Is Gerrit Rietveld Academie or KABK ( Royal University of Arts the Hague) more worth it?

Hi,

So I am a non -EU student applying to both schools for BA in Fine Arts. There wasn't too much information I could find online regarding both of the universities so I am just wondering if there's anyone here that has studied there and would like to give me some insights.

Also, I spoked to a Dutch friend and she said generally HBO is considered inferior or less highly regarded . Is this true? Would it be the same case for an art school?

Also, what are the reputation of both places internationally? Would an HBO degree affect my CV or later on for job opportunities. Thank you a lott!!

Gerrit Rietveld Academie?

I’m from Asia and I’m looking for visual art universities around Europe to study in. I came across GRA and they look pretty cool. I’ve attempted to research research on them by scouring reddit and youtube but I’m still not getting the sufficient info I’m looking for. I’ve even emailed them about more info.

I’ve learned that they’re well known in Amsterdam and they have an experimental approach to art. But are they actually worth going to? I live very very far from NL so its a big risk I gotta take and I just wanna make sure I’m making the best decision for college.

For art students studying in NL, feel free to recommend some colleges that you might think are better!

Also if any one has been accepted or attempted to apply here lmk too :)

Calling out to the affiliates of Gerrit Rietveld Academy and Willem de Kooning academy!

I am currently applying to the Netherlands and these 2 universities are my top options, and they seem to be the ones that people discuss most. What does it take to be accepted into either one? Additionally, how was your study experience in either of them?

De Stijl style chair after Gerrit Rietveld - it’s been built in LEGO before, but this was my take for a Christmas present for my wife a couple of years ago... complete with instructions. reddit.com/gallery/ld4slx
