UMich vs BU for graphic design???

I got accepted in Stamps at UMich and CFA at Boston. I know that both schools as a whole are very good. But I don’t know which school is better art wise? My major is graphic design btw.

I think that UMich is better art wise (not sure), but its a public school and I’ve heard that it’s easier to find a job if you go to a private school like BU?? I’ve never been to Ann Harbor but I heard it’s suburban. I have visited BU before and Boston is very nice and I would love to live there, but I am afraid that BU’s CFA isn’t that good.

Can you guys please help me and give me advice?

First of all, it is Ann Arbor, not Ann Harbor. :wink:

Secondly, whoever told you that job placement out of private universities is better than job placement out of public universities is clearly mistaken. There is no correlation between a university’s status as public or private and job placement. BU is a good but not great university. Michigan, on the other hand, is an elite university. BU’s endowment stands at $1.6 billion. Michigan’s is $9.6 billion (6 times larger). That’s a direct result of Michigan’s alumni being wealthier, which is a pretty good indication of how successful they are. Michigan’s alumni network is considered one of the best in the nation in terms of wealth, loyalty and influence. Michigan is one of the most heavily recruited universities in the country across all disciplines, ranging from technical jobs to corporate jobs.

As far as campus environment/setting, Michigan obviously has a larger, more cohesive community and is located in the downtown area of a mid-sized college town. BU has a distinctly more urban feel.

That being said, I am not sure about Graphic Design specifically.

@alexandre sorry autocorrect! wow i didnt realize how much bigger umich’s endowment was. after reading your post, im leaning a little more towards umich now, thank you! :smiley:
