are you an international? if not what is your background, where you grow up, what is your medium, what you mean by fine art?
it is rare, if ever undergrad art kids can be taken seriously at any “art scenes”
I am not talking about open street art gathering or coffeeshops galleries.
You seem to imply serious commercial recognition.
I know it happened say, in Japan when I was a student. the hype was ridiculous. we all dreamed, crashed or some rode it high then fell, never to hear from again.
It won’t work like that here. esp. NYC.
It does not really matter where you do UG. you should look for the best fit, not where it is located.
If you want to go see shows or just want to be around people and things “happening” big cities are better than little ones but you’d be too busy if you are serious student to do much anyway while doing UG.
have you ever try Cooper Union?
maybe the one and only UG institution could give what you are looking for.
