I am from South America and I want to do my MFA in the US. I have no idea how you guys applied for undergrad programs, the amount of choices are...overwhelming. However, thanks to me being poor and a international student (i don't think they give me funding) my choices are quite limited. I narrowed my list of universities to a small number that I could afford (less than 40k a year including living expenses). Maybe my list is all shity schools and not worth it, but I have no idea because every school seems to sell itself very well online. This is where I need your help... I ask you gradcafe, are these schools worth it? or hell no?
Brooklyn College
University of Houston
Virginia Commonwealth University
University of Wisconsin
California State University - Long Beach
Sandiego State University
Hunter College - CUNY
Arizona State University
Indiana University Bloomington
Montclair State University
Rutgers
I listed them (cheapest - expensive) per year. Maybe you guys are laughing because I am so off...probably. I am also not considering if its a good place to live, the vibe is nice or if there is an art scene. I mean, apart from NY and Cali, I really have no idea what the other states are like. :/
Also, I am going for figurative painting.... there was another post but all the listed schools were very very expensive.
