Hi out there,
haven´t really found much about Industrial Design grads in this blog, so would love to hear your opinion about my issue here.
I´m from Europe, finishing my Industrial Design studies here next summer and am a Candidate of the Fulbright Scholarship.
I may only apply to 4 schools for fall 2013, so need to take following points into consideration:
-Program quality (not always easy to find out, as I am unfortunately not able to visit the schools)
-Network provided/teachers
-Costs (I will get 25 000 dollars scholarship, the rest to finance on my own)
-Location
Costwise, I might just be able to do one year, not finishing the degree (I already have kind of a Masters/ 5 years design study)
That´s my list so far:
Expensive ones:
Art Center Pasadena
Rhode Island School of Design (good reputation, but portfolios I have seen didn´t blow me away)
NYC School of Visual Arts (Products of Design)
Stanford
California College of the Arts
(Pratt)
Cheaper ones:
Arizona State University
University of Philadelphia
University of Savannah
(North Carolina State)
Grateful for any advice- Experiences/Funding/ etc..
