		DigiPen also offers a unique environment compared to most other univerisities: You stay in the same room, with the same people, all day, all year, and you have the same classes, with the same teachers, and usually have very similar interests (most are interested in things such as technology, science-fiction/fantasy, anime, and of course games).
		DigiPen is also comprised of students that come here from all over the country with roughly 80% of the student body coming from out of state, so the student body has a wide variety of different kinds of people.
		DigiPen is open from 8am to 10pm, Monday through Saturday, and there are some students that are here when we close at 10pm and also come on Saturday, although it is not a regular thing that all students do everyday.

	Raph’s Website » Water Cooler Games - DigiPen forces Slamdance Reinstatement
		DigiPen gets to do this sort of thing because most students see it as an acceptable trade-off to attend arguably the best school for a game programmer’s (I can’t speak for the artists) education.
		In the end, one of the biggest reasons these schools make students sign away some degree of control of their IP (this I had to do on paper for admission) is because the schools want to use student projects to promote the school.
		That DigiPen is wielding whatever IP rights they may have, in spite of the clear statement that the students are trying to make, is just poor business on their end.

	USATODAY.com - Video game college is 'boot camp' for designers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		DigiPen is the only accredited school offering a four-year degree in making video games, and it's fast becoming the Harvard among joystick-clenching students fresh out of high school.
		But because DigiPen goes to great lengths to dissuade all but the most serious applicants, only 500 people ultimately compete for the 200 available slots.
		That's why DigiPen tries to scare off students who aren't serious with a drab registration package devoid of pictures and chock full of information about the lineup of required programming and math classes.

	Go Nintendo » Blog Archive » RUMOR Digipen games coming to Revolution?- What are you waiting for?
		Long considered a leader in the field, DigiPen continues to provide students with an excellent curriculum, knowledgeable faculty, strong industry connections and a cohort of highly intelligent students who share a passion for the work.
		Nintendo is directly related to Digipen, and usually takes graduates straight from the school to have them work for them.
		This is a good idea to bring new interest in DigiPen, and to reward young developers for all their hard work.

		DigiPen Institute of Technology is an accredited higher education institution authorized by the Washington State Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB).
		Over the years, DigiPen has maintained its high standards and quality of education, and it has remained faithful to its original stated mission of providing higher education to students who want to pursue careers in the real-time interactive simulation and 3D computer animation industries, and providing these industries with highly qualified and trained personnel.
		While the RTIS program at DigiPen is highly academic and emphasizes theoretical bases of mathematics, computer science and graphics, students must also apply their learning through unique and challenging "hands-on" applications.

	Game Development School - DevMaster.net Forums
		DigiPen is super challenging, You get to a point where you have to pump out a game every couple of weeks (obviously when you get to that point graphics aren't a main concern).
		Yes, the game industry is huge, but unless you want to pay a lot (digipen), or go to a school with no reputation and lots of promotion material(full sail), a traditional education is a far better and diverse option.
		DigiPen is cheaper PER YEAR, but the price of the degree isn't that much different and it'll take you four years to get versus less than two.

	Course Technology -i.t.link - Thomson Course Technology's Magalog
		DigiPen's current four-year curriculum, requiring 154 credits for graduation, is not for the faint of heart.
		DigiPen is overwhelmingly male and a little scruffy; many of the students look as though central casting had rounded them up for an IBM "we've been hacked!" television commercial.
		Although the school catalogue explicitly states that "employment upon graduation is not guaranteed," (can you imagine Harvard or Stanford including a line like that in their materials?), those who survive the curriculum are virtually certain of earning between $45,000 and $60,000 per year as beginning professional game programmers and $40,000 to $55,000 as animators.

		At DigiPen, and in the industry, you will spend the vast majority of your time - or, more accurately, your life - staring at a computer screen and coding something.
		DigiPen also recently lauched Project FUN - a special software program that is made to help you learn the basics of programming games - and that could also be a good way to start.
		C/C++ is the language used by DigiPen and by many companies in the industry, so it is a great language to familiarize yourself with.

	Video Game University - Part of Teaching Tools .com
		In February 1998, DigiPen Institute of Technology opened in Redmond, Wash. The school offers the first ever baccalaureate degree of science in Real Time Interactive Simulation, which is an academic way of saying that students can now major in video game programming.
		There were 40 students in the initial class, but DigiPen now accepts 100 students per year for the Bachelor of Science program and will accept the same number for its inaugural Bachelor of Arts program class in 2003.

		For those of you who don't dig the bits but prefer the pixel, DigiPen also has a 2 year degree in 3D Computer Animation, a degree whose graduates consistently win national awards for their animation work at the school, but that's an article in and of itself.
		* DigiPen does not officially endorse a placement rate for students because as we all know people suck and will sue a school because they failed to place them in a job (as if it was the school's fault that no one was hiring at the time).

	Sarbruisland - DigiPen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		DigiPen Institute of Technology has been around for a while, meaning like ten years, in its current incarnation.
		Originally it was a computer animation school (and a company) in Vancouver and then it became DigiPen Institute of Technology a bit later on (it's now in Redmond, Washington).
		What's great about DigiPen is that even though they are state-accredited (and nationally, I think), their general education requirements are a bit different than a liberal arts degree from a useless university.

	Full Sail or Digipen? - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		DigiPen has some problems (a few lousy teachers, a fair amount of disorganization), but in my (somewhat biased) opinion, if you're willing to work for it you'll get a much better education here than at Full Sail or any other "game school".
		DigiPen offers five undergraduate courses (only two of which are strictly required for graduation).
		You may finish a degree in digipen or whatever and find out that game development is not for you or you could realize that you can make more money working in another computer industry and be stuck with something you do not like.

		At DigiPen, the animation students are learning basic drawing theory, 2D animation principles, animation preproduction, creative writing and of course, 3D modeling and animation.
		Of course, I have classmates who were the opposite—they had previous experience with 3D modeling and animation, but found it difficult to adjust to other aspects of the program, such as basic drawing and 2D animation.

		DigiPen maintains a pretty close relationship with Nintendo, so it's only natural that Nintendo takes an active interest in what's going on at the school.
		However, DigiPen is like any other school in that you get out of it what you put into it.
		A typical semester at DigiPen involves taking 20 credit hours a week, which is a heavy course load no matter what school you're enrolled in.
