| janbeach: I would also suggest SUNY New Paltz if you are looking for studio art. The campus is very nice, cool college town, easy bus and train ride to NYC to visit museums etc, really great art program and facilities, offer BFA, BS and BA in art. Tuition is reasonable even for OS. The campus is much prettier than Purchase IMO. Greater depth in program than many LAC. Although we did find Skidmore and Bard have a strong depth of program as well. Bard had recently purchased a huge warehouse type building for upper level art students. Tuition was the deciding factor for us! Also, CMU in Pittsburg has a great art program in a small university setting, but again $$$. Best of luck! |
