College

Next year I hope to continue my education by going to college with an interest in design. I wish I knew exactly where I wanted to go, but as of right now I don't. Looking through this website, I have picked three schools that offer classes and programs that would give me a major in design. Savannah College of Art and Design, Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise, and Florida State University are the three I have chosen for interests in design. I will need to take a art and drawing classes and of course actual design classes, that all three of these schools offer. None of these schools require anything special besides test scores and GPA except FIDM requires for all applicants to have an interview. I have always thought that I would be at Georgia or a big school in the south but the more I plan for my life I realize I will get a better education for my degree at other schools. When it comes to size I am comfortable with big schools, it does not intimidate me and the diversity does not bother me either. SCAD and FSU have a great location of being in the south and not too far from home but FIDM is a beautiful school all the way in California. It is in a perfect location in Los Angeles but I don't know how my parents would feel with me being so far away. FSU and FIDM are out of state schools so tuition would not be cheap. FIDM is about $25,00 and FSU is about $34,000 and even though SCAD is an in state school it is still private which makes it about $50,000. Once completing school and getting a degree in interior design, I hope to find a job opportunity where I can go to work for an architecture firm or a design company and maybe after years of working I could eventually have my own design business.
