FIT opinions

<p>Hi,
My son needs to choose between SVA and FIT. Those are the two schools he has narrowed it down to. He is going to major in Fine Arts for now and then decide if he wants to switch to illustration. It is important to me that he be able to get a job after college. He wants to be in the city and I know that FIT has a good track record with their job placement. I think if money wasn't a consideration he would choose SVA only because it is more well-known. But I have heard a lot of positive things about FIT. The difference in tuition is signficant and we will not get any aid. FIT will cost $25 per year and SVA about 40. I am just looking for some feedback. The other schools he applied to (MassArt, Maine and Purchase) Maine didn't give him enough of a merit award and he didn't really care for Purchase. MassArt was ok but he wasn't impressed when we went there for portfolio day. Thanks for any feedback.</p>
