I know I just posted a thread about colleges on the east coast and everything, but I've been researching like crazy and I think my decision comes between Ringling or CCAD. (I have family that live around both schools...)

I'm a senior in highschool right now, and after this year I'm thinking about going into my local community college (TCC) and building up my foundation for two years. After that though, I want to switch out into a bigger school.

I guess what I'm wondering, what are the differences in the schools?
If I wanted to go into (I guess illustration, but really game design/concept design), wich school could help me more?
Wich is better at helping to get you into the field?
What are the price ranges for both schools?

There are a lot more questions I could ask, but I'm at school waiting the rest of the day out... I only have 5 bells, but have to come back for my soccer game anyway...xD

Any help you guys/girls give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
