UCSD Visual Arts Program

[drip]

Hello fellow aspiring MFA's,

I was wondering if any of you know a thing or two about the UCSD program. I was admitted with a very nice financial package and am heavily leaning towards their program.

However, the location- as pleasant as it maybe- is a bit out of the circle for me. Also, the program seems large, with over 50 students. I was looking for a smaller program but those are usually very expensive and/or very competitive to get into.

I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!

And good luck.

I've heard good things about it. Couple of questions though, what do you mean out of the circle? Like you grew up in snow and now you will be located in the sun?

Also, 50 students is less than what UCLA has. How small of a program did you want? For me, it seems that the small the program is (which I don't even really think matters in a university setting) the less networking opportunities you have.
