    Hello. I wanna to know about possibilitys to study programming in USA. I`m from Lithuania, yet I`m only in 11 form (16 y.o.). So... maybe some of you knows good universitys or colleges where I can study programming. I programming in C++ about year, IMHO I learnt pretty much, basicly I`m learning Win32 API...so I wanna to proceed that specification. Also I want to learn ASM, and other low level things. So is there any that king of university or college? Or maybe you know relative collages or universities? Thank you.

    You may want to visit some technical colleges (MIT, ITT) and see what kind of degrees they have to offer.

    Did you just put ITT and MIT in the same category? What?

    Ouch.



    Another you might want to check into is CMU (Carnegie Mellon).

    Just because they both have "Tech" in the title doesn't mean they're at all similar. MIT's one of the most respected universities in the world. ITT is crap.
