There are also some LAC’s such as Vassar and Williams with excellent studio art facilities. Williams has an endowment of 1.3 bil, which enables them to offer need-based scholarships that none of the art schools can match. CMU also can be generous with both merit and need based aid.
As RISD has a nice sized endowment this doesn’t filter down to the students who qualify but are not offered any aid. Top LAC’s have tried to diversify their campus both economically and culturally so not to have a campus of only rich students. Hopefully this practice will permeate the better art schools as well.
