<p>I went to MICA’s (Maryland Institute College of Art) summer program when I was in HS. IT WAS AMAZING. I chose it rather than RISD or Parsons because it was cheaper – and I liked the trip opportunities included - for instance, each class went to New York for a weekend. I ended up with a good portfolio by summer’s end, and a scholarship offer. I’m not going to an Art School for University… but loved MICA.</p>
