I'm a RISD grad, and I also have a Masters. One thing is to debate getting a Masters or not – which it sounds like you weren't questioning and had your mind made up, yes?
As for where to go... I assume you have an undergrad degree? Where did you study and what is the degree in? I ask as I think this helps to inform a sound Masters decision.
For example, a good friend of mine who studied in the undergrad program with me at RISD was trying to decide between Yale's program and CalArts. He ended up at CalArts after much discussion – as Yale was basically more of the same kind of teching (and people) as RISD. Not bad, just not that different in approcah to a conceptual school.
Hit me up with an email and I can answer more questions about RISD – and also can put you in touch with a friend at CalArts currently.
