What can you tell me about AMDA?

I’m torn between the BFA program or the Intergrated one… With the BFA program I will hold an actual degree (and please my parents by doing so) but I don’t know if all my credits will transfer over. However, if I decide on the Intergrated program, my plan is to get a BA in English online through community college. Either way, though, it’s the L.A. campus at least for the first year.

So far, though, my biggest concern is tuition… I refuse to pay all in student loans as that is completely insane. For FASFA, I know for ASU I was only given fifty-five hundred, which covered my housing; my parents could cover tuition. Now of course is a different matter entirely and while there are scholarships, websites for them aren’t any help… As far as grants go, I do not qualify for much anything as my parents are small business owners and therefore we own property… Even my dad being on disability, the state doesn’t care.

Speaking as parents, how did you offer to help your daughters? Or were you like my own mother and said, “If you want it, you need to find funding yourself”?
