Question: Hi, I'm a young sound designer about to finish high school and i'd like to know what schools have the most reputable programs. Any suggestions?

Answer: 
I graduated from [Berklee College of Music](http://www.berklee.edu/) with a degree in Music Production & Engineering. It's only gotten better since I was there, and I highly recommend it.

Berklee also has a comprehensive curriculum available online.
Savannah College of Art & Design is another place to check out. It's sound department has been developing as a strong contender. The Sound Department is led by David Stone, and Peter Damski is a professor of production sound, amongst other excellent sound professionals.

May be a place to consider along with other options. I had a great experience, although I learned two things from being the education environment: 'you get out of it what you put into it', and 'use everything they have' - many schools are endowed with some great gear and software that real-life work environments may not have all the time.

All of the above listed schools are equally fair choices too, I run into and collaborated with a lot of wonderful sound professionals around town who are alumni from these places, especially Full Sail and Berklee.
