Recommended Masters Universities for Lighting Design?

Hello everyone!

I am currently in the process of selecting a university for my Masters degree in lighting design!
I will be attending the URTA conference in a week from now which will put me in contact with my schools across the US.
I have already begun talking to UCLA, Cincinnati, Purdue and Carnegie Mellon.

I am looking for an assistant, to learn many styles of lighting design (not just theatre) and to push my skills in art as well as the technical. I hope to graduate with a solid base in board programming, drafting, but more than that a mastering of color theory, optical effects and the psychology of different light on spectators.

I have been told Chicago is a top choice artistically...
I have been told that Carnegie is a top choice technically...

What experiences can you share of other universities?

-Rob
