Post here about what types of information you are looking for when it comes to upper level education. What major? What types of classes? What do you want to get out of the program?
Once you do that, I'll do some research for you! I'll compare the top schools with possible schools that you want to go to.

I'll even suggest a school for you if you have no idea what school to go to! (I will need info such as how far away from home do you wish to be, how big the school, degree program you wish to major in, or types of classes you wish to take, any other info you deem as important)

TAKE ADVANTAGE! You can do your research alone, but this way you have someone that has experience doing this!

So if you are going:

3D Animation for Games & Movies is what I want to go for. I'm planning on [url=\"http://www.digipen.edu\"]DigiPen ITT[/url] but to get my Bachelors there it will be $50,000..................................... yeah. Want to try and find a cheaper school? I can't go out of the USA (grr) fyi.

Well, lately I've been looking into Computer/Game programming. I also want to take as much math as I can (which I will need to for programming anyway). So far out of high school I will have a crappy GPA and completion of pre-calculus lol.

How far away from home? As far as you can get me.
How big the school? Big enough.
Degree program? No idea what that means.

So, lately I've been looking into a community college for my sophomore benchmarks. It's a fairly small college, and it's not too expensive, which is why I looked at it. It's also one of few colleges in Iowa that I found offer computer programming courses (odd). Any research you do on upper level education I'd be interested in reading though (I need to know, I have no idea.) I'm sure eventually I'll find a college, so you don't really have to do that, but I'm still interested in knowing some things.

Travis: Degree program is what major, what field of study, what you want to do.

Josh: I'm working on yours, as you can imagine, this type of research takes some time to find good, creditable sources. It should be up by the end of the week

Marko, what school and what major if you don't mind me asking.

Next year I start my course in Visual Communication or Bachelor of Media Arts at University of South Australia. That is if I get into them. I have made other choices as well but those two are on top of my preferences out of 6.

Hm, I'd be interested, too.

I thinking information technology (as opposed to computer science) with a focus on advanced web and multimedia applications.

In my case, I'd like something close to home (Dallas, Tx) or possibly online. The latter will have to be truly reputable and reasonable in terms of tuition etc.

Thanks for any info you can shoot my way
