Please think about your schooling options for at least a year before deciding to attend this university, because despite it being more affordable than most art schools out there, 90% of the cases I've seen it's not worth it. You don't even really need a degree for most art career paths, I would genuinely suggest teaching yourself through online tutorials on your own free time than to attend this school. It's extremely expensive, and for what you get in return I don't think I got my money's worth.... Read More Full Sail does not value traditional art and creativity, and only focuses on the corporate and technological side of the industry. I pushed through my degree because I was already in debt to the school, and I decided that dropping out would just be a waste. Some of my professors were genuinely good teachers, but I'd say 60% of them were not very attentive, gave poor instruction, and I ended up almost failing their classes. The in person schedule is extremely rigorous, but if you plan on going to school here I do recommend it over the online option they provide. I had to work to pay my rent during my time at school, so that was not really an option for me. It's extremely difficult to retain connections when following the online option, the workload is harder to manage, and you get less instruction. I just genuinely don't think this school is worth it no matter what your career goals are, and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. I still regret attending to this day

I started Full Sail in January, i was very excited to pursue the Computer Animation program until I actually started the course. It is a very difficult course which should not be learned or expected to be perfected in 4 weeks. My 3DF teacher also discouraged me heavily by mentioning to the class 鈥渋f you guys think you will be in the company you want to work with when you graduate you are wrong a lot of students do not get to reach their goal鈥� (which we did a class assignment discussion and everyone... Read More was commenting how they want to be with Marvel, Disney, Pixar, etc) I think it was very wrong and unprofessional for him to say that, especially since some students including myself dont have the luxury of coming to this expensive school without a bank loan. So now my future looks like I will be in Debt over 100k and not even getting to pay off the loan and work with the company i want. Even though, this school is based on connections and the 鈥渘etworks鈥� they promised us when enrolling and doing a school tour. My father also asked the tour guide 鈥渉ow many students reach that level of success鈥� and he was very nervous to answer and said it is not guaranteed. I gave this school the benefit of doubt since my passion has been art my whole life. I tried to ask my teacher a question about my work and he was rude about it and told me to 鈥済o watch the video online鈥� (i asked him the question because i watched the video and it did not discuss my problem so i had to google it) but he proceeded to answer every other students questions in detail. This made me feel uncomfortable to ask again. What kind of a teacher is that? Why can鈥檛 the school hire someone better that actually enjoys teaching. For the money I paid I deserve better. You also get graded on having a profile picture, which is legitimately unfair and superficial. I have been to college before and not once did I recieve a 0 on all my assignments because my selfie was not on my profile. (3DF class failed my assignments for this reason)I also spent 9 hours doing one assignment just to recieve a 0 because my 鈥渟izing proportions were off鈥� it was a very minor mistake and it was my very first time ever experiencing the Maya software. One of 3DF assignments takes 5+ hours depending on how experienced you are with the software, and he assigns up to 10 assignments a week. also, school advisors are not even on campus. They told me to wait 3-5 business days for a call back. Why should i be graded on attendance and be forced to fail a class even though i received an A or B when the staff of the school does not even attend. In my opinion (and the 3DF teachers鈥�), They are selling you a dream. Good luck to anyone doing good in their major I wish you success, but I do not think this is for me anymore. Just sharing my honest experience.

