I’m currently a senior in highschool and I got accepted into the four schools. My goal is to be an independent animator who does freelance work for smaller studios (not really interested in Disney’s commericial works) or musicians (music videos, etc.). The majors I chose when I applied for them are listed below:
USC - school of cinematic arts, animation and digital arts
Oxford - fine art
Tufts - combined program, animation and computer science
RISD - film/animation/video
My heros are Svankmajer and Goerge Schuwizgebel and my favorite animation studio is Studio 4 ℃.
Here are some of my works.

Regarding the school’s vibe, I’m not a party person and more of an introvert who just wants a quiet place to do my work. But if the animatuion program of the school is supreme and absolutely better than the other, I don’t mind going to a party school .
Please help me make a decision! It would also be great if you’ve been to one of these programs and tell me more about them. Thanks so much!
