location and environment?

<p>hey everyone,
I’m new here :slight_smile:
I’m a junior in high school and right now I’m only considering going to art school.
However, I notice that most of them are in huge urban areas. I’ve lived on a horse farm for the past 7 years, and when i do go into the city, it’s suburban San Antonio. i’m not a fan of high rises, or urban atmosphere.
Can anyone recommend any art schools that are in quiet, attractive areas?
I don’t care if they’re international, either.
For example, i’ve just finished looking up Wimbledon College (part of U. of A London), and it’s very, very pretty, but I don’t know much about it’s rep. On the other hand, Central Saint Martin’s has a very big reputation but the location is cruddy, in my opnion.</p>

<p>rocky mountain college of art
also check out [AICAD</a> - A Directory of Leading Art & Design Schools](<a href=“http://www.aicad.org/]AICAD”>http://www.aicad.org/) because it has a list of the art schools </p>

<p>you might want to consider SCAD as well, depending on how you feel about accredidation because while Savannah is a city there are park squares everywhere, and it’s very much a “college town”. Not really high-rise central, very laid back and southern but still a lot to do.</p>

<p>also, Ringling in Sarasota

<p>should’ve been more specific,
i’m looking for fashion design.
neither RMC or RCAD have it,
and SCAD is…eh.
thanks though :)</p>

<p>The RISD area of Providence has a nice small-city, residential quality.</p>