TL;DR is this: Full Sail Instructors are so out of touch with their students. The assignments have so many typos, bad links, and obviously have no interest in properly teaching their students. If the assignment isn't done the way they want it done (professional level) even though we only JUST learning - then it's a 0 or a MASSIVE deduction in points. Don't waste your money - please just look up YouTube videos to teach yourself (it's no different from the many classes I've had so far where they simply... Read More link a TedTalk or YouTube video). I'm going to start off with the clique of saying, "I never write reviews but this is just absurd." It's true. I am beyond frustrated with the "instructors" at this school. For the sheer amount of money I have spent, I should AT LEAST get adequate feedback on my assignments IN A TIMELY FASHION. Not at the end of the week. I work full-time at two different places, run my own business selling art prints and stickers, and keep up with school full-time. I was fully aware that I would be stretched thin. I've managed myself well until this point. The frustration I feel towards my instructors ludicrous! They wait until Thursday or Friday to gives grades for assignments that build off of each other (so if I need to fix anything I either have to wait for the end of the week or just assume that I am okay to proceed when I move on to the next assignment). Not only do they inconvenience us students CONSTANTLY, they also don't seem to care about the welfare of out learning. Typos everywhere in the assignments, bad/expired links, zip files only containing half of the content we need, and rude instructors. At the beginning of the Computer Animation program, I felt the instructor genuinely cared - I could feel the good intent. The further I progressed, the more it seemed like the instructors progressively got more irritable. They have this attitude of "I know more than you and you'll never make it," type attitude. Now, I submit an assignment about my future goals for my career (which I am supposed to look back on in the next year and see how far I've come) and my instructor deducted 10 points from my PowerPoint because (get this) my goals are "too lengthy and elaborate." I ask why I was deducted for this (one would think it would be good I have thought this far ahead...) and I never received a response... Don't even get me started on even asking a question about an assignment either...most of the responses I have gotten have been, "You should watch the video again," or "I already answered that in the instructions." Why do I need you then? If I just sign on to my Portal and see you've assigned us to watch another TedTalk or video on Youtube...then why am I paying you thousands and thousands of dollars? I am so incredibly close to stopping completely and quitting. What a waste of time and money. Full Sail, it's fine if you're burnt out from teaching others about the animation industry. I get that there are a LOT of people in the program who don't take things seriously sometimes...but don't screw over the people who put their blood, sweat, and tears into this. They can see you don't care about them (and you wonder why the graduation rate is so low!)

Admissions is honestly a joke, here's why. My twin and I attend this school and they kept getting me confused with him and messed up my documents. Due to this, I was forced to push back my start date to a later one. Now on to the staff, the staff do not care about you are education what so ever. You would be lucky to even get a response to a question from your instructor and when your day it would take 24 hours even when your instructor is online. They force you to use various social media to stay... Read More in contact but they hardly even respond on there. On to grading, The grading at Full Sail ridiculous, you make one small minor mess up, like for example your UV's are slightly out of 0-1 space they will deduct so many points form your grade and seem like they do this on purpose so they can make you fail that class and take it over gaining them more money. It's not worth it. I honestly regret joining this school but I have one more year to go before I graduate.

For those interested, I have detailed a full account of my time at Full Sail University in my blog. To all the many naysayers of this school I do want to address a few things: You get what you put into your education anywhere you go. Half of being in these industries that Full Sail attempt to prepare you for are based in deadlines and being able to meet them. If this is discouraging, this might not be for you. Ask questions! Many professors or students love to be asked for help! If a teacher is not... Read More available, ask around about another professor that might be able to help you. Hell, ask a classmate who might understand the material better. Don't limit yourself, join Facebook groups within your industry to ask for feedback! Don't let the first few classes fool you into thinking this school is easy. You will be surprised at how difficult things get and then the portfolio Professors will be very strict on their requirements. There are some professors that suck, like with any college. One I had, in particular, was bad at giving grades on time to be any source of help and my classmates and I had to really communicate with each other in order to pass and we didn't even have any group assignments for that class. Also, being that I did my degree online, you had that issue as well. Getting time coordinated goes with the territory if you do classes online. This is the price you pay for having a more convenient way of getting a college degree. Lastly, I would like to tell people considering Full Sail or any college for that matter that once you are done, you will be surprised at how the pure grind of college has changed you. It will change how you work and give you creative ways to motivate yourself. It might even be a little difficult to describe but I know that, in general, I just feel like I can tackle problems a lot easier. I hope this helps someone making that expensive (but worthwhile) choice in colleges. And remember, do what makes you happy.

