Major: Fine Arts - Painting/Sculpture/Photography/etc (This Major's Salary over time)
I attended SVA and I will say that it is what it is. It is in Nyc and has hosted some of the most famous creatives in american industry and the arts. It is expensive because it is in New York City. I come from a small town in the american south that hosts its own so called art school. It is a joke when compared to sva. If not for sva I would not have achieved a lot of the successes I have in my career, not only in fine arts but also in design and development too. Sva is not one of those "make a thing make a living" schools, like the one in that small town I mentioned previously. Sva doesnt exist to simply get you a job. Sva functions to present a theoretical academic approach to the arts. It is gritty and it is real. It's tough because the art world is tough. Sva teaches you to be a master of the arts and to run industry, not to simply be a part of it. That is the difference between sva and a lot of those other schools. Especially those that aren't even accredited as art colleges. Sva is selective for a reason. nly the best and brightest get a chance to be a part of sva. Again, sva is in nyc, the greatest media capital in the world. If you can make it there you can make it anywhere. I am living proof of that. No other school could have prepared me for the ruff and tumble of the art world. Sva is the greatest and shall remain so. You get what you pay for. Sva is not a party school. It is a creative school. You are in nyc to create not to party. If you want to party and seek a low leve of education then attend one of those crappy red neck schools in the south where Budweiser and high fashion go together.
