My daughter started as a freshman last week at School of the Art Institute of Chicago. As an international student, travel was limited during her apps process, so we only got to tour it a few days before Orientation. I was personally very impressed with the facilities, but more so with the School’s interdisciplinary curriculum. While I was there I visited the Arts Institute - literally in the School’s backyard so to speak - and viewed the visiting Cartier-Bresson exhibit. That the students have this vast resource available to them was just staggering to me.

As I understand it, not only is SAIC a top-ranking school for graduate studies in art and design, its photography program is singled out along with those for Illustration/Painting and Writing as a particularly strong program.

The website just doesn’t do the school justice. Good luck and I hope that helps.
