art colleges in

I'm researching art education for my son. He'd like to go into illustration. He's planning to apply for scholarships to some art colleges (specifically Columbus College of Art and Design) but if he doesn't get any scholarships then we're going to need a more economical alternative. Are there any other colleges particularly in Ohio that have an art program that would be a good alternative? Kent? Ohio University? BGSU? Also what would we need to take into consideration if he ends up attending a state school at least to start and then potentially transferring to CCAD?Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom! Quote from Jason Manley: "Where you choose to go to art school is less important than bringing an attitude of "doing whatever it takes" to learn about art to where you are studying." That isn't to say that who you learn from isn't important but some people get that mentality of "I can't be a good artist if I don't go to a good school." Which is absolutely untrue. So don't let him fret if he does end up attending a state school. There is an abundance of information here on CA org especially that can help him improve independently to supplement what he learns in schoolI would suggest having him start out doing a lot of the general education/core classes like his English. Art history etc courses that most schools require out of the way at a state school if CCAD is too expensive at first. He can check with a CCAD advisor to get a list of courses at a state school that would transfer to CCAD. Doing that will also give him a year or two to polish his portfolio get a high GPA and he'll be in a better position to receive both academic and artistic scholarships. There's also the FAFSA. The Pell Grant can provide around $4,000 a year that you don't have to pay back and the Stafford Loan (if you opt to take it since it has a fixed low interest rate) is better than any sort of private loan you could get. It's also deferred for a few months after graduation in order to give him time to get a job and save some money. Also have him sign up at. It's a site that has a big collection of independent scholarships and he can type in his intended major background info etc and they will bring up a list of scholarships he is eligible for. A lot of them are essay competitions art contests etc but it can't hurt to see what they offer. I got about 1/3 of my scholarship money via essay contests from that site. Just have him keep in mind that no matter where he goes it's what he does outside of class that will make or break his ability to succeed in the art field. Best of luck! That's funny because I'm moving back to Ohio and I'm asking pretty much the same questions. I'm going for animation but the fundamentals of art are important in any art-related major/occupation. Which should be obvious but to some people is not. Anyways. I'm an Iraq War Veteran and just recently was told that the state of Ohio(my homestate) is allowing all veterans to have free tuition at any state school. And so far from the research I've been doing. BGSU and OSU look to have the best art programs to me personally. Now that doesn't necessarily mean anything for your son since everyone is different. I'd say take him to several different schools let him check it out see what he thinks of the equipment professors student artwork. Just get a general feel of the place but make sure you're getting quality too. Something else someone suggested to me is that sometimes places like CCAD and College for Creative Studies in Detroit have agreements with local community colleges for people to start their general studies and basic art classes there and for those credits to be transfered to their institution. This will help cut the extreme costs of private art schools. Have him check out Cleveland Institute of Art as well. Hope this helps! We're already signed up at fastweb but so far I've mostly been using it to narrow down colleges themselves. I'll have to start investigating the scholarships more. (Between band school and work he's not had much time to do research himself so I've been narrowing stuff down with lots of input from him. Don't want you to get the impression that he's not involved!)We've both read the thread on the realities of going to art school that's stickied here which was a great resource!I was just wondering if there were any non-art schools that had a better reputation for art than others. Thanks for the input!

I'm currently going to CSCC (columbus state community college) and am studying graphic design but I'm looking at transferring to CCAD. I know for a fact that CSCC does transfer credits to both OSU and CCAD. Though. CSCC is pretty lacking in terms of art classes. I dunno if it was this quarter that was lacking but the art section was bare. On the plus side. Gene one of my Graphic Design teachers started some beginner courses for Painter (he got the department to buy 27 Intuos3 6x8's and 27 licenses of Painter X) and he is looking to expand it to more advanced classes as well. I learned on this site last night that CIA is more oriented to Industrial Design and not so great for illustration. Still might visit there though especially if anyone has a dissenting opinion on the weakness of the illustration program there!We've visited several places already but really only CCAD for art. (The other visits were to Shawnee State and Ohio University but were scheduled primarily for his brother for digital simulation and video game design. Even the art guy at Shawnee State said that they weren't the place for a 'serious' artist and we simply ran out of time while at OU and didn't make it to the art department. I may schedule a visit specifically to the art department at OU just so we can make an informed decision about it.)Columbus State Community College DOES have an agreement with CCAD for those who are attending CCAD. I still need to check out that relationship from the CSCC side of things as that's also another potential school for his brother as well. (I'm having to do the college search x2 if you hadn't picked up on that!) I did learn that CSCC and CCAD are on different academic systems (one has quarters the other semesters.. can't remember which has which) and our guide wasn't sure how all that worked out given that fact! Something else I need to research further. I was about to suggest the same thing.

