I have been accepted to SAIC and SCAD for BFA in fashion. I cannot decided which school to go even after my visit.

One of the biggest reasons that I am considering SAIC is the interdisplenary courses they offer. I feel like that I would learn a lot in that school. My current art teacher also says this course would be beneficial. SAIC also has the AIC museum as a resource which I like. However, compare to SCAD, SAIC is not ranked very high in any fashion rankings. And as I reserched, SCAD seems to have a stronger career development program as well as a more developed fashion program. Plus, I have received some scholarship from SCAD. In terms of location, I definitely like Chicago better that Savannah since it is a bigger city. But if I do go to SCAD, I would have the choices to go to any of its campuses including Atlanta or Hong Kong.

In general, I really like SAIC’s interdisplenary courses but SCAD’s high ranked fashion program must have its reason. So I just want to know how important each factor is for choosing school.
