auto design school

What school would you consider a good high-end art school for auto design in the state? (Pls dont say Italdesign).
Anyone attended/knows anything about Caltech or Pasadena Art center? I am planning to transfer there, but any input about any other possible school? its quite competitive.

Check out this site they might be able to help...http://forums.cardesignnews.com/eve/ubb.x

Hi I plan to study Transportation Design too, but I'm from Germany. Please post some of your stuff here or send me a eMail, I'd really like to see other car designers stuff!

Thanks a lot! I have no design or car sketches or anything. I like to mess with my own car, and often comes up with a lot of ideas. I am considering to enter a short session in pasadena art center to build my portfolio,,,but ill keep in touch and post my stuff here soon

The Art Center of Design, in Pasadena, can't be beat. Over half the car designers in the Country have attended... I beleive that Ford and General Motors co-sponser the school. Tha's where I was headed until Viet Nam called me... It's still a dream for me... maybe a few classes - if possible. Good Luck. Robo

Well, if you truly want to become a transportation designer, you should immediately start sketching on your own. every day or night as often as possible. Of course you learn at school but it's always better to go there prepared.

Robo you were in Vietnam? That's so cool! Well, I guess, not cool but I mean, interesting. You're my hero now.

I'm kinda scared of HONU now...

But yeah lol, almost everyone on the S&D forum wants to become an auto designer...
