Most schools won’t let you skip foundation year.
If I were going to do anything in the spirit of switching schools it would have been to taken a year of community college liberal arts classes so I could have focused more on studio.
I think different schools have different levels of relevance freshman year. In my opinion the thing I learned the most my foundation year was “this is what it’s going to be like being a designer” lots of very long and labor intensive projects with very short deadlines, lots of manual labor making things, even if the actual “design” of those things was almost completely irrelevant to the professors.
