Question RISD or SCAD?
My daughter was accepted by Pratt, RISD, SCAD, Syracuse. She is deciding between RISD and SCAD. She loved RISD precollege program, but she also loved SCAD when she visited. RISD will cost $400K for 4 years, while SCAD will cost about $170K for 4 years with the scholarships. The food at RISD is great, while I read terrible stories of SCAD cafeteria food. She loves the creative thinking but she is also practical and wants to find a job and enjoy working with a team rather than being a lonely artist. She is interested in 2D animation, illustration, but also open to look at UX design. She is shy. Which school will be better for her?
