Which art college should I go to.?
I love to draw and I hope to make that my career someday by making my own cartoon shows, but I want to get some know how on certain aspects of animation. I have some books on animation but I have always been a more hands on kind of person. So tell me which college I need to go to. I thought about Art Institute but a lot of people said bad things about them.

Just my opinion, but if you really want to study art, I would advise studying art a traditional college or university. Art colleges are really expensive and kinda overpriced for the same stuff you'll learn at a university. If you decide to pursue a different career, a degree from said university will look better than an art school, which are usually for-profit, trade school-like. Some universities, like University of Southern California and University of Colorado Denver (where I go), have animation and other fields of art where (if you live instate), will pay much much less. So, if you live in a state with a decent university, and has art or the art you want to study, check it out.

Please be aware that even though the "art institute" is regionally accredited (the preferred accreditation for any school), it's one of those for-profit schools. Therefore, their course credits usually do NOT transfer to other schools. The quality of education at those for-profit schools tends to be sub-par, too.
Please instead consider the more affordable (and usually more reputable) local community college and/or the state-public university, and preferably the program is accredited within the job industry.
This website is supposed to have accredited schools of art & design (though, with *no* guarantees as to finding work afterwards):

My daughter graduated with an BFA from Massachusetts College of Art & Design. Be prepared, though .... it costs as much (or more) as a law degree.
