I'm not sure if this is the right place to start the thread..

I'm finishing up my BFA with hon. at Elam School of Fine Arts in New Zealand and i'm looking to do my masters (fine arts) overseas.

First I would be looking into Australia. but would really like to be studying in America.

So far i've just had a look at a few places online- SVA NY (apparently amy stein teaches part time?), UCLA, UCIrvine (my old tutor Joyce Campbell taught there. and a recent friend told me its free?), Yale (long stretch. but i read Crewdson is teaching there). That's the main lot i've looked at plus a school in Helsinki, Finland - Taik which seems to have a pretty good rep.

Can anyone recommend any schools? know what the standard of work is like over there? i'm not sure how my work would stand up against everyone else who'd apply.