Where do I begin!? Okay, well this is a FOR PROFIT ...lets call it organization that will be MORE than happy to accept your money! The credits are as useful as a mosquito bite, the instructors are often rude and take 2-3 weeks to grade your material, the work is that of "writing a personal statement " ...seriously! They do monthly plans that take days worth of discussions, the work most has nothing to do with anything! You can EASILY get and maintain a 4.0 gpa here! So if you want to pay gobs and... Read More gobs of money for an education that isn't worth the paper that the "degree" is printed on, then this is the place for you!! Oh yeah, get 12 "credits" and your still in the hole 5k.

Online school gave me the flexibility to work in the field and go to school at the same time. Also going to school online was significantly cheaper than going on campus. Do not expect to just do the course work and get a job. You need to work in your off hours developing you skills and portfolio to stand out from the rest. If you do not do this, you will be leaving bad reviews on this site blaming the school instead of yourself. Most of my teachers were knowledgeable about their subject and very... Read More few classes were irrelevant. The school also has great financial services. Everything was a breeze and I always had my equipment sent out to me on time.

Full sail is a for profit school, you don't need any prier education just as long as you can pay them. I can't speak for every degree program in the school but mine, the computer animation program. If you pull out a loan the average pay in your carrier wont be enough to cover the monthly payments of your loans. They wanted me to use Wells Fargo after they were no longer working with discover half way through my year. For some reason the School had the authority to tell Wells Fargo to split up my... Read More loans into separate loans without my permission and they wont combined them unless I cosign for another loan witch combines them...? To put it simply the School has a special tie with Wells Fargo. I was singed up in there hybrid classes. Online I experience a lack of help and feed back on my projects. When I was on campus It was the the same since most of the teachers were not industry professionals, Most of them are graduates. They are over worked and not pays well. I remember when the carrier development attended our finals classes and said that they will find us a job. I knew they wouldn't get me a job because I lessened to the graduates warnings about how carrier development won't help you. So I switched my carrier to be a freelance comic artist in the final months. Over the years I have saved up all the job leads I gotten from them and all the bad advice. They sent me leads on the sam day as the deadline supposition. Or a picking pull poll email for everyone to fight over in there job listings for free labor. For some reason you had to go through them to send them your resume but you can just google the job listing and just submit the resume on the internet. But they were all bad jobs. The best one was the free labor with the possibly of hire. I think they set up this system back when they had people in the industry but now its just a mess. The school and the staff breads the mindset of work hard, do whatever it takes to be the vary best and if you don't make it is your fault. Sounds good in the moment but in practice it is cancerous not only to the students but to the industry itself. When they encourage work for free they set the mindset of people and companies to think its ok for free labor. I know many graduates that have been burn by this. Many have not found a job in there felid, mostly because the combines don't count the full Sail degree as 4 years of experience in the industry. Even if you get into a big company you have to constantly fight for your job because someone can easily replace you. If you are amazing for years they will reword you by firing you and hiring students that will work for less pay. its a vicious cycle. I have been in the industry for 2 years as a freelance comic arts. I never needed the degree for my job. My advice to you is that you don't need to got to school to do what you love. everything I do now was not taught by Full Sail. If anything it was my photo shop know how and aftereffects that got me thorough the classes. Which they don't teach by the way. You have a powerful tool the internet to find what you need to know. If there is a will there is a way, you don't have to go to school or in debt to get there. The industry is not like a school, thank god.

The programs are at a pace that will cause burn out rather quickly in the field that you chose to study. After you earn your degree you will have a less than 50/50 chance of finding work in your field. Here is the real kicker. Once you get your degree it is not worth that paper that it is printed on. YOUR CREDITS WILL NOT TRANSFER TO ANOTHER INSTITUTION. I am moving on and going for another degree at a state local college, I checked several including USF and NONE of my credits will transfer, I have...
