I'm 16, a junion coming close to the end of the year, and I have a cumulative GPA of around 3.4 or higher. So based on this, I have decide it's time to really start thinking about college.

I've known about Digipen and Full Sail for a couple months and have been considering them, especially Digipen. But aside from that, could anyone point me to some colleges with excellent or decent Computer Programming courses? The GPA is there for a reference so you know if a college that is mentioned is out of my league. I'm also not exactly too wealthy. I think my family is somewhere in the lower-middle class to middle-class range, so no $80,000 a year colleges!

I'm going to do some reasearch for this myself, and I'm even going after some scholarships. But anyhow, I just thought this would be pretty good place to get some input. it would give me some ideas for what to look into and whatnot. I'd also like it if anyone could give some opinions for Digipen since I'd really like to go into game programming. Which brings up something else; is game programming really worth going to school for? Or is it better just to go to a standard college and get myself a bachelor degree in programming?
