French or photography in college?
I have figured out very early in my life what I want to do, so I've gotten a head start on the college search. I have a dream of being a professional fashion photographer hopefully living in Paris working for French Vogue. My dream college is the Brown/RISD Dual Degree Program, and I'm doing everything I can to increase my chances of acceptance to both schools so I can apply for the program. RISD, Brown, and the Dual Degree Program are all tied for first place as my top choice, followed by Columbia as the second and Pratt as the third. If I got accepted to the Dual Degree Program, I would choose to concentrate in French Literature at Brown and Photography at RISD. If I wasn't accepted but went to Columbia or Pratt, I'd obviously major in French at Columbia, taking cles at the ICP outside of school, or Photography at Pratt. But I don't want to go to a college that is strictly an art school - concerning my social life - excluding RISD because Brown is right down the street. Finally, my question - based on everything I've mentioned, do you think it's a better idea to search for schools that emphasize more on art/photography, like Pratt or RISD, or search for schools that emphasize more on academics, like Columbia or Brown? Sorry I wrote a lot...
