I just became aware that my new college UMBC, University of Maryland, Balitmore County, is involved in helping those make games. Check out this link and tell me what you think. I may begin looking into this and tell you all about it.

Would be a nice to take if you are interested in being a 3d artist..with slight chances of getting into the gaming industry..
Otherwise I woudln't really consider it seriouslly if it cost a lot.
The school I went to for design just started a video game program also.
Grumble.
GRUMBLE.

Maybe once I finish paying them the 10 grand I still owe them now I can think about giving them more of my money.
The college I'll be going to in less than a month also has one, sort of, it's a degree in 3D Computer Animation: http://www.sihe.ac.uk/prospect/digitalmedia/bsccompa.htm - "this course will be ideally suited for employment as animation designer/programmers in the computer games industry"
My uni's better (http://www.ise.canberra.edu.au/AmGame/Default.htm)... :P I wouldn't touch those button packs though. ick.
And if I feel I'm not quite ready when I leave uni, I amble on down here (http://www.aie.act.edu.au/) for a year or so, and it's just down the road.
This is probably the first time Canberra's been kind of cool for something.
