So next month I have to go take me G.E.D testing and that is when, in my mom's eyes, I officially become an adult. Since it's so close she's asked me to try to find a college I want to go to with online courses. What I want to know is if any of you know a college that teaches game design, has online courses and a good rep. I wanted to go to Digipen but dropping out fucked that dream over so I need a replacement. Help a poor kid?
Dropping out basically fucked your chances of going to a good college.

But it doesn't exactly kill the idea, either.

True, but that was a bad choice, mang.

I know, but IMO it wasn't worth getting out of Highschool at the age of 20 and being bored to death learning shit I didn't give a fuck about.
If all else fails I'll have to try without a degree...which is only plausible thanks to indie gaming.

This.
But hold on, I'll look for you.
As far as I know there aren't any colleges here that offer decent Game Design, but you want to try and stay in-state anyway. Tuition is cut almost in half.
Then again, I'm not sure if that applies to online courses.

We already know of an actual college around here. Not sure why online courses would matter if I stayed in state.

Well I know for Western, my tuition is going to be about 16k....it's like...upwards of 28-30k for out of state students.

I realize I'm bumping but this is easier than making a new topic.
QuoteHey, guys. Thanks again for helping me out with college but mom took it upon herself to sign me up for one. I'm going in Monday to see what I can take because there are no openings for game design until next year.
QuoteI go in Monday. There aren't any openings for game design so I may be taking movie animation or some sort of drawing class. To be honest, I'd rather do the later so I could finally outdo Kay. *shot*

I'm not leaving anyone. I have a lot of work, most likely, but having a lot of work =/= not being here.\
I'm just going to have to grow up a bit, I guess.

Oh...I guess I won't be talking toJkiddy anymore...

You're lucky with the options of all this designing crap and video games.
I get forced to do a course in things I only just like.
After I finish college I might go America and do what you're doing.
Also, the amount of work you get in college is not TOO bad.
I'm going to sixth form, where the amount of work is immense @_@

Six Form? Never heard of that.
Also keep in mind I've done nothing but lay on my ass for the past two-years. To you it might seem like a lot because you're used to it, but I'm not so I can imagine it being Hell. @_@
However, I'm lucky enough to have a very fast college. I could probably get my degree in two or three years.

College over here is like a few days a week. Sixth form is doing 4 courses every weekday xD
We only do it for two years however! =3
