5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent book,
This review is from: Gardner's Guide to Computer Graphics, Animation and Multimedia Schools 2000 (Gardner's Guide to) (Gardner's Guide Series) (Paperback)
The computer industry is growing at an incredibly fast rate, and it is very hard to get guidance in this field. I found Gardner's Guide to be a great help in my search for an excellent school. And it helped me save money in the long run on my applications because I was able to focus my attention on fewer schools that were better for me.

If you're looking at 3D/CG schools, this is THE book to get.,
By Zero Z. Batzell Dean (zero@3dark.com) (3DARK.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gardner's Guide to Computer Graphics, Animation and Multimedia Schools 2000 (Gardner's Guide to) (Gardner's Guide Series) (Paperback)
As founder of 3DARK, one of the Internet's largest and most comprehensive resources for 3D computer graphics and animation enthusiasts, I am often asked, "Which 3D/CG schools are the best?" or "Are there any good 3D/CG schools in my area?"Gardner's Guide is the definitive resource for answering these questions. I've had the good fortune to meet with the author personally about his guide and it's very clear that he puts a great deal of effort into providing budding 3D, computer graphics, and animation enthusiasts with an abundance of clear and accurate information. Typical entries for each of the schools in this book include information about: Degrees offered, curricular, facilities, student body, faculty profile, deadlines and financial aid, admission requirements, expenses, and contact information. Basically everything you need to know in order to make informed decisions about which school you would like to attend is in this guide. Considering the cost and importance of getting a good education, the price of this guide is well worth the investment many times over! I would highly recommended it. Zero Z. Batzell Dean

This review is from: Gardner's Guide to Computer Graphics, Animation and Multimedia Schools 2000 (Gardner's Guide to) (Gardner's Guide Series) (Paperback)
This book is 100% better than the first edition. Gives even more information on CGI schools. Saved me a lot of time in my quest to find an animation school.
