurance that is provided through the school because I already had an insurance coverage; no one answered my call until it was due. And now Miss Gaskon told me that I have to pay about $1300 for the coverage I never needed. Mis Gascon was there in 2018/19 when I had the same issue; she helped me waive it then. I could not go to her office in 2020 be a of Covid restrictions. I tried to solve the issue communicating with them but nothing got better yet. I would not recommend anyone to go the UDC unless one needs a headache. I cannot deny that there are some great Professors such as Prof. Sonnie Abebaku. However, individuals are very helpful to us, it’s overall experience at the university that makes a difference in our academic lives. So far, my overall experience is just TERRIBLE!Henok D

Worst administration I have ever had to deal with. Not only do they never respond to email or phone calls, they can't even keep track of ELECTRONIC applications, that required my daughter to submit 3 times and be forced enrolled late into classes due to their incompetence. But they also can't even have the literacy to read the applications correctly to charge the correct rate to students. They went ahead to charge not only my daughter but several other students out-of-state resident rates when all their applications illustrated DC residents. Like how can you not even read what's on the applications! How many other students were charged nearly 3 times when they should have been charged as a DC residents scares me on the level of corruption and neglect this body demonstrates to it's it's attendees.0 Then to not even have the decency and competence to even respond to emails and calls to try to correct this is just completely absurd, no wonder UDC is a laughing stock of a school to attend they can't even serve as a place to get extra credits for actual schools. How neglectful can you be to students and applicants, like seriously!Edgar E

Okay So I applied about 3weeks to a month ago and I’ve yet to receive any papers informing me if I was missing any documents or etc. I’ve called at least 5 times a day for about two weeks straight leaving voicemail after voicemail and no one has yet to return my call not only did I call multiple times I have also emailed them multiple and no response. It’s ridiculous what’s the point of having an admissions office if they not even going to pick up the phone, guide you in the process of being admitted or anything else like you guys get paid to do nothing it’s sad.Jamilya Allen

Such a fabulous experience. Whether you're a newcomer to the theatre, or a working actor looking to brush up or expand some specific techniques, The Theatre Lab has classes that can work for you. I've been a part of dozens of productions, from staged readings to full plays and musicals, and every experience has been wonderful. They also offer an Honors Conservatory program for up-and-coming actors to focus and hone their skills.Paul Horan

I am a volunteer and I truly enjoy the entertainment of the plays! The staff is outstanding and the student actors and actress are Phenomenal ! Seating is ideal . The only recommendation I say is during intermission make a short announce regarding food concessions for sale and perhaps display or sale some Theater lab paraphernalia such as T-shirts or small bags I would definitely buy one !

I took the "Public Speaking the Actor's Way" class in May 2018 and found it to be well worth the price. The text for the course was full of helpful theory on public speaking using acting techniques. These were put into practice in class. Students learned how to "act" — imagining themselves or the audience in different ways — to bring out their best "performance." I highly recommend this course.Merlene Vassall

The worst possible service when you call for ANY information. Not only are they not helpful, they sound very unfriendly and this is the third time I'm calling for information and I'm met with such. I know they might not have information to help you, but sometimes people have nowhere to go(/given number by another institution) that's why they're asking for any advice they can give etc. I've called several other embassies and consulates and they've never been as poorly spoken and ill-toned as the person who picks up the phone in this embassy. If you don't like your job of answering phone calls or questions, then let someone else do it. There's many other ppl willng to to your job.min woo

Okay, so…. If the man I just spoke to is any indication of the way the people in Belize are, I'm ready to pack my bags and move there right now!!! He was so wonderful, helpful, patient and he answered all my questions!! I hope I get him every time I call!! Thank you, please keep up the good work!! I love you!!!🤗Love This GIRL

We have been processing documents through the Belize Embassy in Washington for years. If any issues arise the staff there are happy to help. Thank you for all of your assistance over the years, The Authentication Legalization Services Canada Team.Authentication Legalization Services Canada