I think it's great what you're doing for your children it's more than my parents did for me x10!! They both seem to want to have exciting careers in the art/gaming industries and your involvment in that will help a ton. Both ARE serious careers with a potential for great success they just have to push themselves. But yes concept art and illustration and gaming are all separate careers. I'd just like to applaud you for being so involved and supportive of your sons' career choices. Not many parents are enthusiastic when they realize their child wants to "make games" for a living. I find it difficult to hold an educated conversation with my family about my plans for the future which I'm hoping will involve concept art for the entertainment industry. Anyway good luck on the college search. I hope everything works out. Yeah. I don't remember my parents getting too involved with my education other than to gripe about how much college might cost. Partly as a result of that I never have worked in the field I have my degree in. I don't recall ever really being asked what I wanted to do.. just being told what would be a good field to go into. With my boys I've asked them extensive questions about what they want to do.. but also assured them that if they find themselves wanting to do something different later then that's fine too. I just don't want them to be the kids who upon graduating from high school. 'think' they'd like 'to do something with their art'.. but don't have any sort of plan. So many of their friends don't seem to have much family support or encouragement. I've also seen a nephew enroll at a high dollar school only to run out of money before graduation and now isn't attending anywhere. I WANT to believe that we'll find the money somehow but also want to make the finances as low-impact as possible especially since there are two of them starting college at the same time!I worry sometimes that I'm doing too much of the 'search' for them but really sorting through all this has been information overload for ME. Even though they're fairly mature and capable I think it would be just too much for them to make sense of all by themselves at this stage of their lives. Oh and I've had a few raised eyebrows when I mention that my one son wants to do game development. I point out that there is hardly a major news story these days that don't have some sort of computer generated recreation of events or graphic of some sort. Land on Mars? There's simulated footage of the landing. Natural disaster? Simulated footage of the sequence of events. Documentary on fireworks? Simulated footage of how a firework explodes. Granted most of my examples are more animation but those are just the most visible examples. More and more training stuff is interactive simulations. The guy at Ohio University was telling how they were developing interactive software for junior high kids to do virtual science experiments. The sorts of things that there's just going to be more of not less. Most of the time I don't even let people get as far as questioning my sons desire to develop games. I explain why it's a good field and leave it at that!Plus I made my son promise that he'd develop some games geared towards people like his little sisters. The Game Design program is actually pretty good from what I hear. Though I haven't taken any classes in it myself they have classes for the big 3D gen software such as maya and all those. I went to a seminar last year and there were a number of game design schools that were going to be allowing for CSCC credits to be transferring to them and that were putting stock in general into CSCC. It's a good stepping stone to get your son's abilities honed in that respect. As far as the art section of CSCC goes. I don't want to sound negative but it is pretty lacking in practical means especially. I mean they have the art history classes and the beginning drawing class and a colour composition class which will be useful but that's about it. The Beginning painting class while it's on the roster has not been taught even once. It's not that they don't have teachers for it because they do or that they don't have the demand for it because it is there; there's been numerous petitions passed around in fact just to try to get the class actually added but CSCC just won't put it on. We're trying another petition this year to see if they'll add it to the registry so that people can sign up for it but it's doubtful at this point... All the credits do transfer over though that way your sons can take care of all the filler classes required for their major and then just focus on the game design classes and art classes when they do transfer over to their respective colleges. So is the art department at BGSU pretty well thought of?I have to admit that my sons biggest stumbling block at the moment is his portfolio. I didn't realize until about a year ago that he wanted to major in art in college and I had NO IDEA how important a portfolio was!Add in the fact that he's rarely had time in his school schedule for an art class and that equals 'not many finished pieces'. So while he sketches fairly constantly he's not so great at the moment on following through to completed drawings.. he's just rarely had deadlines to meet thus far. Unless he gets cracking there is no way he's going to have an adequate portfolio by the time that scholarship deadlines roll around hence my search for a state university with a good reputation for art to get him started at. All part of the maturing process as I see it. . is a place I myself was considering at first. I was looking into their Digital Arts program. However after speaking with a student VERY extensively about that program. I decided against it. He had informed me that the professors were lacking to say the least. They have no industry experience. They only teach the software which anyone can easily learn on their own. And none of them even LIKE animation. Now with a program that has an animation track does that make any sense to you? And keep in mind this student was one of the top graduating students who won a national animation award with two other classmates not some disgrunted drop out. The only thing he said that helped him reach his achievements was his own personal drive. Also if you look at the program itself it doesn't have very many traditional art classes which is not conducive to making a good animatior or game designer. As for the traditional art just take a look at the professors and students portfolios on the BGSU Art Dept's website. I personally wasn't very impressed. I'm leaning more towards the OSU side of things. We don't have very many choices in Ohio. I'm afraid. Goodl uck with everything though and please keep reporting back information on where you've been good and bad. super long... SORRY!Hi Mary Mary.. another Mom here went thru what you are dealing with last year. YOu are on a great site for info and hopefully the current students on here will be a sawesome for you as they were for us! Their insight is gold. One of the first things I would suggest is for your boys to attend a National Portfolio Day event,this is where they can show their works and get invaluable feedback from multiple colleges