He just started at Activision, so I don't think he can do this as he is just learning his way in the company. Maybe in the future. More likely in Santa Monica though. They are a very secure facility in Santa Monica gates, etc. If your son has questions about college programs or anything I or my son may know things. He went to USC engineering undergrad and grad for their game programming degree. He did look at RPI, but they were just starting their program and were very disorganized when he applied, although that must have been 10-12 years ago. They did not even know what they wanted with the application. Most schools wanted some game programming examples etc. but RPI did not know yet. USC is the top and my son now says Utah is very up and coming. There is also Digipen in Seattle. They are probably the top 3.  My son is strictly programming, and then there is the art/graphics side also. The ones who go into programming know several programming languages before they even get to college, and most have made some sort of game already. They are serious gamers. It is a tough business. Many who he went to USC with are already out of the business. He has worked for Disney, and 2 start up game companies. The most recent start up he was involved with is called Gigantic and will be out on Xbox and Windows 10 probably in September. At Activision he will be working on all of their games as he is in what is called central technology. But I know he will be in charge of the online marketplace for Call of Duty no matter what else he is working on.
