Hey guys, i’m going to college soon, and well as you probably guessed im into web design, programming, graphics and animations. I was just wondering if you guys know about any GOOD college? Money is no problem (as i know some can cost a fortune), i just want to get into a good college.

Please post links if there is a website and any personal experience (if you are/have going/gone to that school).

Thanks a lot!

If you are into design, then I would go to an art / design school. Where are you looking to go? East Coast, West Coast, Uk?

I looked in to the Savannah College of Art and Design. I think it’s on of the better design schools.

Good Luck

heh, anywhere in the US… :slight_smile:

I go to The Art Institute and I consider it good. I attended another art school as well, but it wasn’t that great. I like The Art Institue much better.

I’m not sure where you’re from, but they have lots of locations spread out in the US.

i am in the same boat with you (wait… theres a boat(-: )

no really i was looking at a course that would have cost me $2000+ but they ****ed me about so there not getting there money so i am doing some part-time (got to work) courses in Dreamweaver and Flash also HTML and Java script then i might do something like Hardware and Software, But the best bit is becuase i am under 19 i am getting all this FREE… LOL

i love the UK:thumb:

o… anyway… if you like web design do what i did and look for things that focus just on that then wirte to some places and ask for jobs, companys are always looking for staff. i have 2 near me that have like 20+ people and they just give you a site to do and you do it, none of this self employed ****, that is to much like hard work.

so when i am done in about a 8-10 months i should be in a job that paying 25k+ (35+ dollers) PA.

and as far as i am aware thats not half bad:thumb: considering i will be 18.

(porsche 911, here i come(-: )
