Post Undergrad Comp. Graphics Studies in the U.S.?

AliParr asks: "Having just completed my first degree, BSc Hons Visualization at Teesside University in England, I am considering continuing on to Post-Graduate study. While courses in the United Kingdom are fine, I have always fancied studying abroad, or more specifically, in the states. Finding a course/university seems an overwhelming process however and I'm struggling to know where to start. My interests are Computer Science and Graphics based, with my first degree centering on C++/OpenGL/DirectX and general graphics algorithms. I was wondering if fellow Slashdot readers could give guide me as to the best places to look, and maybe shed some light on their experiences."

You're lucky enough to live in a modern, Western country other than the USA. This country, on the other hand, is likely to become a de facto theocracy in the coming years. Will you have an exit strategy if, during the course of your studies, the US becomes a fundamentalist Christian version of Iran?

If you do decide to come here, I recommend you stick to the few areas where people are still sane: the upper half of the east coast, southern Florida, and the West Coast. Also, Chicago and certain places like Ann Arbor, MI, and Madison, WI, should be oases in the Midwest.'m assuming

To other Americans: I'm assuming, based on nationality and level of education, that the OP is more liberal than the average American. If you can think of other places that would fit the same mold as I've described, please do so. I haven't been to most of these places, so I'm using good old stereotypes :)
