Im going to throw out two schools that no one else would likely mention that are worth a look. Not especially prestigious but some hidden gemness to them.
The University of Washington (in Seattle)
The University of California @ Santa Barbara.

UW Pros; Strong MFA program so undergrads especially on the tech side get to work with an advanced program. It overshadows a bit but not on the BA side more the BFA. Beautiful campus.

Cons: Dead center of a large city and Rain (did I mention the rain?)

UCSB Pros; You could argue one of the most beautiful campuses in the world (my alma matter) Two miles of its own Pacific Ocean beach, palm trees 80 degrees and sunny nearly every day not much humidity, Spanish style red tile buildings everywhere, you get the point. Just look at the picture http://www.ucsb.edu Facilities are top of the line and brand new. They have a prop shop that most professional companies would die for.

Cons; you do the full undergrad gen ed program. Fairly competitive admission because it is a popular place to go. In spite of its party school reputation you will get a good education.
