Art Institutes International Minnesota

I attended AI Minnesota. I was told the job placement was very high, 90+%. I did get one 'job' that the counselors at AI passed on to me. It was an internship that paid very little & lasted about 1 month, after that I got nothing passed to me to pursue besides underpaid jobs that weren't even worth my time or didn't apply to my major. I also went to Germany through AI, the photographer I was placed with to do my internship was a pot smoking old man who did a lot of distasteful nude photography. All I did for him was edit scratched film scanned into the computer. It was a bunch of crap. I learned nothing but how to roll a joint, and I don't even smoke.

Alumnus Male -- Class 2000

College has taken all of my money from me. I can't make monthly payments of $945/month ($500+ of that is interest) I have 3 jobs, all part time because a full time position in my field of study is pretty much unheard of. If it were my decision, I would not have even went to college, let alone one that will end up costing me over $200,000 after all is said an done and I go the grave with my student loan debt.

Overpriced for the quality of education. Lab time is very limited, in fact you get kicked out of a lab if there is a class in session, even if there are enough computers.

Teachers are generally unapproachable and very arrogant, some seem incompetent to teach the course work.

Financial aid department doesn't know the meaning of aid. Very scary because you may be graduating with a debt of $90,000. This is a for profit business, and sadly, it shows!Generals are at a 6th grade level, it was laughable. If you are a major slacker and want to graduate poor for the rest of your life, this is the school for you.
