Very cool to see what you guys saw. Did you want to steal some of those models to take home with you? They're incredible! Poor Pyramid Head's head fell off, though.

I can vouch. Gnomon is definitely not messing around. After my extensive search for "games" school I would say Gnomon is for sure in the top 3 of all the schools I researched. Number 1 if your looking to specialize in anything to do with 3D modeling and animation. The campus is actually an old paramount building.

There are ton of cool things going on at that place. They put on art shows that exhibit art from industry professionals almost every month or every month or so... One time it was Naughty Dog for example. The other thing they do that is different is the gnomon library - in which they collaborate with industry experts in respective artistic fields and make video tutorials which can be purchased digitally. I believe there are dvds of that stuff too.

The only reason I didn't go was because I couldn't get funding for the entry level track I needed because I already received funding while completing my BA.

If your good enough though and already have familiarity with 3D software you can get into the more advanced tracks.
