Really? I haven't decided yet as I said. Thanks for you info. It is real expensive attending an art college anywhere...
I was looking for an art college/university in/around virginia... I hunted down one www.massart.edu.
Which univerisity you attended by the way? what's the procedure... as an International student I have to take up TOEFL as well... and some other stuff you know...

Art is a Science or Science is an Art? I'm confused!

okay as an update

chicago school of art and design did a college visist here and i got some 1 on 1 time with the rep. to show him my portfolio.

He also showed me some portfolio's of students that got scholorships... now this may just be how chicago does it, but chicago is HUGE in my eyes for art..

but i started off by showing him my sketch/hand stuff from class mostly (perspective shading etc.etc.) and he was like yeah yeah work from class then i showed him all the computer/photoshop stuff i do on my own, and he flipped over the stuff i thought he'd ignore.. what he loved was the grunge/abstract multi layer multi color stuff, he said it had a chance to get a scholorship.. i showed him some of my paintings

and he said they were good, real looking and all, but weren't artistic, i even had some incredible landscapes i've made in some 3d progs and he said about the same thing

and the portfolios he showed me that got scholorships weren't really, realistic/or well fine arts drawn, they were abstract creative some cartoony some anime style with lotsa random lines and stuff...

i don't know- but it looks like i'ma try to get into chicago hardcore now.

i got in all my colleges and universities that applied to (all 12) handing in portfolio's with film, photo manipulations, photoshop artworks and NO HAND WORK AT ALL. If you get an interview with them, you HAVE to have drawing skills though. luckily I was good enough. i'll post my portfolio and on how to make it good. don't spend $300 on prints by the way, use your own printer, print on good paper, not your regular. photo paper is good to print on.

you are the man frooty, i'd LOVE to see what you handed in all info i can get is helpful :-)
