I study in multimedia in Cégep de Maisonneuve in Montreal in Canada. In this program, we touch everything from websites, videogames, design, 3d, sound, video... It's a 3 years program and I'll start my 3th year next monday. The cost of this program is really cheap because it's in a public school (something like 500$US per year). I'm not sure but I think it's the only public school to teach Maya in North America.
Personaly, I'm not really into 3d like some freaks that I know. I prefer drawing on paper and writing scripts.
