<p>Hi everyone!</p>
<p>I' currently a Visual Arts Media major at UC San Diego. I am thinking about transferring to Portland State for graphic design and maybe a business minor. I've already been told by family members that I am a little crazy for thinking of leaving such a high ranked university, for PSU BUT I just feel like it's not right for me and I do not like the Visual Arts department method of teaching nothing haha, but seriously.</p>
<p>I'm interested in the Portland State program because it is affordable, in one of my favorite cities, and I like that the programs seems to actually provide students with skills to express their creativity in graphic design. Not just babble about conceptual artists form the 70s.</p>
<p>Side note, I plan to become a photographer after I graduate so what I major in doesn't matter too much. But I feel like having a graphic design background would help me immensely in the future with having my own businesses. </p>
<p>Is anyone in the graphic design major there? Or has been in it, or known anyone? I'm just looking for some help and advice as I am very confused!</p>
