<p>Long story short:</p>
<p>Attended the Maryland Institute College of Art for 1.5 years.</p>
<p>WENT TO SCHOOL RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE:</p>
<p>-A big factor: my stepfather threatened to never let me see or speak to my 3 yr. old sis again (ugh long and complicated story, sigh). </p>
<p>LEFT BECAUSE:</p>
<p>-$$$ (one can only take out so many loans with 11.9% interest T__T )
-snobby rich hipsters=99% student body
-faculty/assignments (esp. academics)=joke
-most everybody else I didn't cover=rude and unhelpful</p>
<p>CAN'T GET ANY AID EVEN IF I WERE TO GO BACK BECAUSE:</p>
<p>-Though I have no connections to my mother, I am considered a dependant because of my age and she makes to much for me to get much aid (screw you FAFSA). Oh, and did I mention I can't declare myself independent because my parents refused to ever teach me drive/have a job (aside from work study as school), hence, I can't get a job. AUGH.</p>
<p>POSSIBLE MAJORS (preferably animation AND language but...)</p>
<p>-animation
-illustration
-languages (most any/though I studied Japanese throughout high school)
-linguistics</p>
<p>IMPOSSIBLE DREAMS:</p>
<p>-study abroad</p>
<p>So yeah...that's the gist of it. Any help you guys could provide would seriously be appreciated. I'm struggling here. :(</p>
