i've looked at digipens site http://www.digipen.edu/ ... is this really a good college to go to for computer game programming and computer animation or are there betters?

Up to now, that I know of, it's the only college that has a degree (bachelours) in game programing. There are other, like the california Art Institute that have game design, but it's part of the animation courses. Check them out.

wow that looks like one of the best schools for game programing and computer animation that i have seen. I'm looking forward to finding more about that school.

i think its a bit pricy...but if its pretty much the only one with game programming im all up for it. they also have a project called "project fun" http://digipen.edu/fun.shtml which i've seen in nintendo power, it looks pretty interesting because you can make your own games and it will guide you through some of it for only 30 bucks annually, not bad...

this school is THE best when it comes to game programming

however, most people who request info do not apply, as 3 essays are required to start off. most of the classes are about math. they have a 30 percent washout rate. but hey, they also have one of those kick-ass arcades (cant remember the name) a short distance a way.


oh yeah, the also work 12 hour days, 6 days a week!


good luck getting in (hopefully youre a high school freshman right now, so we'll be classmates )
