My two cents: if you or your kid has any doubts about going to college because you're sick of the general school bullshit, and if you're wondering if things will be different at a game school, then save your money and time and don't go. Due to the nature of accreditation and schools wanting to make money thus letting/forcing students to use federal financial aid, they play by the same rules other colleges play by, and students will get the same crap as any other school. If you really want to be a game developer, now is the best time ever to forge your own path going down the Indie road. With some diligent networking you can even get picked up by the big boys--but by that time, you might not want to get anywhere near them. If you don't know what to learn or want more formally gained knowledge, go through the course catalog of one of the schools and get the books on those subjects. (The course catalogs will also convince you that you don't need to be that smart--to add to the video's advice, along with asking about graduated students' job placement, ask about current students' GPAs and what the most commonly failed classes are. I bet a calculus and physics course are among them.)
