<p>Hi, I am originally from New Jersey and recently moved to San Francisco to attend CCA (California College of Arts) They have a great program and awesome teachers like Barren Storey, but I wanted to transfer somewhere closer to home. This would be my second time transferring since I went to a Community College for a year and a half prior. ): I just want to find the best school a little closer to home. San Francisco is a pretty scary place to live and I find I am just not adjusting well. I was thinking about looking at other schools, does anyone have any input on what the best illustration schools are- a little closer to home (: thanks</p>
<p>The Rhode Island School of Design, which isn’t too far from NJ, is considered one of the best art schools in the country. I have a couple friends doing Illustration there and they have nothing but positive things to say. It’s a very difficult school to get into, though, so you might want to look at a wider variety of schools. Luckily, you’re on the East Coast, so there’s plenty.</p>
