school choices

I'm going to guess that someone probably already asked about this but I'll ask again cause I can't find the thread. How do independent schools like Art Institute, Ringling and Collins compare to going to a true university. Say that I got a degree from an independent school and actually did put in the effort to have a good skill-set ready, how would that compare in the real world for me when a company takes a look? Also, are any of these independent schools offering degrees particularly better than others that anyone knows about?

Well, in the past I have worked with 3d studio max some but dropped it and picked up programming as a new hoby. Right now I'm planning to go right back into 3d designs and animation because I enjoyed it a lot and see if I can fit in some spare time to learning about gaming engines and OpenGL/DirectX. I have done some college courses but not past my associates yet but if I can find me a school that is reputable and will teach me everything I need to know I would probably rather do that.
