Thank you and congratulations! Great options.
I work at our local flagship state school, where tuition is free. So we’ll likely be in a similar dilemma a year from now.
This may or may not matter to you or your daughter, but one factor that’s important to us is each school’s study-away and study-abroad programs. We’ll be considering some LACs, and one way to counterbalance the broadness of the liberal arts education is for the kid to study at an actual art school for a semester or two. For example, a number of schools allow kids to study at the University of Arts London or the Glasgow School or Art. Other schools have programs with actual art schools. Wesleyan, for instance, lets students study at Parsons in NYC for a semester.
I can personally attest that the UC Education Abroad Program is (or at least was) fantastic, although I’m not sure if it has any art school options.
