<p>Alright Im new to this thread it seems pretty reliable my question is that I currently transfered to SUNY Fredonia and I am a graphic design/Media Arts major. I am not liking the way the art program is running here. Now I am looking to transfer for the 2nd time. I have been looking at other schools that might have my major and is a little bit closer to home in queens I have looked into Stony Brooks Studio Art program but I am not sure if it is good or not and also I have heard about SUNY Purchase is pretty good. I am not sure other schools that might have the programs that I am currently in maybe some of you can help me out. thanks</p>
<p>I know a graphic designer who is doing well in her career who went to the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan. One possible drawback, though, is that they're short on dorm space. You might have to commute from home or find a spot in an apartment closer to school. </p>
<p>I'm curious to know what you don't like about the program at Fredonia. My son would have gone there as an illustration major if the financial aid hadn't worked out so he could go to Rochester Institue of Technology.</p>
<p>Suny Fredonia and frankly most of the SUNY programs are not that well known or ranked. SUNY Purchase supposedly has a good program.</p>
<p>You might also want to check out RIT and Pratt Institute, and SVA in NY.</p>
<p>FIT might not be a bad choice, being a NY state school.</p>
<p>Personally, if you can afford the tuition, I think that RIT would be the best program for you in NY. It has a very strong and well-recognized New Media program,which is somewhat unique in the US.</p>
<p>The thing that I dont like about Fredoina's art program is that the Media Arts program here might not be heading in the right direction. There are some courses that I feel that isn't nesscary to take</p>
<p>If it's the course requirements that bother you, I'd think a good way to decide if a program at another school better meets your needs would be to look at the list of graduation requirements for your major and see if those are courses you'd feel good about taking. </p>
<p>I suspect that at any school, in just about any major, there will be some required courses that don't sit right with certain students. If the overall program seems like a good fit, though, you put up with those requirements.</p>
