Thank you all for some good input. I currently have a B.A. in graphic design and have been accepted to these two schools. I understand the qualities of each school and am now in the position of deciding. The main decision factor really comes as what is going to benefit me and my career most fittingly as well as serving my family. As someone said they both are not bad choices. I agree, that is why I've applied to both. One thing I noticed is a rival in exposure to traditional artmaking versus contemporary, future thought. I love the fact that RISD has a solid foundation and has great facilities in letterpress, screenprinting and bookmaking. CalArts has these too, but at a different level. My one thought and concern is if I move to RISD and generate sound relationships and rapport with faculty and students, will those relationships deplete shall I move back to LA.
Thanks again.
