Okay, I was wondering if someone could help me out. I've looked everywhere, including all over this forum and I haven't really found what I'm looking for. This weekend I am going to Boston to look at a couple colleges. I have heard really bad things about the AI schools (though as hard as I looked, nothing speciafically about the New England Institute of Art), so that's becoming really not even a consideration any more. I'm also looking at Emmanuel college... I'm not really sure about it being a Christian school and whether that'd really make a difference or not, but I really haven't heard too much about it and pretty much nothing about it's graphic design program.
I live in Rochester New York and I really don't want to go that far away from home let alone to Cali. I'd really like to find something around Boston or New York.
This is what I've looked at:
FIT - Doesn't really seem to have a graphic design program?
RIT - A good possiblity I think if my grades are good enough to get accepted.
Emmanuel - Again, really don't know much about it.
Boston Institute of Art - The real problem I see with them is the portfolio they require... they want pastel darwings, and things like that. I have a good deal of digital art, but not as much Ink/Pencil/Pastel art. I didn't have the opertunity to take a lot of art courses in highschool.
New England Insititute of Art - The program looks appealing to me anyways, heard horrible things about it though and that you really have to push extremely hard to get anything out of it when everyone else there doesn't care, and the price is high.
I guess that's it... if anyone can fill me in on just one of these school's or suggest some other ones, I'd be much appreciated. I'm getting kind of scared to tell you the truth. I'm in my senior year I've kinda just confirmed that graphic design is what I want to do... although I read another thread here where some guy said you'd be better off doing some general job like accounting for a living which was kind of confidence shrinker. Anyways, thx.
