Corcoran or MICA?

Corcoran:
Uh-maze-ing location. Mind blowing. Washington D.C. right in the middle of everything, literally. Very small attendance, though...only 90 students in each graduating class. Renowned for photo program. No fibers program (cloth, fashion, etc.). Apartment style dorms, but no single bedrooms. Main building is 20 minutes (walk) away from dorms, however, and secondary building is forty minutes (walk) away from main building. And you aren't allowed to have skateboards in the city. At all. Only has two student activities programs, a writing club and a film club. Near the river.

MICA:
Not so great location, but provides a shuttle to cool places (Baltimore aquarium!!!) which Corcoran doesn't. All classes are within the same block (generally). Has apartment style dorms that offer single bedrooms and gallery space. More students, about the same as my current highschool size. Students are fun, exciting, and various. Tons of student programs including the Pirate club, Volleyball club, "Z Point" (makes student-run zines), etc. Has a sturdy fibers program, as well as the other standard majors.

Both have equal study abroad programs, both have sturdy career developement programs, both have given me a pretty hefty scholarship (Corcoran: $23,200; MICA: $20,000 *glee*).

What do you think? If you know anything about these schools or have gone to one of them or know someone who has, pleeease give me an honest opinion. This is a really tough decision, and it would be incredible if I could get as much help as possible from people who aren't getting my money (the college) or spending my money (my parents).
