does anyone study fashion or costume or similar in college?
i havent studied fashion formally and a mate once said it was mostly trend forecasting and season work and very very little designing.
i want to make made to order costumes for performers such as ballet/exotic/ballroom dancers, singers and stage performers and wonder which course will be more beneficial.
if anyone has ideas for work placement or internship or networking that i might find useful please share! im just getting some free time and i really need to get into school next year so i dont have to study afterwards ever again and do something i like.

I do know that most fashion geared degrees aren't what they seem on paper. I had taken a few design coarses with the fashion design majors and they were doing just that, making garments, understanding fabrics, etc. So I think if you do go that route you have to be careful about what part of fashion your trying to get into. Also what Amareth said was good too. If you want to design on a larger scale then it's a good idea to get into a school but I, too have seen many strippers start their own company (making clothes) with only a few sewing classes behind their belt. Good luck and be sure to let everyone know when your line of stripper wear comes out!!!
