<p>I applied to a few schools and I’ve gotten into most of them. However, I didn’t get into my top choice and so now I am stuck with 5 schools left over. I managed to cut one off the list but I’m still stuck between 4 and they are Alfred University, Cornell College (in Iowa), Ohio State University, and University of Cincinnati.<br>
Cost isn’t an issue and I live in Ohio but I’m trying to pick the school with a good design program (graphic and/or illustration). I got into UC’s DAAP program but I am told that there’s a heavy amount of work and I won’t have a lot of other time on my hands and so I am troubled by that advice. None of the schools absolutely stand out to me to the extent that I love it (like my top choice did anyway but that doesn’t matter). Cornell had a rather intriguing academic program.</p>
<p>But anyway, what I’m trying to do is pick a school that has a good academic program, good design program and have Japanese language classes. I am trying to aim for a double major in Design and Japanese if possible. And also even better if the school offers study abroad in Japan.
I’m not really looking for people to pick a school for me but rather I’m trying to figure out the pros and cons of the schools and if anybody has some firsthand experience, it’d be even better.</p>
