Art School vs University vs Neither: Which one is right for you? // BianaBova

*I'm bracing myself to get shit for this video and that's fine. I'm just asking y'all to be respectful in the comments and use this platforms to share your experiences in a kind and genuine way. Thanks~*

This topic has been on my mind for literal YEARS and I had to get it out at some point. I wish I hadn't focused so much on the freelancing side of things cause you will be learning solo too. Plus the freelancer hustle is a struggle that all of us--degree or no degree--must face. But bottom line, when you're on your own, you have to make your own moves, period. When I was working full time at Starbucks, it took me months before I felt could push myself to work on art daily, and even then it's not as much as I regularly do at school. Shit's tough. That being said, everyone is different AND entitled to their own opinions so fire away in the comment section,

Here's some stuff to help you think further on the topic:
