A great college for those who want to work in game design and animation.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.7
Cogswell is not the same as it was three years ago when I applied. The current 4 year retention rate is around 30%. The school has switched to for-profit; I would have never attended if they had been for-profit when I applied. There is a huge lack of communication between admin and students, and my program only has 3 teachers for the entire thing!

Overall just okay. School does very little to support student activities and seems to provide just the basics. There are good teachers but I feel like the administrative body does little to support outside of Project X.
