Ringling College of Art and Design is a private four-year accredited college located in Sarasota, Florida that was founded by Ludd M. Spivey as an art school in 1931 as a remote branch of Southern College, which had been founded in Orlando during 1856.

The art school separated from Southern College and became an independent nonprofit institution in 1933 and has changed names several times. It qualified for full accreditation as a degree-granting institution by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools on December 11, 1979. Upon joining as a member, accreditation by the National Association of Schools of Art was granted in 1984. The campus includes the Longboat Key Center for the Arts.

StudentsReview was founded in 2000 from the belief that students should have access to more complete information regarding one of the most important (and expensive) decisions they'll ever make.

From that day, StudentsReview has grown to have over 125,000 student reviews of 3,359 schools. We have servers across the globe in Europe, Asia and the United States. 

If we were to believe every pamphlet, brochure and email sent to prospective students, all students will attend the safest, most beautiful, academically challenging and fun school on the planet, regardless of what school it is. (smile) But we all know that can't be true, but how does a prospective student find out what is?

We know how, because that's where StudentsReview lives. To get students that information, we collect, compile, analyze and disseminate reviews of public and private universities, colleges and trade schools. We send them out uncensored because, Students Know Best.
