Any suggestions on video game colleges/boot-camps for computer science bachelor graduates?

I agree with the opinions that you should never enter such a school. I disagree with the advice to take a book and here is why: you've got a bachelor's degree and so you know how to program but you never wrote anything big or useful (at least that's what happened to me). A friend of mine told me to write a program! Stupid piece of advice? no, you just have to focus on a project and do it, this is how you'll learn. The books will come later, when you really need them.

I wrote a small game in OpenGL and as I was doing it and adding more features, I really learned because I was practicing my skills in a real life project  and when I was stuck I looked at a few pages in a book. But I never bought a book because I just needed a few pages to read in each one.

The most important advice is: DO IT! Don't waste your time with books because if you limit yourself to the reading part, you'll never practice what you read and you can't learn anything at all without writing/compiling/running your own code.