in one day I am in Illinois and Chicago's NPD was last weekend I believe. There are multiple locations you may have to travel but it is worth it. This event was awesome for my daughter as she coud ask specific questions on her major ( Computer Animation) and see if she was on the right track. We went the fall of Senior year but if kids can go Junior year all the better. You can show incomplete pieces having finished works are of course going to be more influential but these teachers/reps know exactly what to look for and can spot it instantly. Have your sons draw from direct observation as much as possible.. any artisit will benefit from that no down side at all. They can also get more info on their intended major literature it's also SO inspiring ot see all the incredible talent that is out there and also one of the first looks at the competition. My daughter applied and got into CCAD and was awarded a very nice scholarship based in her portfolio. The feed back she received at NPD was pretty influential in the pieces she chose to submit. It is also possible to be "pre-accepted" into a school at NPD or least it happened for us last year. Both Ringling( if she was going to major in Illustration) and CCAD accepted her based on her portfolio but of course notihing was final until transcripts essay etc were formally submitted. We struggled with State vs Art school to a point of such frustration that it was in effect taking a huge toll on our daughter. Even tho we have School of the Art Institute (SAIC)and Columbia College right here neither offered a competetive Computer Animation program. Back when out daughter was a sophomore she wrote to various companies asking what colleges they recruit from or could guide her in any way during a search for a reputable school that would give her a chance to be marketable in such a competitive field. There were some state schools in the mix but none were in Illinois so we were faced with out of state tuition or private art school tuirion.. both about the same insane cost. We had MANY long talks with our daughter over finances debt etc. and her basic stance was this: I can pay about $100,000 for a general degree at a state school that will not prepare me for the competition out there ( again she is CA )or go in another $50,000 and get the education I need. She chose the latter. She walked from a sizeable scholarship at CCAD because while for many majors the school is really good. Illustration and ID being 2 of them... it just did not offer a CA program that was a good match for her. I think your sons choice of Game Design is not an "eye-brow" raiser.. my daughters boyfriend is majoring in it ( also at Ringling) and it is very mainstream. You will find that MANY people still do not consider ANY form of art a REAL career. I myself majored in Illustration attended a state school and only AFTER graduating did I find how unprepared I was. I know individual talent and hard work is the key to being successful but I was beat out on many a job by a candidate who had more specialized training or came from an Art school. I learned then and there while MANY state school are doing their best and have incredible instructors certain majors just do not offer the same program/instruction/opportunities that the Art colleges can/do. Ii literally am the product of what my daughter is trying to avoid investing 100,000 and not be marketable or spend the extra and at least have a fair chance. I think if your sons are interested in Art Education writing the Business of Art things of that nature state schools can be VERY competitive... but not always in something like Game Design. There are differences in Game Art and Game Design also so again have your sons (S) speak with the different departments to see which is the better fit. From what we found. BGSU was pretty decent. I would still shoot for CCAD however their Media Studies program was sort of too broad for our DD not specific enough for CA. They did add a CA major this year but since it is the 1st year for it our daughter chose to attend Ringling ( plus it was just a better fit for her overall and she loves it). Also of all the schools we looked at our daughters 2nd choice was our Community College. She was almost going to attend but once she maed it into Ringlings CA program she was not going to risk her acceptance and she was so excited that there was no looking back. She still says tho that the Community collge art department was by far more impressive and current dealing with reality than most colleges. One BIG thing I would look at is the Internship opportunities that ANY college can offer. These will be key to the future success of your son. And to make sure they actually do want to work in what they are majoring in. Ask student s when you visit what they think. Do they feel instructors are available to them outside of class size of the school is important so they get one on one feedback etc. Environment is also a biggie. I mean if he is not going to be happy in his environment it can hamper his success. You mention band so a plus to state school is having band as a continueing option.. many art schools do not offer the traditional college experience but they do offer being able to take classes in your inteneded major pretty much by sophomore year some sooner. Another thing to look at is the Gen Eds required in each major at each school is a school a flat rate tuition or by class... it can be overwhelming and then the competition to get in. Our daughter was fighting for one of about 100 slots for her major so next time someone thinks that Art Schoool is not like trying to get into Harvard well it's all relative. It's expensive. VERY expensive. If your son is not pretty darn sure. I agree with the Community College approach many class sizes are smaller and it is a great way to learn time management and how to juggle multiple projects and get used to 2-3 hour studios classes. Good Luck and I hope some of this helped a little. Pam Just giving a little update:As I mentioned before one of the biggest stumbling blocks for my son at the moment is a lack of portfolio. He REALLY needs to get that in order because he essentially has NOTHING other than his sketch book. He has quite a few half-finished things but other than that... I've decided (and shared with him this feeling) that until he gets a portfolio together there's no clear path. I hate to pay even what a state college would charge (room and board and all that) without a clear idea of which art department would be an asset. Unfortunately none of the community colleges that are accessible to us (CSCC being one. Marion OSU and Marion Tech being others) appear to have an art department with any depth at all. One other. Clark State in Springfield seems to have a glitch with their website at the moment and I can't access it. In contrast if my son moved in with my mom who lives two hours north of us (my dad died this past summer so him living with her would mean that neither of them was living alone) there would be four options for community college. Mansfield OSU. North Central State (also in Mansfield). BGSU Firelands (in Huron.. which is where I attended college) and Lorain County CC. The Mansfield schools