[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear OP - this isn't what you asked, but I have seen several students go through RISD and SCAD and would strongly recommend that you try to interest her in a college or university that would give her the arts background she is interested in but also a B.A. or B.S. degree.  She may find she can't find a job in the arts or changes her mind.  Also, the drop out rate at art colleges is high.  If you are in Virginia, look at JMU - it has a strong arts department, as does GMU[/quote]
[b]Thank you for your advice. Luckily, she wants to do animation/visual effects and is already quite good at animation and digital art, so hopefully will be able to find a job. She has been so determined in her decision that we can't do anything to make her change her mind - it would break her heart. [/quote][/b]

But what if she changes her mind?  MY DS thought he wanted to be an engineer but found himself in love with political science and philosophy but fortunately was at a large university so could easily switch.  There is merit to getting a B.A. degree over an art school degree.  What if you are doling out $80K a year and she decides in the third year she doesn't want to animate?[/quote]
