Ragecgi,

Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate the info. I have a couple of follow up questions.

1) Did you attend any of the schools you mentioned?

2) I do want a program that concentrates on Maya, but I also want a program that will give me a solid fine art and traditional animation background. Do you think MCAD or Art Inst. is good for those kinds of courses?

I am going to be stuck in Minneapolis for the next year or two. After that, I'm hoping to move out to the west coast. I was hoping to begin my animation education in MN, but maybe I should hold off. Hmmm....

Thanks again!
