Fine art professionals...?

Question:

Fine art professionals...?

What art institution did you attend and how do you feel it improved your chances of having a career? Any schools/programs you would not recommend? I am looking to return to college to get my MFA in Painting and/or Drawing, it seems to be the only thing I'm still passionate about. I have my BFA in Graphic Design, I'm in my late 20s and in California. I would prefer to study in California. Any constructive advice is appreciated!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I am presently getting my BFA in Florida, but since you wanted recs for schools in California, I would highly recommend CCA (California College of the Arts) and SFAI (San Francisco Art Institute). Both have great reputations and outstanding faculty. Both are very competitive and expensive, but worth checking out.
