MFA Photography in Chicago

Hi everyone, I'm trying to pursue an MFA in photography after finishing my BFA at Columbia. I know that my school has already canceled the MFA photo program so SAIC is the best option I have.

Could you guys tell me what a student at SAIC be like? Do you think that is a good decision to study?

The tuition makes me freak out cause it costs over $60k so I try to convince myself it is a top school and the money is worth even though I want to get a full ride or something to cover 80-90% so bad :(((((((((((((((((

Thank you all for helping.
