Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Music Education  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I think the school is a joke. I have spent thousands of dollars to learn what I could've learned on my own playing with the software for a day. I recommend saving up and buying all the equipment that you use here. Not worth the money and they leaning is so unstructured. Just random people from the industry talking bout random shit at random times then just throwing homework on you like you have all the time in the world. The labs are hard to get access to because of the amount of people there are with different schedules it just gets booked. The schoo should supply the software for your assignments. For fuck sakes your tuition would cover it without it making too big of a dent in their wallet. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

Majority of them draw like little kids, I guess it's understandable since this school accepts ANYONE without asking any portfolios. On top of that, most online students don't have any sense of deadline and turn crappy assignments that are obviously done in the last minute. They don't teach you anything new about construction, everything they teach you can be found in books. I'm very frustrated with the quality of fashion department that they have here. They don't have any prominent career recruiting programs like other schools, once you graduate, good luck in finding jobs or internships. Faculty personnel is hard to reach. Everything is a big disappointment, so if you are interested in applying into their fashion programs, just skip it, don't even bother. Better go to Parsons where the education is worth the money, or FIT where it's a lot cheaper even if you are out of state students. Useful Schoolwork: A, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

Don't expect it to be easy. However, do expect to get every penny sucked out of you. You will be charged for everything. To be blunt, if you're strapped for cash or can't easily pay tuition in full, you will have a nightmare dealing with the financial aid department, registration, and your whole experience with the school. Also, AAU doesn't give aid to international students, so you will be surrounded by international students, many classes having ESL assistants in the classroom. This will get annoying quickly, as it hinders your own learning and aggravates teachers. Not that I'm racist or anything, just an observation. Lastly, you need a lot of patience to deal with any administration here. Your classes may be cancelled, suddenly changed, or dropped the day of class, for no reason. Refunds are a nightmare, too. Putting all the crap aside that comes along with the school, you will learn a lot. Some teachers are much better than others, but overall, the staff is knowledgable and helpful. Just do your work, do it good, and care about it. You're not paying so much money for nothing, so act like it. Surrounding City: A+, Individual Value: D+ Have a Question?
