good universities to study graphic design in america for a foreign student?
Hello, I am a student from Belgium (Europe). I really want to go to a university in America. I'm looking for information how to get in such a school. I can't find good information on the web, and I don't really understand the American education system. And do I need to take any tests to get in graphic design, except the TOEFL? I really need some help, thanks a lot.

I am a foreign student myself and majoring in Graphic Design. The 1st thing to check with Universities is that if they going to accept your transfer credits. If not, then you probably have to start at junior colleges or private schools. And since you are from other country, you must take the toefl. When I transferred to a local University, I had to do the toefl and the required entrance exam from the school for General Edu classes (e.g. eng, math, etc). Once you are in, then you have to do a number of lower division classes before you can apply to go into the major. Once they accept you into the major, then you can continue to take the upper division classes. Not sure if it's exactly the same in private schools, but I can tell you the private schools are pretty expensive. Especially the ones in San Franciso. One of my classmates transferred to a private school in San Franciso because he couldn't get into the major and he told me that he's renting a room for about $800 and have to commute about an hour to school one way everyday. And he said he got a cheap room! The cost of the state university I went to wasn't so bad. Affordable. Besides, the one I went to have a really great graphic program. If you need more info on any school, the best thing to do is go to their website and email the people in the International students department. They can provide you with a better answer. Good luck.
