I have friends who teach photo at Maine College of Art. I'd be happy to
hook you up.
Regarding Goddard: having grown up in Vermont I can tell you they do not
enjoy a very serious reputation. I believe they are now fully accredited,
but it's hard to believe the program would be what you'd call "rigorous."
(In the 60's and 70's most of the study was more in the "free-love and
do-your-own-thing" department. (Not that free-love is a *bad* thing!) But
that may all have changed....)
And finally, the Vermont College program is, I believe, a good one. BTW -
You'll find my name on their roster of artist-teachers....
I'd be glad to discuss this with you off-list - or, by phone (207-372-8514).
Good luck!
