<p>I am looking for a college around Ohio or the northern east coast that has an arty athmosphere and is good academically (especially the art/design programs). A city environment is a bonus...</p>
<p>Brown maybe?</p>
<p>How about Oberlin? Though Oberlin is definitely not a city.</p>
<p>I second Brown, and if you are also accepted to RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) you can choose to get a RISD/Brown dual degree.</p>
<p>University of Cincinnati. Excellent design program.</p>
<p>Emerson, Sarah Lawrence</p>
<p>Skidmore, although it’s not very urban.</p>
<p>Vassar? I don’t know how the art program is, but I’d def. consider it an “arty” LAC.</p>
