Undergrad
Southern Methodist Univiersity - Got my bacholors in Computer Science and I could have had a minor in Math if I had bothered to declare it (whoops). I really wouldn't recommend SMU for a CS degree by the way.

I started in 2000 and graduated in 2005. I kind of took an extra year (my victory lap) since I didn't believe in studying, doing homework, or going to class my freshman year. My piece of advice to people going to their first year: even if it's an 8AM class go to class.

Grad School
The Guildhall at SMU - I decided to say screw computer science and went into Level Design with a specialization in scripting and loved every minute of it. I started in 2005 shortly after graduating and not being able to find a job so I was going to go to grad school for AI but then had a buddy that was applying for the Guildhall and decided to try it on a whim. I threw together a portfolio of hand drawn Dungeons and Dragons maps I had made, did their portfolio assignments, and handed it in a week or two past deadline (whoops again, though I didn't start until after the deadline) and made it in.

I started in 2005 and graduated pretty high in my class in 2007. I forgot who was top in GPA (I was close I'm sure) but definitely one of the top LD's skillwise (especially scripting) though I was one of the last to find a job (mainly because I didn't want to leave the Dallas area).
