SCAD's not actually a bad school, but it is in a really bad area. ******** Boston, SCAD is dangerous. I always reccommend RSAD, but that's just because keratin and psytoasty both go there, and I lived there illegally in the dorms for a while. RSAD: A Good School.

What kind of art do you want to do?
If you want to do graphic design type stuff, go to Rhode Island. If you want to do Computer Animation, Ringling is the only way to fly (unless you're French).
If you want to do illustration, specifiy what kind (Editorial, Concept Art, Gallery Painter... etc.)
If you want to do fine art, the last thing you should do is go to art school. Instead, you should go to a lot of fancy parties and rub elbows with all the right fancy people. You should then produce some s**t that's just weird enough that no one will understand it.

Academy of Art Univ. In San Francisco is good for a lot of stuff
They have a lot of ties to the industry itself too, so they get great grad employment last time I checked
The work load is immense though, so if you're not super-serious about art, you'll be overwhelmed; they have a pretty high freshman drop-out rate.

TELEKITTY Pratt is really really realalylallealrealyll pretentious seriously everyone thinks they're ******** andy ******** warhol and it's insufferable. most of my profs are really excellent though, so still keep considering it. I go to Pratt but i'm not a pretentious b***h. Maybe in the fine arts department, but i wouldn't know. Actually the only kids that don't really mesh with everyone else is the Fashion students and the architecture students. The architecture moreso because they're always in the studio. Aside from that, Pratt is a fairly good school. All of the profs are working professionals, and we are one of the top two art schools in the East Coast, the other being RISD. Besides that, most of the schools you listed are pretty good, some just push in different ways. I know that SVA makes alot of its illustration students enter Society of Illustration cometitions as assignments, which i never though of as a good thing, while here at Pratt you enter stuff like that at your own leasure. Not to say that nobody from here gets into the Society, as a friend of mine will have one of his paintings displayed there at some point. The only places i wouldn't reccomend going to are any of the Art Institute schools. They're this rather odd 'chain art school' and has campuses everywhere. I always thought they were kind of sketchy, pun unintended.

Though many of the art institutes are chop shops, Chicago Art Institute is not.
Also, it is to my information that Savannah College of Art and Design is actually a bad school. A very bad school. Here's a little story about Savannah.
If you have a heartbeat, you've already been accepted to SCAD. If you're able to stick a pencil up your nose and carve out a portfolio on a napkin, you've already been accepted to SCAD on scholarship. The scholarship doesn't actually make the school less expensive than the alternatives. The school just starts with a ridiculously high tuition and then the scholarship brings it down to a mere "god damn that's expensive" level. The scholarship makes people feel good about themselves (feel wanted), and the crazy high intitial tuition makes people think the school must be really good. So every year, about eight thousand little artists are churned through SCAD.
Of those eight thousand, a few of them have a modicum of skill. These kids get whored out like nobodies business. The rest become waiters.
The one nice thing about going to SCAD is that so many damn kids have gone to SCAD, there's a good chance some guys in your target industry are also SCAD grads. Still, they might hate the school, and know how shitty it's average skill level is and never hire you in a million years.

What does anyone think of CalArts? I'm kind of interested in either the advertising or fine arts program at SanFran, but more interested in the illustration program at CalArts.
