Why did you choose your school?

I am really happy that I chose the program that I did. Emily Carr University in Vancouver BC (Industrial Design). I chose it because it was one of the better design programs in Canada and going to an American and/or European school for undergrad was ridiculously expensive.

I think it did what a good program does which allows you to grow, become self aware as a designer in understanding who you are, what you have to contribute to the ‘design culture’.

And overall no matter if its a top of the line school or a bottom feeder you make it what you want it to be and push for opportunity and change if need be within the curriculum. Furthermore, look for like minded (same values) individuals (peers and faculty) with complimentary skills to jam with and learn from.
