Rhode Island School of Design

This is the place to go if art is your calling. Named the best art college in the country by the US News and World Report, Rhode Island School of Design offers numerous courses individually and jointly with the Brown University; you can register at both colleges simultaneously. The college seems to thrive on its laurels alone, for it has the lowest admission rates in the country. Boasting of a long list of notable alumni, this institution attracts highly talented individuals from all over the world. The school also has an amazing gallery, where it displays over 80,000 works of art. Exhibitions are regularly held outside the campus, especially in the Woods-Gerry Gallery, where RISD students, faculty and even the staff get to show their talents.
