Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Other  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Average Listen very carefully! If you absolutely know what you want to do, what career you want to pursue, and you are ready to spend alot of money pursuing it..than this school might be right for you. But if you have one ounce of uncertainty, want a college experience with friends and a campus...DO NOT GO HERE! This place is highly technical, THE ONLY THING they care about is taking all your money, and it is basically impossible to meet people because there is no campus or anything..the school is basically in an office building. The dorms are rediculously expensive to live in and just weird. Please don't waste your money at a place that you will end up just being stressed out about and hating. This school is so far into the business world that you basically feel like you're working. So many of the people that go here are alot older and have already gone to college and now decided to get a specific degree that the know they want. I really would not recommend this school, I made such a mistake going here,wasted so much money and I hope you won't do the same. Collaboration/Competitive: A-, Individual Value: F Have a Question?

They get kickbacks from loan company with crazy interest rates. Do not believe admissions when they say that only one in three people get in, they let anyone in, especially those that can't afford it. You are a number here. A few faculty in your dept. will be amazing, everyone else is getting a paycheck and probably good incentives from Sallie Mae. You will have horrible studio space accommodations, if any. School does not foster a creative comeradery, you are on your own. School does not have after hours for studying, research, projects etc. Dorms are far away from the school and a rip off. Cheaper to rent near the school. Or don't attend this school and you won't have to worry about it. Very very overpriced tech school. They will give you a refund of your student loan money when you don't have enough to cover classes the following quarter, do not take out more than you need to. Gen. Eds. are a joke, you will not be challenged or learn anything useful for anything other than an expensive A or B. Make sure your credits will transfer out, they may not be regionally accredited. It DOES matter, even if you think you'll go here 'til you get your degree because you might not. Classes are enormous, not tiny and intimate like they say.

You are in a tough spot, many credits do not transfer to other universities, and you would have to retake most classes. And I do feel that it is overpriced for enducation. After graduation, all the promised help with job placement was not there. I would reccommend getting your general education at a regular college or university and then if you want this school on your transcript, transfer for your core classes.
