Help!

[euphemistics]

So, livejournal friends, decide my fate: Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, UCLA, or Califonia College of the Arts in Oakland/San Francisco? Pratt is a great school for art, but incredibly expensive and limited as far as gen. ed. goes, so it's a long shot as far as making sure I have the skills to pay back my loans/be happy in life. Good news is I would be completely engulfed in art and most likely get a job straight out of college. UCLA is UCLA, and "the" art UC; I'd also get to minor in English and be a generally sweet person, but I'd have no specific illustration training, and it would be a lot more difficult to get a job out of school. CCA is sort of the in between, it also has an awful gen. ed. program, but is almost as cheap as UCLA and I'd have a better chance of getting a job out of school, as I'd be well versed in "Illustration." It seems much more liberal than Pratt, but it's not as highly-regarded and won't count as much on resumes. As far as location goes, Pratt is number one, CCA number two, and UCLA number three. I'm going to go visit them all in the next two weeks or so, but I'd appreciate any input.

So I guess let me know how they stand with you, maybe even put them in order? Anything would help a lot, because I'm completely torn.
