It's about time we start this thread on the proper section. Let's see who's starting at ACCD this fall! Perhaps we could help each other out with helpful info and accomodation arrangement in Pasadena.

If all goes well I intend to start in the fall, but even if I get in I will likely not be able to go.
So much so that last night I took out the old university calendar and started searching for a major to do next year (right now it looks like astronomy/physics is the way to go)
Burns, isn't there student loan available from Canadian banks? I too really don't have any funds in my pocket right now but I will need to apply for scholarship every term (you compete for scholarship with students who are in the same term)and rely the rest on loans.
For me its on scale of ACCD or CCS, which ever gives me a better scholarship and funds i will go towards, i'm leaning more towards wanting to go to ACCD more over than CCS, but realistically CCS is more approachable for me.

What is CCS's tuition? Do they give out scholarship to students that are already enrolled as they do at ACCD? Additionally, I wonder how CCS is when it comes to entertainment industrial design as it should be something to think about when job prospect at OEM companies is out of reach. Although I haven't extensively researched CCS in this regard, I can't imagine it surpassing ACCD in the versatility of opportunities provided.

Why don't you look into studying Industrial design at your current University, or at least one that is near by. Still have a opportunity of doing some type of automotive design work (such as interiors and such) with a I.D. degree.

Think about it.

If only they offered it. Anything remotely close to ID is visual arts, drawing and painting and such, which I really don't want to do because I can learn just as well on my own.

Tution is abit cheaper, around 12.500 per semester totaling 36,000 for a year including housing and life needs. From what i heard CCS is the main competitor to ACCD, both have their own benefits and cons.

I still think learning studio art/fine art would be an excellent preparation for a car designing career. You'll be amazed at how much classroom environment and guidance affects the learning curve of your skill. In fact, a lot of people at ACCD come with another art degre (as well as famous concept artists such as H. Belker and Mark Goerner).
