[gameprogrammer] Re: Game university..........

I'm not putting any weight behind any University in Ontario or even Canada.  
The known older and more respected Universities don't really have such a narrow 
focused curriculum.  ALGOMA must be a new University because this is the first 
time I've heard of that University.  

I have talked with a person or two who have taught at one or two smaller 
universities in Ontario (University of Windsor comes to mind if I recall 
correctly) and they did not have anything good to say about the programs 
offered there.  Stating that the paper you get isn't really worth much.  So be 
careful and seriously hunt for people who have gone there before you make a 
decision.  

Unfortunately I can't really help out in advising you there.  I didn't go 
there.  I went to UofT (Toronto) and their computer science program is more 
general and academic in nature.  I don't know if they still do but they used to 
favour teaching with a language they developed in house (TURING and OOT, Object 
Oriented Turing.)  Which really annoyed me because it was not applicable to 
anything used in industry.  I had to pretty much teach myself 'C' programming 
which IMO they didn't do enough to teach.  

But then most old reputed schools don't really prepare you for industry.
