Hi, I just got admitted by the graduate program of Academy of Art University and Syracuse University. Illustration major. Syracuse University gives me a 60% tuition scholarship. And I am still waiting for SVA and MICA's decision. If they reject me, I may choose from AAU and SU.
I heard both pros and cons of AAU, mostly are bad sides. I love the commercial, the location and the courses, seems very practical. I may have more job opportunities after I graduate. But they don't offer scholarship or TA for international students, and I am not sure about the teaching quality and school reputation.
I know little about Syracuse University, and I don't know much about its illustration major. The location seems a big thing to me, I don't like the freezing cold weather. But I read some comments, someone said SU has a very strong illustration program, I hope anyone who can give me some more useful details.
Would you mind give me some advice? Or any forums like Gradcafe that I can get more information? Thanks!
