Thing is, when most kids get there, they discover to their horror that the grass isn't really greener on the other side. You've got more homework, tuition is more expensive, and despite the easily accessible alcohol via the staple college party, your gaming lifestyle isn't really that secure.
If you want to live it good, then this list we found might just be able to help you out.
The Global Gaming League has released a listing of what is in their opinion the top ten best games colleges you'd want to go to if you want to make it big in the gaming industry, or at the least just enjoy a healthy gaming lifestyle during your stay in Higher Education.

Projects are broken into different jobs, but too many people are assigned to each job. Fifteen people can't push one button!
Indie Film is dead and fullsail killed it.
They have a nice campus and great facilities, but you are being ripped off!
They claim to offer real world education but it's not true. Real world education means go out there and intern or work for dirt and earn what you get. Fullsail will not prepare you for a real job in this world. You will think so when you graduate, but it will only give you a basic understanding of what youre in for. You will be mad too.
Want to make games or film or music? Spend 1/5 of the cost of fulsail and spend one summer doing nothing but learning your trade. You will learn more than they can ever teach you.
