[quote=Anonymous]I guess one thing to take account of is, as the PP pointed out with GMU, is major and connection to regional industry. The U.S. economy is really organized into a set of regional economies built around a variety of industry clusters that self reinforce one another. In very many metropolitan areas, this leads to interweaving networks among business, government and academe that enhances and supports innovation. So, for example, Maryland has a strong bio-tech sector driven by the existence of NIH, NoVa a strong IT sector driven by the tech companies in the Dulles Corridor, etc. For more on this, you can read the work of Prof. Michael Porter of Harvard Business School. Fascinating stuff. In any case, this might lead one who has an interest, as the PP did with GMU, to loo at a school strong in game design b/c your studies will have immediate application to regional industry where you will build experience and develop connections that will assist you in your career.[/quote]