I called this number to help someone find law students for pro bono work, which I was told they do for free before they become attorneys and the lady said call one of the law clinics but had no forwarding information like a number, a person, a referral to someone,, and she didnt even say let me see if I can get the information for you. When you work for a company, school, business and the place has multiple departments, sections, and or branches under one name learn to guide people to a directory. As big as the school is ya'll are teaching future lawyers and yall don't know the number? why don't yall have a directory? learn customer service rule number one if you dont know offer to find out and call back. Poor customer service, especially when I needed help 27 years ago and had no problems. Those students not only saved my life but my son's. Them law students where amazing and someone needed them just as I did 27 years. To bad no one wanted to help me help someone else.Chonta Washington

A very unprofessional staff. Seems as if the recruitment staff who hire recruiters do not know how to hire. One employee acts as if they know what they are doing when they clearly are not. That employee happens to be the Assistant Director who does not look normal. For everyone's sake please do not promote that employee any further. Damage has already been catastrophic. All I can say is that I am glad this is not a federal employer. If it were a federal employer, then I would be very upset where my tax dollars would be funding. I am surprised that this is Georgetown Law. I feel bad for those students who are about to graduate and become practicing lawyers who sought advice from the recruitment staff.bob johnson

This review is primarily focused on the location: As a graduate student in one of GU's many programs I have come to the law center for an alternative study site–my campus is 6 blocks away, near Chinatown. Though the inner law center campus is peaceful and lovely, especially at dusk, the outer campus leads to some corners and places that I would not feel comfortable walking alone, especially on the southern side of to campus. Walk briskly.Karina Valverde

Stayed here in the summer of 2005 for my internship in Washington DC and the experience was absolutely fabulous with the dining halls and the gym being my favorites. No complaints at all and excellent customer service from the residence hall staff. I sometimes wish I studied Accounting at this university than at the one I studied at. Great school and great residence halls. Highly recommend! A+Praveen Sriram

It's an average college, no particular major that's really standout around the country or the world. Courses are not that challenged compare to some other higher ranking schools and that probably explains why graduates don't get the best careers, you get what you work for. One thing should be mentioned is that dorms have a lot of rats.cat wu

My friend is away at a summer camp and given the precarious infrastructure of your so called "university" has no wifi. He is unable to communicate with friends and family. This is outrageous, its unfair. Please fix this ASAP.Santiago Tovar

The Knights of Lithuania/ Maspeth Vyciai extends our love and appreciation to the Lithuanian Ambassador to the United States the Hon Audra Plepyte. Her love, dedication, professionalism and friendship during her stewardship and the professionalism of the Embassy staff has fortified a greater bond and friendship with the American people and the United States. We strongly encourage all to invest and visit Lithuania to help fortify all free, independent and democratic republics. Lithuania has a great culture, a history that transcends over one thousand years , has an array of resources and business opportunities that will strengthen the Baltics, Poland, Ukraine and the region.

Had an appointment for a passport renewal, was very fast. Make sure you bring all required documents and cash because card reader might not be working. Parking is on the street and it's not to busy usually within a 5-10 min walk easy to find a spot.Leonid Matvyeyev

Visited today to complete passport process. Arrived very early for our appointment and were fortunate that they were able to get us in early. Everyone couldn't have been more friendly and courteous during the process!!Pete Titas

The Corcoran Gallery of Art was an art museum in Washington, D.C. Prior to its closing, it was one of the oldest privately supported cultural institutions in the United States capital. Starting in 1890, a museum school, later known as the Corcoran College of Art + Design, co-existed with the gallery. The museum's main focus was American art. In 2014, after decades of financial problems, the Corcoran entered into an agreement with the National Gallery of Art (NGA) and the George Washington University whereby almost all of the gallery's 17,000 work collection was placed under the care of the NGA, while the school and historic 17th street gallery building continued operations as a part of the George Washington University's new Corcoran School of the Arts and Design.Asad Jan

Architecturally, the buildong is awe inspiring. I think it really captures your eyes. The exhibitions for the Lone Prairie, Breaking Cultural Boundaries, Cartoons and the Color exhibitions were interesting. They definitely were trying to tell a meaningful story. I think the cartoon exhibit was successfully set up, but the others needed more content and guidance to trully unfold. There's ton of space to work with in the building so it needed to be used effectively so it wouldn't feel emptyYesica Suarez

