1. Pratt Institute is ranked top for Interior Design in the United States (tied #1 with Rhode Island School of Design), followed by University of Cincinnati in third position and New York School of Interior Design in 4th place, according to the US News and World Report 2009 rankings. As you will have to pay a lot of tuition fees as a foreign student I probably would go to Cincinnati. At least your living expenses will be much lower. NY city is very expensive to live. As an international student (I assume you are Australian since you post this question from Australia) you can only work on the campus of your school. Another website has them ranked: Top Ranking Interior Design List The Council for Interior Design Accreditation lists the following schools as ranked highly in the U.S., according to the Almanac of Architecture and Design: The University of Cincinnati in Ohio Pratt Institute in New York Kansas State in Kansas Cornell in New York Arizona State in Arizona
2. There are plenty of good ones here to choose from. But it's important to make sure the college's or university's interior design program is accredited by CIDA (Council for Interior Design Accreditation). Here is a list of colleges/universities across that U.S. which have a CIDA accredited program: http://accredit-id.org/accredited-programs
