I've heard good things about Art Institute of Philadelphia as far as an a Game related education goes. The most important thing to look at is if the school has contacts in the industry or not, IE: can they help you get a job after you graduate. I am about to finish a 4 year BFA at the University of Cincinnati and I choose to study Fine Arts. If you decide to pick a school with a 4 year program in Fine Arts stay away from schools that focus on Conceptual Fine Art, not Concept Art for games but Conceptual Fine Art. Those types of school have a heavy anti-aesthetic quality to the courses. The school I am at right now is thinking about removing the foundation year, drawing / design foundation courses, as these types of "skills" are less important to Fine Artists producing "Conceptual Art" (Again Conceptual Fine Art)
