I don’t know anyone personally that can answer my question so I figured I reach out and see if anyone has suggestions.  I would like to get a BFA in Game Art and Design but I am 32 now.  Alot of scholarships won’t pertain to me and basically broke most of the time.  I work in finance which now I want to persue something in art since it is my talent. The price at the Art Institute and others are crazy.  I am in the east coast US.  There is Full Sail university but it looks kinda a fishy.  Would certificates be enough or I need to find a way to get to school?  I am learning Softimage Mod Tool and Adobe Flash right now on my own.  But instead of looking all over the internet for answers all the time, which takes up alot of time, I was wondering what the art community does or schools they have gone to or what.  Any information would be helpful so I know where I stand.  Thanks a million
