Recently, as all parents insistently and regularly do, I have been pressured to find a college. Now, I recalled a few colleges for game designing, graphic design, video game stuff which were featured on Extra Punctuations. After searching the videos, I can't find it. If anyone knows the names of these colleges and what episode it was, I would be very appreciative.

It might help you stated where you are from or where you would like to attend college. The only graphics design college with a connection to the gaming industry I can think of is Digipen which is near where I live in the U.S.

I just wanna throw this out there though, not to be a harbinger of bad news, but keep yourself open. I know that when I was your age, I also wanted to get into game design. Yet, I ended up changing what I've wanted to do about 3 or 4 times the past 6 years or so. In fact, I'm considering going to get a Masters in a totally new field once I'm done with this degree program.

This isn't to say that you shouldn't dream, dreams are great. But keep a foot firmly planted in reality. It won't hurt you.

If your not sure about the list of best gaming colleges above remember two years of programing and/or graphic design will really help you get into one of these colleges/ others involving games.

Don't forget writing. God knows the gaming industry needs more good writers.
