RIT or VCU?

Have you visited the two campuses? We visited RIT and found the classrooms and studios for the School of Film & Animation (& I think some of the design majors, they seem to have regrouped some majors since D looked at it) to be impressive but weren’t enthused with the studio spaces and art on display in the School of Art (which Illustration is a major). This was about 3 years ago and studio space was very small and limited compared to all the other colleges visited. RIT is a great school for a lot of things and it makes sense that they’re putting more emphasis on the ‘tech’ side of art, but be forewarned and it’s worth taking a look.

We had the regular tour (which highlights the great animation studios) but also requested one of the art departments where we saw classrooms and studios for the fine arts.
