Fullsail
Fullsail is a ripoff

If you are thinking about attending Fullsail, Erase that thought completely and look for another art school. I graduated with an Associates of Recording Arts. What did I get from fullsail? Absolutely nothing. The whole music industry knows about fullsail. Truth is, No industries really like graduates from fullsail.

Each classes are either month or 2 month long. It is designed that way to accept more students each starting month. Schedules are ridiculous. Some... Actually lot of classes or labs start at 1am and end at 4am.

Professors are simply retarded. They follow the "Teacher's Manual" to teach things such as, protools, qbase, logic, reason. As we all know, all these softwares are very complicated. To master it, you need lot of extra time with it. Sure you can learn the basic stuff and start using the software, but what about extra stuff that is not in teacher's manual? Teachers there don't know. Their knowledge with the programs lack horribly. Why? Because all those teachers, lab instructors DO NOT have real experience outside the school. Most of the instructors are the ones that stays after graduating from fullsail, paying off their school loans.

All the expensive mixers, computers, gadgets in fullsail, you barely get to get your hands on them. About 7 to 10 people get to share the equipment per lab. I was on the mixer total of 4 hours, during the whole month of that class.

Fullsail accepts too many students every month. All the friends I made in Fullsail couldn't get a real job in the music industry, and now they are struggling to pay off the ridiculous amount of loan.

Please don't fall for those advertising..."FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS." "High End Equipment!" "Get your degree in 1 year!"... All those are bullcrap. Get to meet couple of the instructors there, ask them about couple stuff, then you'll find out that they really don't know much.
