<p>Just a note: MassArt (not one on your list) has a glass blowing program – large and impressive. I think many of the art colleges highlight an ability to take courses at other nearby schools, most notably RISD. But students giving tours have said that it is difficult to fit it in your schedule and then hard to get in the class (you don’t have priority at the liberal arts school). I’m pretty sure I’m right about illustration at Pratt (it being a major), but by all means verify that!!! You can always take liberal arts courses locally over the summer at home as a non-matriculating student – just a thought.</p>
