Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara. Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. If you can't afford those (or can't get in) then Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo. Added benefit to Cal Poly; daily access to the Big Sur coast :-)

I see Spaz and I are in agreement :-)

Whaen I was looking at schools, Brooks and Art Center were certainly on my wish list, but the tuition was extraordinarily high and I did not qualify for financial aid. All three schools are pretty selective, Cal Poly's program is always "impacted", meaning they have significantly more qualified applicants than spaces for them.

Cal Poly, being a state school, was and, I would assume still is, much more affordable. I remember tuition for a whole quarter being under $400 for up to 18 credits. Probably more than that now, but you really can't beat the location. I lived in an apple orchard, 5 minutes by bike from the beach and 15 minutes by car to campus.