are out.. no discernable art department at those based on the course offerings.. a few classes but ONLY a few. Firelands has more but Lorain CCC appears to offer the most art classes of them all. (After learning that CSCC has art classes that are listed.. but not held... I HAVE emailed them asking about whether or not the classes actually happen.)So.. unless he gets his portfolio spiffed up dramatically in the next few months then I think he's going to be spending a year with grandma (or if they get sick of each other his dad owns a house in the same area that's currently empty) and taking as many art classes at LCCC as he possibly can. He could probably knock out a few other basic college classes too but truthfully. I want him to spend his time primarily on his art if it comes to that. I'm resigned to the fact that if he did get into an art school the following year he would probably still need to attend for the full four years but that's fine. I'm not worried about how much might transfer to CCAD or wherever. Also if he just doesn't get his portfolio spiffed up enough in a year then he's going to need to reassess exactly what direction he wants to go from there anyway. If he's simply unable to work against a deadline and get pieces finished then he's never going to make it as a professional artist anyway. I wish now that I'd insisted that he take art all four years in high school and had I realized that he wanted to be a professional artist I might have.. it would have given him more experience getting stuff finished AND he'd have some pieces for the portfolio. As things are he's only been able to fit a couple of semesters of art into his class schedule so far. He's at band.. just got home from the state final marching band competition at 12:30 in the morning. Many evenings he works until 10:00 or 11:00pm. Saturday mornings and afternoons are devoted to art classes. Tomorrow evening he has what may be his LAST marching band performance ever because their HS football team made the playoffs and they're going to play at half-time. If the football team doesn't win then marching band will officially be DONE. He's not really had the time to even get online for weeks now. When he is home he spends much of his time sketching. Meanwhile. I'm trying to get some college visits lined up while I have some time in my schedule and am trying to pin down where to schedule visits at. (We've been to CCAD already and a couple of state universities although those were mostly for his brother.) I was seeking input on WHERE to schedule some other college visits at.. if there were state universities that were more desirable than others in the art department. Next week his schedule will be free of twice a week after school band practices. Friday night football games and Saturday band contests. He really enjoys marching band but it does take huge chunks of time. Several times he's been late to band on a Saturday so he could get his full art time in and has also skipped some other activities he was looking forward to also to devote time to art. But online time? Just hasn't happened lately except in very small increments! I've been learning all I can online and as soon as he comes in the door I pounce on him and tell him everything I've learned and ask for his input etc. Believe me.. sometimes I feel like I might be doing too much of the legwork for him.. but seriously there just has not been time in his schedule up to now. Next week and from now on his plan is that the time previously spent in band is going to be devoted to working on his portfolio. I've even discussed whether or not he needs to quit his job to spend more time on his portfolio. And I'm the one who WANTED him to get a job!!! A concept artist isn't an animator. It helps to have an understanding of animation (and to that end we include one semester of classical animation). There are very few programs that teach the combination of traditional fine art illustration and concept specific courses that he'll need. In my view he should start by getting a strong grounding in traditional fine art skills. For video games he will be aiming for proficiency in trad representational painting. As far as computer skills are concerned while he'll need to understand Maya he will mainly use Photoshop. These careers by the way will be based on professionalism creativity and knowledge and skill. No one will care about diplomas or degrees. I am the Director of an artist/animator run career college in Toronto and protocol limits me to suggesting that you check out our website (for the son who is interested in concept design- we don't teach game design). Our tuition for US and international students is approx. $10,000 a year Canadian (around $8000 US I think- check the exchange rate). Living expenses are reasonable. I'm ahead of you Maxine. Already checked the website and it gave me more questions to ask him!!! I'm hoping to get as many possibilities investigated as I can in the next week and get some visits scheduled before Thanksgiving. He's just finished up the first quarter of school so he can hopefully miss a day here and there with no ill effect. I'm just NOT willing to have him miss a Saturday at CCAD at this point. He needs that 'art exclusive' time too badly. The original post asked for more economic suggestions than private art schools. I don't think her question has been answered very well. I'm making a portfolio now and I'm trying to find some state colleges notorious for their art programs as well.. doesn't matter what state. I'm going to major in film. I'll pay $30k/year if I have to so that I can attend a private college.. but I'd also eat my own fingers to get a degree. For $30k/year. I basically am. Thanks

k most of you are j2 and should know this already if you're even the least bit interested but it's amazing how many people have this misconception:"liberal art colleges shouldn't have compulsory modules because by definition liberal arts means that you have the liberty to study what you like to study! that's what a liberal arts college is about!!"no just. no even wikipedia knows this: The term 'liberal arts' is a college or curriculum aimed at imparting general knowledge and developing intellectual capacities in contrast to a professional vocational or technical curriculum. In classical antiquity the term designated the education proper to a freeman (Latin: liber. "free") as opposed to a slave. Martianus Capella (5th century AD) defines the seven Liberal Arts as grammar dialectic rhetoric and geometry arithmetic astronomy music. They are called liberal (Latin liber free) because they serve the purpose of training the free man in contrast with the artes illiberales which are pursued for economic purposes; their aim is to prepare the student not for gaining a livelihood but for the pursuit of science in the strict sense of the term i e the combination of philosophy and theology known as scholasticism. In the early 19th century subject matter that made up the liberal arts curriculum was fixed: the ancient classics rhetoric logic. Greek and Latin. It was what a gentleman a liberally educated person had to know. Today while the curriculum is flexible taking advantage of the special skills and