but general advice i would give is to research what schools you are interested in and try and figure out what you want your focus to be because animation is a very broad field and you might find that animating itself isn’t what you want to do.

i’m not really well-versed on animation schools but the best ones i know of off the top of my head are schools like CalArts [which focuses on animation], Art Center [which focuses on illustration/visdev stuff], and Ringling [which from what i hear has a balance of both]. of course the catch is that these schools are majorly expensive to get into and have portfolio reviews to be accepted [i think]. the wannabeanimator blog has a great list of art schools and people you can contact for more info about them.

i’m currently attending San Jose State University which has a pretty excellent Animation/Illustration program at a fraction of the cost of art schools. only thing is it’s crazy hard to get in right now because the university’s bureaucracy recently placed some ridiculous standards to get in the major… BUT there are other schools like CSU Fullerton that have a good thing going too. RESEARCH!!!  c:
