i'm like obsesses with graphic design and communications arts. I was wondering if you had any advice? i'm not sure if i should go to design school (pratt) or a regular university.

I had a very similar dilemma when it came time for me to choose a college. I ended up going to Pratt, majoring in Communications Design, and never looked back. :)  If you’ve got the passion, I’d say go for it! Good luck!
