CSULB vs CSUF For Illustration

<p>Hi everyone, I was accepted to both CSULB and CSUF for fall 2012 as an Pre-Illustration major. In my opinion both universities have a solid illustration program and I would be happy attending either one. However after taking certain things such cost of living, location and catalog description in consideration, I'm leaning toward CSULB.</p>

<p>My question for those who have attended or attends either school is what are your opinions about your school? Do you feel you were given a solid foundation in which to build your artistic skills? Have you been able to obtain work (either as a freelancer or regular employee) based on the skills you've learned at either school? Any other info anyone can provide will be helpful as well. I'm open to hearing from art majors outside of the Illustration program as well. </p>

<p>Your thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated</p>
