This school was only good because of the professors who cared more than they should about the students. Now this school sucks because they fired any good teacher who gave a $h1t about our education Im glad I'm getting out before this school becomes a place to suck all your money away and give nothing in return to the students who are paying to much

None.

It would be wise to avoid this school at all costs. The professors are INCREDIBLE but the people that run the place are MORONS and have no clue what they're doing. It's genuinely pathetic.

Graduated generalist demo reel for both Animation and Game major is a complete embarrassment. Quantity is more important to them over quality. Wanting to learn to be creative and have high quality work turns into a skill of learning to BS work just to finish it the unrealistic amount of work given. None of the professors knows what quality work is.

Was once great for audio, when they had all the best teachers before laying them off. Not ideal for photography or animation. Very small (almost non-existing) fashion and web design classes. Also for-profit and the financial aid office doesn't help or care for your expenses and issues. Credits mostly don't transfer, even after you graduate.

I came to school being promised a good education and fun experience. Truth is, once you're in your 3rd academic year, you start to lose class availability, the teachers don't seem to care, and the faculty don't know what they're doing.
