<p>I'm deciding between Cornell Human Ecology's FSAD (fiber science and apparel design) or the Brown/RISD joint program for ED. I literally would die to get into either of them and I'm having trouble deciding which one to apply for ED...I'm a very passionate art/fashion student but I want a good university education to explore different areas of academics. I need your help! I would like to study art history or sociology in Brown and apparel design in RISD if I get into the joint and fashion marketing in Cornell...</p>
