Top 10 Grad and UnderGrad Game Design Schools

I've been addicted to games when i was still in my elementary years up to this time that i already have a stable job. While addicted to playing online or offline games, my wish as a young adult is to learn how to design games. If only time and money would warrant, i wish i can study in the prestigious schools in America offering Game Designs or Video Game Development.

As i scoured the web about all gaming news and updates, i stumbled upon to a video game development school in North America - the FIEA - Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy. My heart desires to be there just to learn even the basics of game design.

From their website i also learned that this game design school ranked number 2 in the North America as featured by a gaming website, GamePro. My curiosity grows and i want to learn the Top 10 Game Design Schools in North America.
