I'm graduating high school this year and i'm wondering where some of you have gone, just to get an idea of where i should tour. I've looked at both Art Institutes of Minnesota and Colorado. Thanks in advance for any input. :)

I graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta with a degree in Entertainment Management and a degree in photography. I beleive the Minnesota school is in the same family (The Art Institutes). A couple of my friends are graduates from the multimedia course. One of them now has a great job at an architectural firm and does a lot of previz architectural renderings for some great clients here in Atlanta. As for myself, I have been working for a 3D graphics house mostly doing commercial and web graphics. We also do a good bit of R&D and software development. The Art Institute chain has some good schools. As with all schools you only get out what you put in. I ran across this link a while back for the Renaissance Center. They seem to have a decent course on mutimedia and 3D animation. I think that the school is in Tenessee? I can not recommend them personally as I have not attended the school. http://www.rcenter.org/ Also check out vtc.com for online software training. They have a bunch of really advanced application specific courses. Note the first few chapters of each course are free! http://www.vtc.com All the best, Sam http://www.thinkingdragon.com PS: Good Luck! :)
