    Re: Where do you study?

    I'm currently at the University of Wisconsin - Stout studying Applied Mathematics and Computer Science with a concentration in Software Development.  I'm in my 4th year of college and have one more year to go.  I've already got an Associate's degree in Computer Information Systems: Programmer / Analyst from Northcentral Technical College.

    Im a PhD Student at Vienna University of Technology, Austria

    I got an BSc in Software & Information Engineering and a MSc in Software Engineering & Internet Computing.

    For my Phd I'm working on Finite Element Analysis in Biomedical Engineering (Involves a lot of Math and Simulation :-) )

    Full Sail - Winter Park, FL

    I am still fairly early in the program but I am finding it to be well worth my money as the classes are challenging and have further me as a programmer in a way no other programming classes have done.

    I am new to XNA but am looking forward to using it and this site looks like a valuable resource.

    I'm a student at the DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond, WA. I live quite literally across the street from MS (at least, the visitors center).

    I'm a freshman in the RTIS (CompSci) program. It's tons of fun so far, along with a hefty dose of hard work.

    Re: Where do you study?

    Hi there, as for me, I am currently pursuing a computers degree with emphasis on networking at the ANNA university. The course work in itself is quite rigorous and what is more, the exams are coming up, so it is high time that I started cracking the books ,literally,

    Re: Where do you study?

    I'm currently studying at Hofstra U in Long Island, but moving to Sarah Lawrence (hopefully! haven't gotten a reply yet, though in many respects it's moving down so I should get in) mostly to be with my friend. I don't plan on having a career in computers so I don't take any courses, but I enjoy programming a lot and I've recently gotten back into it, so it's more of a hobby than anything else. I'll probably major in a second language, or Film.

    Really though, considering how great the creators.XNA site and community is, I don't think I'd need a degree to learn this stuff, and I mean that in all honesty. You guys are really helpful!

    Re: Where do you study?

    I did my 100-300 level Computer Science course work at a State University here in Pennsylvania.  I studied some Math at UVSC.  I am currently shopping schools to finish my Bacholers, I am leaning heavily towards Allegheny University in Meadville Pennsylvania.  They have one of the best Art Programs I have been exposed to, and I have headhunted many schools.  If they will take me!  I will likely attend there next fall if Im not to busy with whatever contract work I get myself into.  I was able to do 12 credits last semester, but it was not my best GPA semester to date, but I was commuting 1.5 hours to work 4 days a week in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and working 32 hours per week.

    I have this fantasy that I will somehow find a nitch to make more money than I have desire to finish school.  I believe there is much value in what I jokingly call "The School of Microsoft" to my friends.  Which to me is the study of XNA, XSI, ASP.net, and several other Tutorials I engage in every day for 4-10 hours.  I am building a portfolio that shows proficiency in Visual Studio Products.  I think there is much value in that.  I hope there is anyway!

    I love the Microsoft product line though, it truly does reflect much labor, effort, and talent.  My State University had an all Unix/Linux programming environment for the whole course, and I am frustrated by how much I owe to them and by having so little Microsoft exposure.

    Re: Where do you study?

    Im a freshman studying Computer Engineering at UAHuntsville in Alabama. I've always been interested in programming and making games so thats why I'm now into XNA. I know some of the basics to programming but not enough to do anything interesting.

    Nick Gravelyn:
    I'm studying general computer programming and web design/development. Pretty standard stuff for the wanna-be professional code monkey :). When I finish up (two years left), I plan to head out to Washington and try to get a job for either a small games company, Microsoft (in either their Xbox or XNA areas would be sweet), or start my own little game development studio.


    It's strange to look at this thread seeing what I wrote before. I went from studying to an internship in Seattle. I still should finish up school eventually, but who knows when that'll be? I also think when I do go back, rather than getting a CS degree (since I know pretty much everything they'll teach me and possibly more) I might get one in psychology. I always wanted to be good at AI afterall. Now I just need to get that job at Microsoft and my plan will be complete ;).
