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)

yeah, since art institute of philadelphia in not in big cities like florada, new york and california's, i always thought that it will not be "fully equipped" and the one in pittsburgh didnt have a good reputation, even though it offers Game Art. conceptual fine art is interesting, but i wanted to focus more on computer aspect of the art. I would really want to go to Full Sail, but it is damn expensive as well ......
