This might help.
I'm not actually advocating for either one...they both have benefits and downsides and are completely dependent on your personal situation and the school. I personally would have done art in uni at the drop of a hat now, If i could have a do-over. Working and self teaching is probably the hardest sustained thing I've ever had to do and have had to sacrifice a lot along the way (social life, health, sleep etc)
One thing I can say is that it is arguable that your resume will look better for having gone to a second rate university if art is all you want to do, and it is absolutely certain that your portfolio won't look any better with a resume from said second rate university draped unconvincingly next to it.
Whatever you do build up that folio...that is the most important thing. Good luck with your choice!
