SVA or CalArts for MFA Photography


Recommended Posts

I got into CalArts's and SVA's MFA Photography program this year, but I'm struggling with the final decision.
 
To me, New York seems to be a better place to study contemporary photography and has more chances to find a job, but overall CalArts has a better reputation on this program but is located in a relatively poor location (Valencia, 30mi away from center of LA) to develop photography as an art, have a lively social life and find a well-paid job after graduation (I could be wrong about CalArts, though). P.S., SVA offers me 3-year admission and CalArts is regular 2-year. And neither provides any scholarships, tuitions are quite similar but living in New York cost about 1/3 more and needs an extra half a year to a year.
 
Any additional information or suggestion will be appreciated! Thanks.
