Hello Orchidland,

    Joel Schwalb commented, "I do agree with Elaine in that you might
    even be better off starting with a technical school. If you do this
    first you will have a big advantage when you enter any BFA and/or MFA
    programs. Unlike your fellow students, you will start out with the
    ability to produce your designs and truly focus on the designing side
    of it while your fellow students will be spending a lot of time
    figuring out how to do it." 

    I would also add that many state universities recognize and accept
    some credit hours from a technical school or junior/community
    college. Since the credit hour cost at these is usually significantly
    less than the 4-year school, you might save yourself some bucks and
    time. Ask an enrollment counselor at the schools of your choice. 

Judy in Kansas, where the weather person is talking SNOW??? I hope not.
