<p>Any tips on schools?
Anything to help me, I'm so lost..</p>
<p>Happy to help, but need a little more information. Are you a junior in HS? What part of the country do you live in/or want to study in? Do you do other art? What type of photography do you enjoy and see yourself doing after college? Do you want a school with primarily art/photography or a liberal arts school with a great art department? These are just a few things to think about and then it might be easier for us to direct you :)</p>
<p>Due to my God-awful memory I may have to answer your questions a couple at a time
lol!
But thank you very much for showing interest in my question 
Yes I’m a junior
I think I see myself in magazine photography, the one thing I would LOVE to do is National Geography magazine! haha
Uhm I live in Detroit & I wanna go to school in somewhere big like New York or California (better for the sights)
I don’t want to live in Michigan anymore, though</p>
<p>Oh & I do paintings & drawings lol</p>

<p>Couple of mine :)</p>
<p>Thank you for sharing your artwork. Very nice!
Here are some suggestions: consider a summer program at an art college. there are many, many programs from coast to coast (depending upon your financial situation). Some focus on one discipline (i.e., photography), others will give you a “mini” version of the foundation year at many art colleges (including classes in drawing, 3-D, etc.). Here is a short list of some of those schools:<br>
School of the Art Institute of Chicago
RISD
MICA
University of the Arts
New Hampshire Institute of Art
School of Visual Arts
Parsons</p>
<p>This is just a start. University of the Arts has a terrific photo program and one of the top photo editors at National Geographic is an alumna of UArts.<br>
You have to decide if you want to study art most of the time or not. Many of these programs will help you decide this. Otherwise, there are many good art/photography programs at liberal arts schools and state universities, where you can major in that, but still explore other disciplines.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions – I have just gone through the “process” with my D, so I am pretty familiar with it all.</p>
<p>Several people I know who have been accepted/gone to School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) feel it has one of the best programs in undergraduate photography. You wanted big city, so if Chicago is your kind of town you may want to check out their summer program too.</p>
<p>THANK YOU lol
I was actually just recently checking out the School of Visual Arts lol
The only thing that I don’t really want are those schools that give you more drawing classed than Photography classes in a photography program - bcz it makes no sense lol </p>
<p>Have you ever heard of Academy of Art University? I’m looking at them, too</p>
<p>If you are looking for mostly photography, then SVA and Parsons both have direct entry photography, where you get started on photography right away. MICA has a foundation year (with drawing), but they put students together with similar experiences (so photo majors, who MAY not have had a lot of drawing, will be in the same drawing class together – making it less intimidating). University of the Arts has a foundation year, but have some of the best photo facilities I’ve seen. Also, Pratt has a different foundation year for a few majors, including photography. You do still have to take a drawing class, you get started in photo right away. When you are looking at any of the schools, go to their websites and find the curriculum for your major – they will outline the courses you will take (it’s fairly directive in many schools, except SAIC, which is much more self-directed).</p>
<p>Corcoran College in DC has an excellent photo dept and like MICA groups photo majors together for drawing. Corcoran permits students to take photo courses all four years.
RIT is the very best for photo.</p>
