My recommendation isn't so much to do with which school to pick, so much as what you study.
Make sure you take courses in a skill that isn't to do with the arts. Management, accounting, advertising, something universally applicable. "Starving artist" isn't just a romantic figure, it's the norm; it takes a lot of talent and a LOT of time to get noticed, much less make a profit, and in the meantime you still have to pay rent, groceries, hydro, internet bill, any medical bills your butt might end up with (assuming you live outside of magical public-healthcare land), all kinds of stuff. Get skills you can apply for a paycheque and work in your off hours. I work with a starving artist; he edits an arts magazine, provides advertising and promotion for other local artists, and tries to sell his own paintings. He also works four minimum-wage jobs because he needs to eat and have a place to sleep; it's not an easy life. Please start preparing to pay the bills while you're young.
Money problems aren't just problems; no, not everyone ends up in the streets, but it is not fun or even pleasant to be broke with no certified skills. You can't afford to buy food when you're too tired or sick to cook, you can't afford to take your birthday off work because you need the hours. You can't afford to drive to work even when your knee is fucked up because gas is expensive, nobody takes you seriously because you have a minimum-wage low-skill-level job, but you don't have training for anything else, so you start to wonder if maybe they're right. You have to save scraps and learn how to get crafty because you can't afford to buy gifts for people on their birthdays, let alone nice Christmas presents. You get phone calls and letters from companies saying you owe them money that you simply Do Not Have. It's stressful, it makes you depressed, it literally makes you ill, please, please, take it from a fellow ambitious artist who is in this place presently. Take courses in stuff other than art - Sudy art, too but make sure you also give yourself skills that you can make steady money with.
