Good Universities for MFA in Digital arts/Multimedia?

[Illusionz]

Any Multimedia MFA applicants here? I've shortlisted some universities for application and wanted your opinion on these

Savannah College of Art and Design (Georgia)
California State University East Bay (formerly California State University, Hayward)
University Of California, Santa Barbara
University Of Southern California
Minneapolis College Of Art And Design
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Most of these are too blooming expensive for me to contemplate without any financial assistance . Does anyone know of any options which are slightly more economically viable?

Cheers.

Yea thy right ... MFAs are really expensive ... u most humbly and respectfully would want to add Art Centre Los Angeles and RISD to your list ... but then they are mostly known for their graphic design courses ... so what all exams did u give? ... I'm very confused, I'm giving my GRE and my TOEFL, but is it that these colleges just ask for a portfolio and a toefl score?

I am wondering why Cal State East Bay is in the shortlist. My experience of being in the area, and general impression of the school, don't seem to put that school in the same caliber with the rest of the list.

But if that is not a concern, I would bet Cal State East Bay is the most affordable one.

I will say the best program of your kind is the MIT Media Arts and Sciences --> see website here: Admissions | MIT Media Lab

Take a look at:

New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program
ITP | Tisch School of the Arts | NYU

and

Hunter College's Integrated Media Arts
MFA-IMA

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I just dropped in after a long time and was pleasantly surprised to see so many replies to this topic - I thought we were an almost extinct breed