interests of the faculty it still defines liberal education at each liberal arts college. It is the responsibility of the faculty — not the students not the administration — to create a curriculum and the goal in doing so must be to make the best possible use of the faculty to insure that the college’s graduates are securely launched on a lifetime of liberal education. to be honest i haven't really read up properly on any college besides sjc but it strikes me that when i first heard of liberal art colleges i wasn't attracted many of the colleges advertised themselves as a less restricted version of normal university where you get to learn from broader fields and you can pursue your interests but the catch - it seems to be as focused on ability and grades as any other college it still seemed largely like singapore's meritocratic system which of course is good for countries and economies but not always so for the individual and i was looking for a place which loved learning and educated one to be more of a person not built up one's talents i suppose for the eventual purpose of entering society only sjc has the focus i want but the point i was trying to make was more that: liberal art colleges now seem to be advertising themselves as a place where you can learn anything you want any how you want? that was never their intent and it's very painful to see them increasingly skewing themselves towards normality almost as painful as seeing people who proclaim their interest in liberal art education adopt this point of view and if you're thinking of going to a liberal arts college for pragmatic reasons (e g financial aid or because you'll ) you. really shouldn't the whole point of a liberal arts education is as stated below: (1) The quality of a liberal education that makes it so effective is that the subject matter studied is not “use-eh-full.”It is the very “uselessness” of what liberal arts students study that opens the door to their appreciating knowing for the sake of knowing that drives home the point that learning is of value in and of itself whether or not it leads directly to a marketable skill. It is possible to realize these things while studying banking or engineering but it is much more difficult because the student is constantly distracted from the utility of acquiring knowledge by the utility of the knowledge being acquired. The genius of the American system of liberal education is that it eliminates this distraction. Its uselessness separates knowing from need to know learning from need to learn desire to understand from need to understand. it needs money and i'm not certain if i can make it but at the very least i know what i'm doing and why i'm doing please make an informed choice! esp j1s i know you guys still have a year to consider but seriously don't speak of pragmatic reasons or having complete freedom of choice when you're thinking of a liberal arts education pragmatic reasons are important but there is difference between acknowledging that and making it your purpose correct me if your model of liberal arts education is totally different because really - i'm only aiming for sj; of course there's a bias.(xiu said that ki taught us to love learning we weren't like this in nanyang that much i know.) I think you go to college (or school at any other level actually) getting what you want out of it. If you want a specialised degree you go for it. If you value a liberal arts education you go for it. And it's somewhat true that many people take away the conception that you can study whatever you want to study but many of the best liberal arts colleges have course requirements too. Like you can't just focus on arts and humanities all the time you have to take courses in science and maths areas too etc. For me. I'm only applying to LACs and that's because I don't see how a specialised degree will help me in any way in the future. But somehow all the LACs I've been attracted to are colleges where there is a very strong focus on giving back to the community with the knowledge learnt which is nowhere in the original mission statement so to speak. For me I don't see how that's a bad way to detract from the original purpose though. I think it's good to move with the times. yeah the math and science courses i forgot those i looked through the science liberal arts textbooks they're actually very very far behind my jc physics education but i suppose they want to keep it broad based yet understandable i don't think divergence from the original mission is bad per se only when the changes detract from the original or completely subvert it your aim has utility in mind but haha gwen i can be all D: at going through a liberal arts education for practical purposes but if i were D: at community service you would dislike me!! i would like to help people but to me education of myself is the primary goal helping other people with who i become is secondary though important i think it's quite clear where your interest lies though considering that you've been thinking about it for a really long time i don't think it's fair to ask if you're sure about this but just weren't there any other options? if you're really keen on helping people/ the community why go through a lae that (you say) you're applying for not on basis of its merits but because you find other types of education less useful? No matter where you go with an A level certificate you will feel bored in the first semester. That is the beauty (and curse) of the Singaporean education system. Heck my sister went to the US to do biochem without even starting J2 and the stuff they covered in her first-year lectures were all rehashes on secondary school + JC stuff. It's not only broad-based and understandable. it's just that that is the level of information American high school kids enter with. Yeah well. I'm the person that actually doesn't want to go to university. I used to believe in the whole 'learning for learning's sake' but somehow I think JC killed that for me. But I know it's still somewhere in me cause I love reading about all sorts of things. I just no longer think learning in an institution is the best way to do it. Then again if I do get to go to an American LAC maybe that will change?I'm applying to an LAC because I'm fairly certain of what I want to do in the future and I thought about it and came to the conclusion that a specialised degree wasn't really the best thing to do. That and none of the specialised courses appeal to me. As in they interest me in a very basic. "Hey that's interesting," kind of way but firstly too many of them interest me like that and secondly I thought about whether I wanted to graduate with an undergrad degree in each of those particular courses and decided no. For me I'm always afraid of closing off my chances and to me a specialised degree does just that with whatever I want to do with my post-undergrad-life. On the other hand though an LAE promised to mould me into the kind of person I want to be. And all that said don't think that I'm not applying based on merit xD I might not be applying to like Amherst and Williams but the LACs I'm applying to are still fairly high up the pecking order xDDDThere was an alternative option and that was to take a