<p>So I'm thinking about going to a state school for fashion design and photography, but I also want to go to an arts school. Any advice?</p>
<p>Art schools are very expensive. Would you, first off, be able to afford it? </p>
<p>What state are you in, or do you mean you’re looking at both IS and OOS state schools in general? </p>
<p>You should consider looking at public/private universities that have a great art department, like UCLA (would be very expensive unless you’re a CA resident), Columbia, or Syracuse. From my experience, art schools = expensive and do not give out much aid, but some private colleges are generous with it depending on your stats/portfolio.</p>
<p>Money is a little tight, so I’m not sure how much my parents would be able to afford.<br>
I meant in-state schools. I live in Texas, so I’m applying to Texas Tech University, University of North Texas, and Texas Womens University, but I am also looking at Columbia College Chicago and RISD.</p>
<p>If you’re in NYC, go to FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology)! It’s a pretty cheap school and has a great Fashion Design reputation.</p>

<p>I unfortunately live in Texas, but I do know that even for OOS, the tuition is pretty cheap. How is the school overall? What was did you major in?</p>
