Some of these might have been mentioned, but I don’t think so–
Syracuse–amazing art program
Tufts–and it has a unique museum program/ art orientation
Cornell (Ithaca is a large town or small city, very nice)
Ithaca college – lots of art here.
U of Rochester
RIT–interesting art majors there;
RPI–some art
Union College
Alfred–yes to art including one of the best ceramics programs.
Colgate (in a small town . . . . )
Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken and a short ferry ride to NYC)–some arty stuff here among the tech
Rutgers
Quinnipiac
Connecticut college
Someone mentioned Vassar but its visual arts program isn’t as well developed as other arts programs there.
Did someone mention Clark?
