Hi :] o/

So, hopefully some of you can help me with this one.
-I'm looking at going to college or University but im not sure exactly where.
Primarily I have two options. The first being I attend NSCAD, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Which apparently is supposed to be one of the better schools in Canada. Or I can apply somewhere in Ireland. Im just not sure where in Ireland. Does anyone know of a top art school in Ireland?
-thanks

NSCAD is great if you want to take fine arts. It has some wonderful teachers. And some cool and talented students( i know quite a few ppl who are at NSCAD and they like it, one of my friends dident I remember), Not to mention the college inside is pretty cool looking and its next to a chocolate factory (i think, it smelled like chocolate when I was there and someone told me that.) and next to a casino.haha

I was looking into going there years ago but they dident have what I wanted to take which was industrial design.
I ended up taking a one year fundamental arts course at NBCC Mirmachi (great animaion program, actually Ubisoft who make games like Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, Brothers in Arms, ect. Are starting to hire primarly from there.) to sharpin my skills and get a kicking portfolio and then applied to CCS and got accepted. (One of my Profs. at NBCC was a NSCAD student back in the day, and talk about an amazing artist.)
But definatilly if your into the whole fine arts thing, thats a good school. And about ireland... no idea.
