In the real world, it really doesn't matter where you go to get a liberal arts BA degree. I would opt for the most affordable choice. Where you get your MA or PHD matters more. What career are you planning to pursue? Will a BA  actually get you where you are going or would it be more advantageous to get a more specialized degree? Why do you just want to learn about the arts? I would suggest coming up with a better life plan than that. Just a thought.

Try Hunter College, if you are looking at a NY area.  It's a CUNY school but it's got good reputation.

I'd have to say A&M, although I'm biased because I went there. I wasn't an architecture major, but I'm interested in it and I enjoyed taking an architecture class and independent study project there. I had a friend who did arcitecture there who is in grad school at Yale now, so they seem to prepare people well. I don't know much about the other school, although Chicago does have some historic influence in architecture.

I went to the New School for Social research for Summer School a long time ago. It was the best experience ever. The people that attend are independent thinkers and the school is extremely competitive. Just taking a couple of classes in Economics made me change my whole major. I liked Eugene Lang better than NYU because the classes are smaller and one gets more attention. (I went to Columbia U). Hope that helps.

Some of the best graphic design schools (BS wise) are in the USA. Most California universitys are very good for a BS in Graphics. If you want to try, the UK also has a lot of great schools for graphics (BS wise as well). Though for Canada, I've never heard of any. Though look at the one in the source, might help you out.

Find some students and talk to them to get a first hand feel of what the school has to offer. Additionally get the campus newspaper and take a look to see what issues are important to the school.

Barbizon School of Modeling blows them both out of the water!!! \n\nJoking... I would prefer University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne... It's a great school and the extra-curricular activities are great.... Plus Chicago is not too far away... I loved it when I visited there while I was in college....

Macleans ranked St. Francis Xavier University number one overall in 2004 and again in 2005.  I don't know about fine arts, but if it is best overall, you have to think the fine arts has to be good too.  \n\nGo to the link and you can search around the different top ranked Canadian schools updated to last spring.  The fall rankings are just coming out, it is a good idea to pick up the Macleans issue.

In no specific order, some good film schools in the US:\nFlorida State University (Industry, Hands-On, 100% Prod. Costs)\nNew York University (Location, More theory, Indie)\nUniversity of Southern California (Location)\nUniversity of California Los Angeles (Location)\nUniversity of Texas Austin (Indie, Indie-Location)\nNorth Carolina School of the Arts (BFA only)\n\nStart looking there. There are others!

Julliard is over rated. My honest suggestion is if you are interested in opera, head to the west coast. There are some good schools (USC, CSULB, and Chapman) that have good undergraduate programs (although USC is more grad based) in any case make sure that the program you are looking at has not only a good teacher for you but also opportunities for undergraduate performance in opera. If you are never going to get on stage in an opera...what's the point of going to that school to study opera? Oh and Cincinatti school of music is good too...but again...graduate centered opera. (don't go to a choral school...go to an opera school)

if it's a really exclusive art institute, go there. \nRecently, graduates from those institutes have had better job opportunities than MBA's. \nOtherwise, university.

The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Columbia College Chicago would be a passable second choice.
