The AI is the one of the finest art programs in the world. If you keep up your grades, score well on the SATs, and show a strong level of interest and aptitude in your chosen area of artistry, there's no doubt in my mind that you'll reach your goal.

To tell you a little more about the school, it bears the same name as the fine art museum located next to it which is right off of Michigan Ave -- probably the most famous street in Chicago.

In terms of quality, the education is second to none. It consistently ranks in the top 5 for undergraduate fine arts programs and in the top 2 for Master's programs.

Additionally, there are a wide variety of programs to suit all artistic pallets. Of course there are majors in the traditional art programs like Art Education, Photography, Sound, Scultpture, etc. Then there are more modern categories for the new age like Computer Programming, Interactive Design, Web Design, etc.

And, to top it all off, the AI is in the heart of downtown Chicago. What better place to live and study for four years than in one of America's best cities, in terms of restaurants, entertainment, and people.

Oh awesome! My friend goes there. She's originally from India where she got her BA. Now she's at AI to get her Master's.

What type of art do you plan to study?

There are probably a lot of places called "The Art Institute." Can you be more specific?

Are you talking about the one in Chicago? Because there's an art institute in GA too. You must be talking about the Chicago for you to be calling it THE art institute.
