I was accepted to it, but parents change they're mind later to no after saying yes...3 times already. They prefer a closer school, but this school is top notch (digital media arts college).

Answer 1 :
My parents wouldn't let me go to an art college either, instead they insisted I go to a four year university. I did and I was miserable, I actually failed all of my classes the second semester on purpose (they were paying, I was pissed). So they let me transfer, but again, not to an art college... this time I went to a smaller private university. I liked it socially, but educationally I was miserable... after 1.5 years I stood up to my parents and said 'I'm transferring to an art college, even if it means I pay for it'. That was that. Where they completely unhappy with my decision? Yes. But once they saw how well I was doing and how happy I was, they knew they had messed up by making me go to the other schools. I now work as a creative director, traveling internationally at the age of 24, and living pretty great life...all of which would not have happened had I not stood up to my parents. If I could give any advice to someone who is in the same position as I once was, It would be to just do it... you may upset your parents at first, but this is YOUR future, not THEIRS. Hopefully, after seeing good things from you and the school you choose to go to, they will turn around like my parents eventually did (now they brag about what art college I went to, ha). I definitely wish you the best!
