<p>Could you suggest to your parents that they save the ivy $$ for grad school & let you go where you want as an undergrad. Point out that things are expensive now & the economy is pretty rocky. That might be a compromise and apease them–maybe. Yale is reputed to have an amazing art program, especially at the master’s level (cousin’s S got his grad degree there–maybe you can get a double-degree- MA art + law degree–stranger things have happened).</p>
