Background: People seem to always talk about animation colleges, but what exactly is it like studying there? What does an accepted portfolio and sketchbook truly look like? For the second time, I gathered questions from prospective applicants and then interviewed some mutuals/classmates about our answers! We discuss a variety of schools located all over the United States! I hope this Q&A can be helpful for anyone interested in pursuing an animation major.
