Hey guys, Does anyone know much about this place?
Is it a good place to go to school at, etc?
I sent away for their info, course list, and stuff but im not sure I want to spend 2-4 years at the place based on that alone.

It's in Redmond, WA and specializes in video/computer game design and programming as well as 3D Modeling.

Any of you heard anything about it? http://www.digipen.com/

Hey yeah I've heard of the place. It has two courses going right now, one for computer sciences, and one for digital arts.

I'm not really sure what their degree is worth in the industry, but I do know someone who goes there. Hes in the computer science half of of the school and it all sounds good if you wave the massive work load they give him.

To lay it flat out this is not a part time school. You cant take classes and expect to get in a good twenty hours a week at your job some place else.

If you want I can find out more about the the digital arts program for you.

That would be great if you dont mind!

I'm looking around at different WA State universities graphic arts programs.

Im really thinking about UW right now.

I've heard a lot about digipen. I was going to go there to get a comp sci degree since they train u specifiacally for videogames. Plus graduates of a 4 year degree WILL land sweet jobs at like Dreamworks, etc. But it is run my NIntendo i belive so there could be some problems. I heard though it was a reallly bad school, things were not run very efficently. Who knows.....

Ok the responce from my friend wasnt much more then you would find at the webpage. He says it mainly focuses on 3D art, and the tuition is a little more then the comp science degree. I'm sorry I couldnt be more helpful man...
