Is there a school for me to be a gamer?

A number of colleges, at least in the United States, are starting to officially offer eSports-related programs on campus. Today, that is mostly focused on creating and supporting eSports teams that play on behalf of the school in specific games/events vs. actual collegiate courses related to gaming. Some higher-profile schools like UC-Irvine (which has some good ties to major gaming companies based in the Southern California/Irvine area) have been leaders in this area:

Typically these programs are treated as sports teams, meaning you may be able to qualify for some scholarships/support from the University for representing them as part of their athletic department, but generally speaking you would still need to apply to attend the school as a regular student and participate in their usual curriculum offerings (although some may offer complimentary/related programs in video game development or software development that may be of interest).

This may well change over time, but for the most part the eSports portion of most higher-education programs is still viewed as 'in addition' to being a regular, full-time student vs. the gaming/eSports activities themselves constituting part of the actual educational curriculum.
