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..
