Computer Art, Animation, and SVA

[Beaumaines]

I have a passion for movies and computer games and am thinking about going to school for either traditional animation or computer art. So far SVA looks the most appealing to me, but I'd like to know what you guys think of their animation and computer programs.

Also, I hear that your connections can be just as important as your skills. So can you get a lot of good hookups from SVA?

i have a few friends that did animation and some that did computer arts. most of the computer arts people are doing pretty well, but the animation people are not doing animation..

Do you mind telling me what it is that your computer friends do now? I'm just now starting to look into that field and am looking out to see what all's out there.
