I'm a Junior at UAT (University of Advancing Technology) in Tempe Arizona (U.S.) and I recommend it now. When I first started it was a small school with only a fair amount of classes for game artists, but now they added several new courses to the catalog and I'm very happy at the school. You're not restricted to take only the list of classes they give you, which gives you the freedom to explore other subjects and a more customizable experience.

http://www.uat.edu/ I am going to UAT also (University of Advance Technology) in the fall. I am taking it all online. The school is is Arizona, USA. I am going to be taking Game Art and Animation. They take you through all of you General Education courses first, then some group activities, and learning Maya, and other stuff. By the end of the course there you will have built your portfolio, done an internship, and looking for a job!

Manchester College or Arts & Technology (MANCAT). I do game development here and its supposed to be the only college in the northwest that does it, although if it isnt its the best oen to go to apparently. i do recommend it.

I am at ITT Tech in Tucson AZ studying digital entertainment and game design. Its alright but there is more theory than hands on during the bachelor portion of it. Weh I was goign through the Multimedia portion it was pretty hands on but kind of all over the place.

Bottom line, if you want to go here its ok. If not i dont think you will be missing anything.

Arts Institute of Seattle, is it any good? I'm considering it.

I don't have any knowledge about the schools in Canada. That is exactly what i need to know. I want to go for a course in 3d game art (starting from story telling, concept art, 3d modeling, texturing, level designing, final compiling and publishing the game). My idea is to find a job in canada after the course, which fits my budget of course.
Since I am an international student, the amount to be spent as tuition fee will be huge. So, i need to know about the school, quality of education, whether they will help me find a job etc.
