Anyone goto MCAD in Minneapolis, MN? It is right next to the Art Institute if I remember.
I have heard good things about this school. I am thinking of their MFA Graphic Design program. Any takers?

pretty acurate actually.

i understand that MCAD is very good - only toured it a few yrs back, but have heard of many "hired" folks that came out of there

art school in general is bs concept in a way. i dont know, its hard to say really. i did graphic design at my school for a while, but i didnt have the drawing and painting skills to keep up with everyone esle who had an art background in high school. i am now majoring in the production side of graphics, and it fits. but kudos to all who sweat ink, paint, and canvas. its hard way to go, but i commend all the true artists.

I have to disagree about art school being bs.
