Help Me Pick a College!

College Search & Selection

Hey guys! This is my first ever post on here and I would really appreciate some feeback from you guys. I am a senior and I have been accepted to 5 schools but I have narrowed down my list to Syracuse University and Boston University as both schools provided ample financial aid for me.
If I went to:
Syracuse: School of Transmedia- Computer Art/ Animation
BU: School of Visual Arts- Graphic Design

I understand that they are not known as premier art schools but they both fit what I am looking for in a college but most importantly, they gave me a lot of financial help. I have done a lot of research and Syracuse seems to be a lot better in the art department as they have almost as many majors as an art school but I still do not know too much about the art programs of both schools (they were actually my safety schools). I would really appreciate it if anyone could drop some knowledge about the pros/cons of both schools and their art reputations. I will be visiting both schools in the next coming weeks but I would love some feedback.
Thank you so much!

I think that Syracuse’s Computer Art/Animation has more potential, but what about emailing each college and asking them about their graduates’ internships and placement post graduation?

Knee jerk is BU bc you would usually have more access to internships and better experiences in your field. But I dont know if Syracuse has a particularly good program

I have not visited either schools yet as I have not have enough time but I will be visiting by the end of the month. I just wanted some general knowledge about both schools art programs.
I really appreciate the feedback thus far!
