To me graphic design sounds fun but I want to go to a good school. I don’t care where the school is. My drawing teacher said that San Jose State was one of the best but there should be more right?
I would also like to add that I’m looking for mostly a public college because they are a little bit cheaper.

I don’t want to enroll in college.

I am looking for a dedicated course toward practical graphic design that would last a couple of days/weeks.

Long Island, Rockland, or New York City areas will do. Even better would be to show me a website that has listings of these kind of courses.
