RISD, SAIC, CCA, CalArts

[atrawickb]

they are all pure art schools (not part of a large, wide-ranging university like ucla or yale) with solid reputations.

hypothetically, if funding were not part of your decision (lol), and if you were to be accepted to all 4 programs (in painting), where would you go? in what order? and why?

so far, i'm thinking:

1. risd

2. chicago

3. calarts

4. cca

(i haven't gotten the letter yet one way or the other from calarts, have already been accepted at cca, and have interviewed at risd and saic and am waiting on their decision)
