Is Digi Pen a good art college?

I heard about this college from a friend and I want to attend this college but I wondering if anyone out there has attended this colege and could give me some information about it.

Umm, I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure Digi-pen is strictly for game creation/design. So there may be some game art courses or even degrees, but I don't know if they'd have anything for concept art or art in general. Mostly what they have is like game programming and design.

Yeah... that's what my friend said and I am pretty interested in that field as well. Do you know of any schools that teach industrial art? I hear Gnomon was one ...i think that was the name.

Digi-pen is very closely related to Nintendo, in fact most of the work going on at Digi-Pen is geared strickly towards Nintendo.

Don't be fooled, it's a very intense program. The life drawing instructor there will have you drawing 100 sketches a day if not more.

You say industrial art? Do you mean industrial design? If you are in Washington, AIS has and Industrial Design program as well as some of the other in-state colleges. AIS can be very expensive, just as DigiPen... neither of which provide you with a degree that is transferrable to a University. Something to consider if you intend on transferring your credits some day.

It sounds as though you may still be deciding on what you want to do. Perhaps you should check out a few programs and see what they are doing before comitting yourself to one direction. You'd be surprised how many people end up doing something entirely different than what they studied in school.