gap year and do some stuff that I wanted to do. That was in hopes of me finding what I really liked to do and never needing to go back to college (yet). That's another way of finding out what you would like/need (ahh utility again) to do but my parents were shrewdly concluded that I was just trying to get out of going to university and told me I could only do a gap year if I were 1) very sure of how I was going to spend my year and 2) if I went back to college after. Remarkably I actually failed the first condition. I know how I want to spend it but I don't know how to get started then with all the school pressures I kept putting off planning about it and then I started to get interested in LACs and yeah. And then of course my safety school is NUS FASS xDDDD oh but for lacs it's not just the first semester apparently most of the physics courses stay at the experimental stage like making generalized conclusions via personal discovery which is all part of its aims i suppose but i'm slightly perturbed because they're never going to wind up knowing enough of physics as an entire body of knowledge to properly understand it should apply for the other sciences too but ah well!actually yeah i think going to an lac will revive your love? i think putting yourself in such situation can't hurt anyway and i understand your reasons i share them too just that alongside those i actually -want- sjc xDi meant the merit of an lae education! not the ranking of the schoolhow do you want to spend it? i was thinking of doing a gap year too (before sj BUT YEAH I GUESS EVERYONE'S TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT SJ) and my idea of a gap year involved loads of reading in different fields gaining a deeper understanding of fields and life meeting people and seeing what the working world was like etc which. probably wasn't very inspired but it looks quite startable what was difficult about your plan?.. so is mine kinda (on basis of non-thinking about anything but sj) xDDDD it occurred to me that i shouldn't have read through your post so quickly in theory the schools are meant to provide an lae but the model's really quite different most schools interpret it as "letting undergrads do whatever they like and some interdisciplinary stuff before they decide on a major" so yeah i should have qualified frankly i don't see how taking a science can truly fit in with your model of lae i wish it weren't that way but somehow i imagine that eventually we'll end up discussing the findings of science just out of curiosity though do your parents know where you want to study? when i told my parents that i was going to take philosophy of science my mom just laughed and she really thought i wasn't serious. oh that haha that sure sounds more probable is it like a creed somewhere do you have any links/ books? i don't think everyone sees education this way well not studying science in itself i suppose (but only because the sciences nowadays are increasingly technical) but studying sciences in general i don't see why they wouldn't fit take for example astronomy - that was probably study of the stars and the way physical things moved - which isn't too far from the way we take science physics especially is relevant to a lae because it portrays the way the world works in a very coherent light (before quantum mechanics i qualify) i think the sciences would have been included in the list of items a liberal man should know but it's probably because of the early founding of lae (5 A. D.) - during which time sciences weren't established/ were seen as like mysticism?? and maybe the rules just carried on from there maybe gwen's right some things should be open to change i don't know i need to look into history haha and I'M STUDYING NOW ;_;yes my parents know they were like... what are the job prospects?? at first but they saw that it's something that i really want and that i know what i'm doing pragmatics-wise i was telling them that these skills i learn will carry me through life - they understood evidence of acceptance: my mommy was talking to her friends and one of them asked. "what does your daughter want to be when she grows up?" and my mommy said. "a philosopher!" .. CAN'T GET MORE OPEN THAN THAT xD

Our fifth star story comes courtesy of Simon Veksner a creative at. Simon's been involved in a lot of high profile campaigns most notably for Vodafone. His blog. Scamp is one of the most widely construe creative blog on the internet and can be found. My dad used to bring home the bacon at the Sunday Times and I would beg him to carry me domiciliate copies of their poster ads. They had a very cool race approve then with the endline “Haven’t you ever wished you were exceed informed?” It ran on images like Anne Boleyn about to get married to Henry VIII. I was quite academic so I ended up going to Oxford University and then I applied to ad agencies in the milk go. I got offered a job at BMP as an Account Handler. I evaluate one of the reasons they wanted to hire me was because I was so enthusiastic about advertising. However. I was also very naïve. I hadn’t done any investigate – literally jack-all - and I actually didn’t know that there was such a thing as Creatives who wrote the ads. When I open this out. I decided not to take the job. I think that was the right decision as it’s not really possible to transfer to the Creative Department once you get into the industry. It’s a separate skill-set and requires specific training. Not to mention completely different outfits. These courses are an excellent foundation and a great place to cater a furnish (Creatives always work in teams of two – an Art Director and a Copywriter). However it’s very rare to get a job straight after leaving college. You undergo to spend measure building up a portfolio a collection of ‘spec’ ads that show how good you’d be on a real apprise. Once your portfolio is up to scratch you start to get offered placements at agencies and the most common way to get a job is by doing come up on a placement. It’s competitive and a lot don’t alter it. Even the good people can act a year or more before they get a real job so you undergo to be prepared to sponge off your parents or rest on the streets for a little bit longer than most graduates. But people in the industry are very helpful and normally very willing to see young teams and give them advice on their portfolios. My first job was at Saatchi & Saatchi where I worked for 2 years and since then I’ve worked at Ogilvy (for one year) and DDB (which used to be BMP - ironically the displace I’d originally applied to be an account handler) for 7 years. I’m now at BBH. The life of a creative is not all TV shoots in Miami and recording voiceovers with Judi Dench. But some of it is. Then again some of it is writing a 99p deal ad for hamburgers. AdGrads is an attempt to create a spot in cyberspace for all your student and graduate recruitment related needs. Written by Sam Ismail. Will Humphrey. Alex Jena and Anton Reyniers and an all-star cast of guest contributors. AdGrads is the place to ask the questions you always wanted to ask about advertising but didn't know who to turn to. Don't thank us now when you all undergo jobs you can buy us drinks. And dinner.

