Match me! Art Schools in New England!

Chance Me / Match Me!

Hi! I would love recommendations for schools in New England with good art and humanities programs!
I am homeschooled and a Junior in high school living in New York City.
I want to begin school undeclared but I am interested in writing, photography, and queer/feminist studies. I do not yet have my GPA or my test scores. I don’t know my family’s exact budget but my sister goes to SUNY Purchase and I think that I will be going to a college in that same range

You’ll get much better responses than I can give - but a few that come to mind for me:

  1. Emerson
  2. Hartford
  3. RISD

I thought of Bennington but not sure it works.

I did a search for Photography and others that could work for you that also had English and gender/queer studies and I also found Endicott and Fitchburg State.

Hope that helps.

Mass College of Liberal Arts.

Lesley University

Hampshire College.

Also take a look at the women’s colleges in the same 5 college consortium as HC. You may have a better shot than you think at Smith and Mt Holyoke where last year’s acceptance rates were 39% and 52% respectively.

The arts scene has been emerging at Eastern Connecticut State U. Still small but worth a look. They do have a cross registration policy with University of Connecticut, which is just up the road and has lots to offer in the arts.

I think that U of Hartford in particular is a great recommendation. The history of the Hartford Art School goes back to a time when it was an independent Art School, long before U of H was even founded. It’s long legacy and history bring a level of quality that comes only with such such long traditions. The fact that it’s been part of a university for a number of decades now means that you also have access to the humanities that you’re also interested in.
