SFU / Parsons (Canada / USA)

[caitlinanne]

Hi All,

I've been accepted to both the Interactive Arts and Technology program at Simon Fraser U. (Surrey) and the Design and Technology program at Parsons (NYC). Does anyone have advice or information about the reputation of these schools + prospects for doing well in the field post-graduation? SFU is quite a bit less expensive but I've heard from a lot of people that the name recognition from Parsons will be worth it (plus I'm more excited about / feel more aligned with the program at Parsons...).

I haven't heard much about SFU IA+T grads in the working world (I know some successful designers and artists who've gone to Parsons) so if anyone has thoughts I'd much appreciate it!
