<p>Are there any good art schools in college towns? I loved the campus feel of Pratt but would love to be in a small town not a big city. I’m looking in the northeast - 4 hours drive from Philadelphia.</p>
<p>Any financial considerations? What major do you plan on?</p>
<p>There’s the SUNYs. Lyme Academy of Fine Arts, New Hampshire Institute of Art, Pennsylvania College of Art and Design.</p>
<p>Have you looked into the art programs within the universities of these college towns? Or the smaller liberal arts colleges? You could still do a BFA there but also be integrated into the wider college body rather than being on the periphery.</p>
<p>Fortunately no financial constraints as my tuition is paid by tuition exchange. I really want the focus on practical art - not too much academic - but I would like a wider student body. Not sure what my major will be - probably photography but that might change after trying other art forms.</p>

<p>If cost is not an obstacle…how about Bard? </p>
<p>[Bard</a> College | Division of Arts](<a href=“http://arts.bard.edu/]Bard”>http://arts.bard.edu/)</p>
<p>Have you looked @ Alfred University? It has highly ranked BFA and MFA programs and is in a very small town that is centered around the university and SUNY Alfred that is across the street.</p>
