<p>trying to sty on east coast ...any suggestions</p>
<p>I know Carnegie Mellon is good! And if you are looking for art-only schools, I think the Maryland Institute College of Art, as well as the Rhode Island School of Design (I think RISD is a little better than MICA but I’m not completely sure).</p>
<p>I hope this kind of helped! lol</p>
<p>List of art schools…

<p>I’d recommend Savannah College of Art and Design, Rhode Island, or Art Institute of Chicago. I assume RI and Chicago are well regarded and in the southeast people have heard of SCAD. I’ve had a number of friends who liked their experience there.</p>
<p>And take those rankings with a grain of salt. Wouldn’t put much stock in them.</p>
<p>Syracuse, Suny Purchase, Bard, Tufts and VCU.</p>
<p>Tell us more what you want in a school.</p>
<p>What is your area of art?</p>
<p>What is your budget? (art schools are expensive and they often do not give much aid.)</p>
<p>I have been to RSDI, Pratt, Purchase (hated Purchase) SAIC, Syracuse and Massart. I really liked Syracuse, and Massart. I found Pratt EXTREMELY depressing, maybe I was there on a bad day. I am into industrial design, interior design, and product design. No fine arts. I am really having a hard time, also anyone know about Ringling or SCAD?</p>
<p>also my ACT’s are not great, but my portfolio was reviewed at Syracuse and SAIC and I was passed at both schools.</p>
