@momcinco This is very helpful. Thanks. (She visited Yale recently, but I don’t think she saw that some of the colleges have studio space. That’s cool.) She is not interested in any dedicated art schools–eg., RISD, MICA, etc.–because she wants a school with complete academic offerings, in addition to a strong art program. (She wants the option to explore other subjects–which it sounds like your son is doing too. But, she also wants to be at a school where there is a meaningful community of students dedicated to studio art and an opportunity to go “deep”. (Rather than a school with just a few good art classes that students majoring in other subjects take as electives.) She hasn’t decided if she wants to do a BFA or BA–and she’s looking at both options. (Her list includes universities like Syracuse, Temple and Carnegie Mellon–as well as some LACs with art departments where she got a good feeling.)
