Edinburgh College of Art?

<p>I'm looking at a bunch of art schools around the US, but I'm also interested in studying in the UK. Edinburgh College of Art caught my eye, because I like the city and there's an opportunity to also study art history at the University, which is a plus. Does anyone know how it stacks up against American art schools (RISD, MassArt, Cooper Union....) and other UK art schools like St Martins? Also, how hard it is to get into.</p>
