Good news! You're at the right place!



Bad news!! You've gotta go through the threads



I'm in Sheridan myself though. But there are lots of schools for you depending on your budget and location. If you ask me you don't need to be in the best school to push yourself. You can be in the best school, but still not be the best if you have limited passion.

Damn! You want us to do it all for you don't you!

It's such a personal choice as far as what field you're going to feel comfortable in.

Here's a link to some major art schools.

Things to consider would be the current student work on the walls- does it kick your ass? Will you be challenged there? What about the alumni from that place? Are they IN the field they attended school for (Taco Bell doesn't count as being employed after college)? The school's alumni base is your ticket to the life beyond school.

Good luck.
