peacewithin

I understand your conflict. I was accepted to Purdue with a fully funded offer and TA. Yet, I decided to go to Cranbrook which will put me in the same debt. But I am happy with my decision. I know that it's wise to think financially today. Still I live only once, and to think what I'll gain from the school, makes all the difference for me.

I say VCU. Reputation and funding together.

No, I actually didn't put anything down, but the TA wasn't a guarantee. Takara1, I think you should hear from them in the next two-three weeks. Good luck!

Thank you, bubu2014, for your post. I tend to relate to your words. I am not religious, and I'm not sure ND's art department has anything to do with religion. That said...I'm not beginner, I had my time outside school, and I have some teaching experience. I know what I want to be and do, I know it has to be significant. I'm not alone, I have a partner that would help and support. I think I feel like Cranbrook. Thank you!

I didn't mean to confuse or panic anyone, I differed admission to ND last year. sorry!

I'm rich in mind...

to ceramics. really no question?

Hi All, New in the forum. I was accepted to Cranbrook with 30% need based scholarship and to the University of Notre Dame with full ride and TA of 1500$ a month. What to choose? any suggestions?
