so i plan to earn some kind of formal education in photography after high school. but i don't which school to choose. i know i should consider facilities, curriculum, the teachers, location (i definitely want an urban setting), and all of that. i considered going to the art institute of pittsburgh (since that's where i'm at), but i was told by a lot of friends to pass on that one, and my art teacher said the same. does anybody have any recommendations? one of my main concerns is how can i tell which schools have a strong, quality photography department/curriculum? i've been checking out the university of the arts in philadelphia lately, and i like what i'm seeing so far. i'm not totally sure what area of photography i want to take up, i know some schools require this decision to be made before entrance. so if anybody has any recommendations or advice for me, it would be very, very much appreciated. help me out here!

by the way, i'm not only restricted to pennsylvania, but ridiculously expensive schools and residing somewhere expensive like new york or california would probably not work out for me...
