i want to major in art at school, and thats kind of a general goal so i need help figuring out a few other schools besides the one I'm going to apply to (U Southern Maine)...

are there any Northeast schools that have good art programs but are not Sky-High tuition ? (I'd prefer to stay in the NE area). I'd be out of state, currently living in WA.

Below is random stats so as to see what kind of student i am.
