Small world, lucin. I''m going to enter my freshman year at UCI come fall.

is this just restricted to places in the states?

i''d suggest a few over here in england - sussex and reading are supposed to have excellent ai programmes, as indeed does imperial college... i personally went to loughborough where i think the ai teaching was superb - i know i''m probably biased, but i''d recommend it to anyone that''s interested in ai (that''s ai in general rather than specifically for games which seems to be rather a popular question)...

if you''re looking to do ai, i''d also agree that having maths is a very good foundation and will certainly stand you in better stead than going in there completely fresh...

Are there any schools that have a good AI program that don''t cost nearly as much as MIT? Im afraid I don''t have that kind of funding yet

Im only a sophmore in HS right now, but still...

thanx!!!

Government pays most of my college fees And it also gives me an added bonus: free use of public transportation in the whole country.

The US''s top AI schools...

Bit late I know, but I''d better stick up for Edinburgh University (in Scotland), when I was there it had a damn fine AI department with excellent resources and staff. I think it''s been combined with the CS Dept into something called ''Informatics'' (bleurgh), but I''d imagine the teaching is to the same high standard.

Having a degree in ''Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science'' certainly helps you get a foot in the industry door!
