Hello! I was accepted into SVA, Parsons, and Otis as a transfer student for the illustration program at all of the schools. SVA was my top choice, but unfortunately it would be far too expensive and they did not give me good enough financial aid and I did not receive a scholarship. So now that SVA is out of the picture, I am having a hard time deciding between going to OTIS or going to Parsons. both schools gave me better aid and I received merit scholarships.
Does anyone know anything about either schools’ Illustration program? I visited both schools, but beyond some basic information not much was said about Illustration. The curriculum seems pretty similar so I don’t have a lot to base my decision off of education-wise. So if anyone has any insights, please let me know.
In terms of location, I am from Los Angeles, but I went to school is NYC last year so I am not unfamiliar with the culture of the city and the way it works. I love both cities and would be happy in either one, so I am more concerned about the quality of education. I know both OTIS and Parsons are well know for the Fashion Design programs, so I’m having a hard time coming across anything about their illustration programs.
Thank you!
