What's the best company or college to apply to as an animator?
I know all the big names like Disney hire a small army of animators, but how well do they treat them? Same with Pixar, Dreamworks, or anyone else. Also colleges are a big concern of mine since I want to go to a college that has a good animation program, so my time and effort won't be wasted. #college #animation #art

There are quite a few good programs out there- Paul mentioned a few above . My daughter is currently enrolled in the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in NYC, which is a top 5 program. Some others are Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) , NYU, Ringling in Florida- Shehad offers for quite a few.
My advice would be to look into a program that shows a record of employment and also be in a school that has production activities in the local area for jobs/projects /internships. Which is why she chose SVA.

You might also want to consider an art school. For example, my daughter currently attends Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, PA. She also considered attending Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, MD and Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in Savannah, GA.
