Hi everybody! I am looking for schools to study my undergraduate degreer abroad (currently I hold an associate degree in Digital Photography from a local college) I've been really interested in SVA and CALARTS, but CALARTS seems more focus in fine art photography while I interested in beauty and fashion. Do you know about other really good colleges and schools in USA or England?

Thanks!

SVA is good, and I've known folks from Brooks who speak very highly of it.  If you want fashion, I'd stick to NYC or LA.

Brooks has had a lot of issues since Brooks sold it back in 1999.  Got into some $12M class-action too with students.  Seems it is moving more into screenwriting and video of late if you look at their faculty and bios.

More here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Institute

Close friend went there for cinematography, but the LA union is a pretty closed shop and it's more who you know or whom you are related to in LA to get anywhere.  He gave it up after graduation.  Cost him a small fortune too, but he got assistance under a GI bill then too.  Many were rich kids with very wealthy parents (Lots of doctor's kids there.) who attended then too.

Town used to work well with them as to supplying locations and articles to shoot.  Local apartments were set up with darkrooms back then too.  Nice, but expensive area.
