Hello all.
So my situation is like this: I live in Columbus, Ohio and I'm aiming for a career in animation, Pixar or Dreamworks being my far reach. I am also interested in conceptual art. So naturally, I applied to CCAD (Also applied to SCAD, but that was never going to happen). I was accepted and even got a scholarship from their portfolio competition. However, even with the scholarship, my family and I couldn't afford it. So this fall, I'm enrolling into OSU, which, honestly, was my safety school. I was thinking of going for a BFA in their Art and Tech program, but I have very little faith in it because it doesn't seem to have much focus in what I want to go into. Sure, their MFA animation program is pretty solid, but that won't happen for 4 more years, of course. So I'm not sure what to do. Even if I want to transfer to CCAD after the first year, I still may not be able to afford it and I'm not confident that all of the credits will transfer. I just want an education with worth. Any ideas? Other schools? Resources? I'm obviously very limited.
