I was reading the admissions application for Columbia College, Chicago and it said to list all the colleges/universities Ive have attended since high school. Is that just to see what Ive done or do I need to attend another college to get into this one?

no, they just want to know if you've taken any classes at other colleges that may be able to transfer credits to this one. its not a requirement. this way they can ask the other colleges for transcripts, and you dont have to take the same class again.

The School of the Art Institute of Chicago is a very good school. It's a top ranked art school. Columbia College is good in that field, but SAIC is seriously "wow". As you said, you're already paying a ton of money for Columbia College - SAIC probably is no more expensive, and IMO, it's a stronger school. The AI chain of schools is to be avoided. Terrible reputation. SAIC is not part of that chain. I am afraid that if you spend two years at community college, you'll be behind on your major courses, and it will mean you need to spend extra time at SAIC or Columbia in order to graduate. Most ccs don't offer enough/the right/high enough quality of art classes. I don't know your cc, so I can't comment, but I do caution you - do your research on this, and if you find that this is true, then transfer to SAIC or return to Columbia next year, so you don't waste time and money. SAIC is still accepting transfer applications for the fall, when last I checked. So if interested, contact them today, ask if you can still apply, and get that started. With all that said, for the most part, in GD, it's about your talent and experience rather than where you went to school. HOWEVER, if you fear that you're not getting enough out of Columbia, then that is a real issue. Your portfolio needs to be very strong. And if you come out of the best GD school in your region (SAIC), that can have some pull with some employers. I might have you go visit SAIC and see what you think. Talk to some students, check out GD student work, maybe sit in on a GD class. Really get a feel for the place. Another thing I might have you do is use your existing portfolio to try to get some GD - related work *now*. See if you can even get an internship in GD now. See what employers think of your portfolio so far. That may help you judge how Columbia is v. the competition. It'll also help you build your resume and portfolio, which is important.

They just want to see how well you can perform in college, if you have attended any. You can get into Columbia with just a high school diploma.
