<p>My D is just beginning to think about art school and/or a university with a good art/design program.</p>

<p>Her interest, currently, is time-based media--films/video/computer animation etc.</p>

<p>She likes the sound of the program at Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design--anyone have any experience w/ that school? Or recommendations of others with good programs?</p>

<p>We likely will not qualify for need-based aid, but will have trouble paying more than $35k or so...the rest would be loans. Some of these schools are very pricey, I'm seeing--COA in the 50s...I don't want her/us to wind up with loans over $20k total...So also looking for suggestions of state schools or schools that might offer merit (she has very good grades, projecting above average but not top-top test scores, and an excellent portfolio).</p>

<p>Thanks for any thoughts!</p>

<p>Defintely consider Ringling and Laguna college of art.</p>

<p>If you want to consider a non-art school with a good Media Arts program with film/video/animation program on a beautiful campus with unbelievably friendly students <em>and</em> merit aid, check out Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. We first fell in love with the program, then visited and were absolutely hooked on the place.</p>

<p>7-Year old video, but shows the campus: [Ohio</a> University - WeRU](<a href=“http://www.ohio.edu/weru/video1/]Ohio”>http://www.ohio.edu/weru/video1/)</p>

<p>Media Arts Department in the Scripps School of Communications (contains one of the top 10 J-Schools in the country): [About</a> the School | The School of Media Arts and Studies](<a href=“http://www.tcomschool.ohiou.edu/undergraduate/about.html]About”>http://www.tcomschool.ohiou.edu/undergraduate/about.html)</p>

<p>Merit Scholarships: [The</a> Gateway Award Program: Ohio University Admissions](<a href=“http://www.ohio.edu/admissions/gateway/index.cfm]The”>http://www.ohio.edu/admissions/gateway/index.cfm)</p>

<p>*Note: these are this year’s amounts; If she was an out of state student with even half-way decent stats (3.0 GPA/25+ ACT), she’d have gotten a $24,000 scholarship ($6Kx4yrs). COA is under $30K including OOS tuition, R&B, etc.</p>

<p>I think this place is a hidden gem.</p>
