I have a couple I'm looking at, but I was curious if anyone could recommend some others./Joe Hocking what school did you go to? And would it be a terrible idea for me to major in either printmaking or graphic design?

I know this is old and Joe's post is a good answer, but he has a point: universities have good programs, too. I went here and it has one of the top design and architecture programs in the country. (Last time I heard, masters in arch was #1 and the design program was #2.) If you want printmaking, though, U. Wisconsin-Madison is the best, but I've also been looking at grad schools here and here, in addition to the ones Joe listed.
Also, I majored in printmaking and I'm having a hard time finding a job. I would recommend finding a program that allows you to do both (I can tell you now, if you major in art here, you can't do design, but if you're in design, you can take art classes). Also find a program that has a co-op program, because this is SO awesome because you can become familiar with several design firms and will make your resume look outstanding. It will make finding a job a whole lot easier. The only thing you should think about is if you think graphic design is/is not the job you want.
Hope that helps!

I wish there was one of these for grad school.

I know you were being ironic, Sam, but this one actually isn't a bad idea.
Oh wait yes it is.

Last semester I realized that i went to a girl's school and lived in a shitty dorm with morons, but my teachers were an ex-war correspondent with great stories, a nice writer who was only four yours older than I, an adorable young guy who was great at exchanging sarcastic comments with me while I failed at lab, and an entertaining history and sci-fi nerd of a fellow. Plus, I missed my ex-best history teacher ever who has a frightening amount in common with me.
Basicially, yes. I spent the whole semester annoyed that all my teachers were cooler than my fellow classmates.

i'm finally transferring to real college this fall after years in CC, and reading this thread is making me more stoked (stokeder?) than i previously had been. really lookin forwards to meeting new people, getting involved in various activities n whatnot. that and the general book nerdery that comes with being an english major.