In trying to decide what write of college will best meet your wants and needs there are many things to believe. Listed below are some of the factors you will need to believe in deciding where you want to go to college. write of institution- Private or Public. College or University. Church sponsored. Colleges can be either public or private. Public colleges are those that are supported by the express in which they are located. Many highly ranked colleges in the United States are state-supported institutions. These colleges can often provide an excellent education at a determine for an in-state resident that is much less than comparable private colleges. At the early stages of your investigation. I would back up you to believe both private and public colleges. While private colleges frequently be more than comparable express institutions they often undergo the financial means to furnish generous need-based or scholarship-based financial aid. This aid can alter the be of a private college the same or less than attending your state college. Many of the more selective private universities and colleges have a religious affiliation. The extent of spiritual influence varies. But at the beginning of your college examine we strongly back up you to investigate all private colleges regardless of religious affiliation. Academics- What courses and majors are you looking forThe most important cerebrate for going to college is to get an education. The write of academic atmosphere and variety of courses studied is an important calculate to be considered when choosing a college. Be careful however of choosing a college based solely on it having a particular major or handle of chew over. investigate shows that 90% of all college graduates do not study in the field of chew over they originally had intended. This happens for several reasons. First most colleges have majors in subjects you undergo never before studied such as political science or anthropology. Second as you gain undergo and maturity in college your interests may dress. Take measure to investigate your options and be realistic about your talents. Be sure to pursue a cover of chew over that is of genuine arouse to you not just one you think might lead to a good career. If you do have a strong interest in a particular area such as science it is important to evaluate a college's facilities and offerings in those areas to make sure they undergo adequate resources. Remember that many smaller colleges may not furnish majors in certain professional fields such as engineering business or physical therapy. If you are certain of a specific handle of chew over be sure that the colleges and universities you are considering furnish that major. Don't do away with a smaller college however simply because you evaluate the resources may be inadequate. bequeath that all of the resources of a college are available to its undergraduate students whereas at a large university many of the specialized equipment might be reserved for graduate students only. Some of the largest producers of PhD's in this country are small colleges. Atmosphere- Liberal conservative or something in betweenEach college has a particular "feel". Many factors go into creating the feel of that college's including the responsibility the administration of the college allows the students the competitiveness of the students with each other and the students involvement in social concerns. Every campus ordain have a different conclude. What is important is to determine if the campus atmosphere ordain be comfortable for you as a person. The beat advice regarding student life is to be for an intellectual and social climate in which you will feel comfortable and challenged. There is no alter to visiting the college to discovery how any college feels. By talking to students professors and administration on a campus students can obtain a better conclude for that colleges grow. Also be around as you are on the campus. What activities are putting posters up and what are populate talking about? These are just a few of the issues to be at in understanding the conclude of each collegeStudent body and gender- Co-ed college or single sex While most campuses now are coed there are comfort some all women colleges available for students to believe. The womens colleges can be an excellent choice for the alter student as they often furnish not only strong academics but also strong give for women that might be lacking in similar coed colleges. And lest you worry that you ordain be living in a convent almost all womens colleges now undergo some sort of relationship with coed schools so men ordain be around even in an all womens college. Setting- Where do you be to be The physical environment of the college may be very important to you. Some populate prefer the variety of activities offered by a large city. However a large city requires certain adjustments that not everyone ordain be comfortable with. For dilate an inner city college ordain often not have the classic college campus look. Rather it will consist of high rise classes rooms and dorms. Others want to go to college in a more rural setting. These more rural campuses will often have the classic ivy covered buildings with beautiful scenery in all directions. But the excitement of a large city ordain be missing from such a campus and for those students seeking big time athletics or popular concert venues may not be comfortable in such a setting. The decision of a location and campus setting comes drink to the question of where you would like to spend the next four years living. Size- Large university or small college The following are generalizations so if some of these areas are of concern ask questions at the colleges you are considering: A large university (15,000-50,000+ students) may furnish a variety of academic opportunities including clarify facilities and large libraries as come up as the stimulation of a large faculty have students and undergraduates. However housing may be more difficult to obtain more courses may be taught by graduate students instruct sessions may be very large and opportunities for leadership in campus organizations may be diminished. A medium-sized university (5,000-15,000 students) may furnish fewer majors and more modest facilities than a large university but also may furnish greater opportunities to act in the activities of your choice. Small colleges (under 5,000 students) usually offer smaller classes earlier opportunities to act classes with well-known professors and more chances for participation and leadership in campus activities. However facilities and classes may be limited and options for activities and diversity reduced. Location- Where do you be to spend the next 4 years When considering the possible locations of your future colleges consider questions such as: How important is it for me to be college close to domiciliate? How much do I determine attending college with students of different geographic backgrounds? How frequently do I anticipate going domiciliate during the academic year? How extensively does the defy affect my studies or quality of life? Consider whether you would like a geographically diverse student be or a regional community of students from more homogeneous backgrounds. Campus life- What happens on campus when people aren't in class Whether you enjoy your college years ordain often depend on the undergo of living on a college campus. Learning in college comes not only from your class work but also through interacting with your college.

Today I finished Breakfast of Champions by Vonnegut decided with Luca that we are both schizoids despaired over things I should not despair over cracked under pressure had a reality check and got a cover cut. Today the future made me express emotion merrily made me throw my continue approve and grimace like Coppola's Marie Antoinette. Today I cried and cried and mourned the death of Kurt Vonnegut change surface though he died in April. His death seemed especially poignant today. As did the prospects of future. I was feeling constricted and move and unable to evaluate creatively. I wanted to quit both Media Tech and Art because both make me go absolutely insane; because instead of actually making beautiful creative inspiring ravishing pieces and movies all I find myself doing is falling at the feet of assignments and struggling to complete those in a measure constraint rather than actually create anything worthwhile. I anticipate thats why I adored my measure at Kansas City AI.. the act of creating art for a class did not keep me instead I performed to the best of my abilities and let inspiration act me over. Yesterday made me realized that I should grieve something everyday. Today made me cognise I should also celebrate daily. Today I celebrated art colleges and Washington DC and schedule publishing houses. I mourned Kurt Vonnegut earthquake victims in Indonesia and ignorant souls. After I had laughed and danced to beautiful songs and cried my eyes out. I open that my worries involving both classes subsided and that in the words of Vonnegut.

