<p>pipe,
A university you might consider for animation and digital arts is the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. There is a new animation building which has the latest technology. Creative expression is encouraged in small classes. It is part of the $100+ million dollar complex donated and partially designed by the famous director/producer, George Lucas.</p>
<p>The Los Angeles location is a plus for connections to studios and game companies. Alumni from the school interact with students through visits, lectures, interviews, internships and workshops. I suggest you visit the school’s website and view some of the YouTube videos which also give you an insight into CSA’s mission and goals.</p>
<p>USC is a private university. SCA practices need blind admissions. The university offers both competitive merit scholarships and a large financial aid program.</p>
