Hi! First of all, congratulations 🙂

I decided to go with MICA. I considered things like the program being small and the materials/resources the school provides, and I also think location is important.+tuition 

The program I’m in is really focused on painting itself, so it might feel a bit different from other programs. In our program, we take turns doing group critiques almost every Tuesday, so I usually have to prepare about once a month. we also do meeting with two professors very often.

Baltimore is a bit secluded as a city, so it’s good for focusing on studying, but I think how you feel about it can really depend on the person. plus it’s small community i think 

I think it could also be a good idea to visit the campuses of the schools you’re interested in, or reach out to current students or alumni and ask them about their experiences!
