A comprehensive university would make it easier to switch out of art or pure art than an art school. I also hear that art majors do well if they are savy with web programming languages (e.g. web design & etc.).
I would be pleased to meet with you and her if she attends UO (tho I know nothing about art).
Best wishes to her.

She is considered in-state for UO, out of state for the UC schools (damn, all those decades of paying California income taxes gone to naught).
Paying say $50,000/year for the UC schools is not very appealing, relative to paying say $25,000/yr for UO including the tuition surcharge for the Clark Honors College. (Those are all-in costs including room and board.) She thinks so as well.
We are still keeping UCSD in the running, mentally speaking, but she has pretty much ruled UCSC out. She didn't apply to UC Berkeley or UCLA, they didn't appeal to her and her chances of getting in as an out of state were very low. I discouraged her from applying to Berkeley actually - I think it is a pressure-cooker now, not like when I went there long ago.
If she decides on UO, we'll definitely find you. She liked the school on a couple of visits (she goes there every year for the Forensics tournament) and was particularly impressed by the bookstores - I think the Smith Family Bookstore (?) - now she wants to work there, she is a book lover kind of kid.
