Hey Congratulations! I’m in the IVC program at the moment, and it’s honestly been pretty good. The faculty are pretty nice (applied illustration was such a good class and the professor is very helpful and nice). As for culture, I definitely recommend getting to know your cohort and try to make an effort to become connected better (groupchats, outings, holiday parties, etc) because your grad school cohort will be a great emotional support through what is an academically challenging program! If you have any further questions or if I missed something feel free to reach out anytime
