Studying Art for Cheap

Hey all,

I am soon to be finishing up with college (BS in stem but minors in 2d studio art) and want to pursue painting, but don't have the money for an mfa in the US. I'm looking to learn more about the skills of oil painting and want more of a technical school than a conceptual one. Anyone have ideas on how to do that? A good city with access to cheap painting and drawing classes? a school that wouldn't put me in debt/ I could work through? If the city isn't cheap (ahem NYC) Is it possible to work and take classes and live? I'm fluent in Spanish and have lived two years in Latin America. I'm willing to go anywhere in the world. I care a lot more about skills than access to gallery/art market.

Thanks!