The Corcoran School of the Arts and Design is in the old Corcoran Museum flanking the Executive Building by the White House. It's centrally located in Washington, D.C and a beautiful space. It's in an old building set up like a museum making the school's art shows out of this world. There are spiraling staircases, courtyards and room after room of beautifully designed art. If you get invited to an event here, say yes!Austin Graff

i think Greece Embassy does not want to any tourist I just call them to get some information about visa and visa requirements my first call answered from one lady I explained her she said one moment she connect me another department I waited almost 10 min after I hang up phone and I called again this time another lady (I assume ) answered phone she was really rude. I mean really RUDE first of all she does not know how to say Please. secondly I m asking question she did not listen carefully she did not let me finish my sentence our conversation me: hi I would like to get information about visa process? she : what do you wanna know? me: first of all I m green card holder can I apply to visa from here ? she : which state? me Virginia she: yes you should go Washington dc embassy me : what should I bring ? she: we have a web site write down bla bla bla me : I know your web site but… (she just cut my sentence) she: why are you asking me then ? me :because there is no information about requirements or I couldn`t find why are you so rude and annoying? she :yes…… ????? Greece Embassy shouldn`t represent like this…Mehmet Bozkurt

Tried calling for weeks on end during their business hours, no response. Sent emails for weeks, no response. Finally, a man picks up and shamelessly tells me that it could take a month and a half to get a visa for a trip that is now taking place in 3 weeks. I get an appointment days before my trip. I complete all of the BS medical tests, fill out the application, drive all the way to DC. The man tells me he cannot approve my application because: A: I don't speak Greek, which shouldn't be surprising since I live in America B: My doctor electronically signed my paper, not hand signed., which shouldn't be surprising since we are not living in 1950 anymore. C: There's a section on the website under "Greek Nationals" that has a requirement of an FBI background check. I am not a Greek National, so I did not get an FBI background check. The man rudely accused me of not reading through the website. This embassy is the bane of my existence. It ruined my plan to work at my friend's business all summer. The people who work here should be ashamed. I am far more Greek than they are.Father of Time

Absolutely ridiculous process. No one helps anyone. Cannot get anyone on the phone to give any guidance. Their website has to be one if the WORSt formatted sites.out there, totally confusing and never get the right answer. Sent emails, phone calls, all to dead space. Make appointments and then get there after being in NYC traffic for hours, only to be told, that everything is wrong, well of you would pick up the phone and give guidance. .IT would NOT be wrong!!! What a bunch of INEPT people that work there. The best was the doorman, who says, 'dont hold your breath' this is what tax dollars pay for???Demetrios Gounaris

Just to let you all know that the lady that answers the calls is not a Singaporean. She is from the Philippines. It’s hard to get things done and get genuine answers from them. Lack of knowledge I must say. I asked for a Singaporean she passed me to her Filipino colleague it’s frustrating. The one in San Francisco is very efficient and all are from Singapore. You get straight answers from them. My passport takes a long time to process not sure what they did to my application before sent out to I C A. Now I have to pay extra for faster service???? It’s been more than 4 weeks!Noorzeela Kasmani

I am very very impressed with the service of this consulate. I am Nigerian and needed to get my Singapore visa asap and the consulate helped me. They were very patient with me and they issued me the visa in no time. The consulate executive kept me updated throughout the process and I was indeed impressed because she went above and beyond. Thank you Singapore consulate DC, I am about to go have fun in Universal Studios in a few weeks thanks to you!Victoria Alao

Someone is literally sitting there and disconnecting the phone before they even answer. Pretty pathetic that they are getting paid and can’t even put in the effort to attempt their job. Must be nice to steal money from your employer.Daud Mufasa

This use to be the original trolly station when Washington DC has a trolly. As a kid I got to ride on the last DC trolly. It is a spectacular architecture to see.Martin Brossman

The graduate school for arts and sciences at Hopkins is really solid.They only use PhDs as instructors in most programs, which is good. Many programs can be done fully online now too.The tuition is high, granted, but it's also one of the top 20 universities in the world! Unfortunately, the name on your diploma does matter.Michael Sweet

The Econ program is challenging and knowledgable. Though, the classroom equipments are not handy at all and the "library" is tinny tiny. Most of the lecturers are not full time professors, so the teaching quality varies.cat wu
