Well Digipen would require you trekking to the great north of Canada (Specifically Vancouver). I didn't know it was computer animation specifically, just general video games, but wha ev. You might want to look at programs that offer a wider array of courses. I don't know of many universities and whatnot that have specific majors in Computer Animation. Personally, I'm going to Concordia University next semester in montreal, quebec, for a Specialization Major in Digital Imaging/Sound. There are several schools in montreal that would offer the computer animation courses you want, but they aren't colleges or universities, but just that, specialized schools. The unfortunate thing about these is that while they do train you very well, the piece of paper you get in the end isn't a bachelor or anything. Something like that useless "ICS At home University training," where you get an internationally unrecognized degree. I suggest you give a little thought into going into a Design Art program maybe. There are 2 kick ass universities in Canada, one being NSCAD (in Halifax Nova Scotia), and the other being Emily Carr (Vancouver BC), both are the king shyte design schools, and they're universities. If you REALLY want computer animation though, check out The Sheridan College in Ontario Canada. These guys are the ABSOLUTE KINGS when it comes to ANYTHING concerning animation of ANY field whatsoever. Costs a pretty penny though. ry
