<p>@Jonri, yes NYC is the attraction. That is mainly the location of the schools I would be interested in attending.</p>
<p>@Madaboutx Thanks for suggesting Pratt. I have heard of it, but haven’t looked into it too much. I’ll do that now :)</p>
<p>I know I don’t have to be NYC-based to make a good living, but that is where I would like to reside, so the abundance of opportunities in the art culture (culture might not be the right word, maybe community is better) make it convenient.</p>
<p>And no, I don’t plan on taking out ANY student loans. If my parents refuse, then I’ll just have to suck it up and go to a Florida school.</p>