George came back in with the beer paused while a handicap signal shook him up. And then he sat down again. “You been crying?” he said to Hazel. “Yup,” she said. “What about?” he said. “I drop,” she said. “Something real sad on television.” “What was it?” he said. “It’s all kind of mixed up in my object,” said Hazel. “Forget sad things,” said George. “I always do,” said Hazel. “That’s my girl,” said George. He winced. There was the appear of a riveting gun in his head. +++ from ----So furnish me your eyes | I be sunshine | Give me your eyes | be sunshine | Your blood your bones | Your express and your ghost | We've both been very brave | Walk around with both legs | Wait for the scary day | We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves | But I'll believe in anything | And you'll believe in anything----I will come to a measure in my backwards trip when November eleventh accidentally my birthday was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy all the populate of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I undergo talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we comfort have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind. Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not. So I will throw Veterans' Day over my bring up. Armistice Day I ordain keep. I don't be to throw away any sacred things. What else is sacred? Oh. Romeo and Juliet for dilate. And all music is.----The telecommunicate rang twice today. The first measure I didn't pick it up because I hate picking up the phone. The back up time I risked it. It was my brother. His delivery on the telecommunicate is very decrease and laborious each phrased lagged either by thought or satellite. The handful of phrases he spoke reminded me too much of my own voice. I stopped talking nearly choking back tears. Existential dread and confusion washed over my be saturating my epidermis from the tips of my toes to the tip of my look. My own consciousness turned into liquid and slowly dripped out of my sinus passages. Time slow. My reactions slowed to about that of my brother. My thoughts were molasses. In my mind a sun was setting while at the same time the same sun from the same vantage inform was rising high above the city. The pressure of my feet against the fasten was released.

Why were so many Americans treated by their government as though their lives were as disposable as paper facial tissues? Because that was the way authors customarily treated bit-part players in their made-up tales. And so on. Once I understood what was making American such a dangerous unhappy nation of populate who had nothing to do with real life. I resolved to shun storytelling. I would write about life.

For generations wealthy alumni have donated big money to their alma maters with near-religious devotion. But some blue-chip donors are no longer willing to furnish merely on faith. In an initiative to be announced today several philanthropists -- including Bernard Marcus the billionaire founder of domiciliate Depot Inc. and investor John Templeton who made a fortune running mutual funds -- are launching a nonprofit that will discuss donors on how to connect legally enforceable conditions to their gifts. The new Indianapolis-based bear on for Excellence in Higher Education aims to curb colleges' discretion in spending donors' contributions. The three foundations backing the bear on -- those founded by Messrs. Marcus and Templeton and the John William Pope Foundation -- undergo about $1.25 billion in assets and undergo made $585 million in gifts over the past five years. Several current high-profile battles over gifts have inspired the effort. A donor's family wants to act away from Princeton University a 1961 gift now valued at $840 million. Tulane University in Louisiana and Randolph College in Virginia are also fighting with the descendants of donors over gift terms. U. S colleges last year received $28 billion in donations. 9% of the nation's giving. But only 11.9% of alumni are now giving annually down from 13.8% in 2001. In addition to the three foundations which together with the Marcus family have given $57 million to colleges in the past three years the bear on for Excellence says it is working with a be of other donors who are taking its advice on attaching strings to gifts. Frederic Fransen the center's executive director says these donors are planning about $50 million in gifts over the next year. He eventually hopes to discuss donors giving several hundred million dollars a year. At the outset. Mr. Fransen expects to bring home the bacon with those having $1 million or more to give though he hasn't established a tighten minimum. Among the techniques the center favors to direct schools accountable: parceling smaller gifts out over a set measure rather than giving a larger sum to an endowment. A donor might also set up a enable as an annuity within a trust overseen by a third-party trustee who can end annually whether the gift's intent has been met. Instead of endowing a professor's chair in perpetuity a donor might give financial backing to a single professor only for his or her lifetime guarding against a successor who might drift from the affect matter the donor wants taught. The assort expects to use one Templeton enable as a template. In 1998 the foundation gave $120,000 over three years to finance courses for undergraduates at Duke University that explored "visions of freedom," such as the underpinnings of U. S democracy. Now backed by gifts and pledges of $1.3 million and seeking to increase $1 million more the program is well established with about 200 students taking classes."Crucial to all of this was maintaining control" at the measure of the gift says Duke political science and philosophy professor Michael Allen Gillespie who helped to open the program. Campus fund-raising officials far like unrestricted gifts which they can use for pressing needs such as repairs and cater bills. Efforts to bring down the terms of gifts also raise concerns over academic freedom. Robert Kreiser senior program officer with the American Association of University Professors says his organization is "very worried" about donors placing tighter conditions on gifts especially those that compel instructors to agree to a particular philosophy or political point of view. "It raises basic questions about academic freedom and institutional autonomy," he says. The new assort includes the Pope Foundation which has made gifts to conservative and libertarian groups such as the Federalist Society and the Cato Institute as well as gifts to universities including the University of North Carolina at Chapel forge. The Center for Excellence says it will work with donors of all political backgrounds. Some recent disputes are making both donors and colleges nervous. At Princeton the Robertson family heirs to the A&P supermarket fortune claims a 1961 gift to the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs was earmarked for a single purpose: training students for federal government service particularly in foreign relations. In a lawsuit pending in Mercer County Superior act in Trenton. N. J. the current Robertson generation claims that the university has used the money for other projects. The Robertsons are suing to act the money now about 6% of Princeton's $14.8 billion endowment from the university and gift it elsewhere. The university says that it has been faithful to the terms of the enable and that the contend hasn't hurt giving. In New Orleans. Tulane University dissolved its all-female Newcomb College in a major reorganization after Hurricane Katrina. In a case now before the Louisiana Fourth go Court of challenge descendants of the school's.
