I’ve been accepted to Cogswell Polytechnical College in Sunnyvale, CA. Has anyone heard about that school? I don’t see much posts about CPC around here so I decided to post one.
First thing to say, I’m an international student interested in computer animation. I know there are SUPER famous school for animation out there like Calarts, SCAD, Ringling, RISD, etc. but they are SUPER expensive too. Cogswell’s tuition is around $20,860 for two semester (including $1,250 scholarship per semester), which isn’t too bad for me. Also, I heard that most people who got to join the school’s Project X got better chance getting hired, and the school’s location seems to have a lot of internship opportunity too. International students like me are not allowed to work in US, so I’m looking for schools that offer opportunity for internship and networking. However, I can’t find many posts about the school anywhere, and most of student works I can find are the Egg Hunt and the ProjectX. If you know where I can find other Cogswell’s student works please tell me.
I’ll give Cogswell a shot this Fall. But still I want to know if I make the right decision or not. Any comment is appreciated. Thank you.
Cogswell Polytechnical College - anyone help!

Several years ago, someone asked about Cogswell. So, I checked out their curriculum. It does seem to have a good curriculum. That said, however, I would ask to see samples of student work and get a list of companies that have hired Cogswell students. If companies come to the campus for interviews, ask to see a list of who came last year.
