Hi everyone! Wondering if I could bother you all with a quick question.

I'm a 33 year old female who's making what is probably a really stupid choice and trying to enter the video game industry somewhat late in life.  I'm not even sure if school is a good idea, but since I can't presently get a job of any kind in the industry, it seems like the only option.  I read the really good article on this site about picking schools, which listed a number of local programs.  I just wondered if anyone here had any specific experience with any of the schools mentioned.  I've been looking at UB, only because they seem relatively unselective and willing to basically design a program for you as long as they get paid.  But I read terrible, terrible things about them on college rating sites: that the teachers are incompetent, that they teach no specific skills.  Anyone been through their SDE program?

Thanks so much for helping a blundering novice.

Thanks so much Gabriel — I'll write you!

if your looking to go out of state, Univ of Central Florida has one fo the best VG programs in the country. Every student interns with EA games in Orlando, and EA usually hires from that program as well.
