Every person I know who's gone through that dept. is working within the industry, doing what they love, day in, day out.
Good luck with the search

Thanks for all the great replies. Natalia lived and studied several months on and off in London, and was visiting this school as a possibility a while back:
London College of Communication (London, England):

Do you know anything about it? The one you suggest also looks very interesting.
Chris, I will PM you.
Allen, she will be attending a full traditional art school--animation is just one of the areas she wants to explore. College is a good time to see all the different ways artists can work, and apply lessons from all the media wherever one lands. Her passion, however, is anime, cartooning, and filmmaking.
Pascal, thanks for taking time to post such excellent info!
