<p>Hi everyone,
I want to apply to some art schools for communications design. Ones that I've considered are Pratt, Parsons, SCAD, and FIT. But I am nervous about not fitting in and not finding a social group. I like to dress preppy.... (J. Crew, Vineyard Vines, Lilly... etc.) but overall I don't really have a preppy personality, I just like to look classy. Which doesn't quite fit the boho-artsy stereotype you expect to see in Art Schools. I live near Burlington, Vermont, I consider myself liberal, and I'm very used to the "hipster" community of Burlington and I don't dislike it. I'm not opposed to befriending certain types of people, I'm just worried they'll be opposed to befriending me!</p>
<p>But anyways, does anyone have any insight on this or the kinds of people who go to these schools?</p>
<p>PS. The girl who did my Pratt tour had giant hair, lots of piercings, and lots of eyeliner.. So maybe I just saw one extreme and I'm freaking out for no reason?</p>
