Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Design Arts - Industrial Design/Graphic Design/etc  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright I am a current student in the digital design diploma program. I have had a lot of great instructors that actually give you their home phone number if you are having issues. I have never had problems getting a hold of my financial advisor, and she responds quickly to my inquiries. I think most financial aid departments are a pain, I had the same problem at my local junior college and it is a very highly ranked college, so I don't think that's just an AIO thing. My husband completed his college degree at an accredited university and they didn't help him find a job either. It's not the school's responsibility to do that. AIOP does have a posting site of available jobs, but it's still up to you.Jobs will only hire those that put effort into finding a job and not just relying on their credentials. There are many people that apply for jobs, they can't choose everyone. I did notice that my financial aid advisor has changed a couple of times, and that I did not know about a few pending issues on my fafsa, but that's because I didn't read my mailbox where the messages indeed were. I think that these kinds of things occur at all colleges because they have so many students. Businesses aren't perfect, and it is an Art Institute, it is a specialty college, it will be more expensive. I have been satisfied with my experience at this school and feel I have learned a lot. Online learning is not for everyone, some people just don't like it and that's fine, but i see no need to slander the school because it didn't work for you. There is something bad about every college. By the way, I do not, nor have I ever worked for this school, and find it odd that the ones who claim to have worked for the school, no longer work there for reasons of not getting the promotions they wanted. That should say something. Education Quality: A, Useful Schoolwork: B Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

I left and went to a real university with a wonderful graphic design department where I am actually learning about ART. this school will accept anyone with a pulse. it was nice to get recognized for my good entrance portfolio at a real school. the biggest scam in education I have ever seen. go pay considerably less somewhere else for a real education Innovation: A+, Scholastic Success: F Have a Question?

Not only did i go to the school, but i work for the school. No teachers nor advisors do no hold your hand...are you in kindergarden??? do you really need that much help?? we don't learn for you...we provide the information and if you can't keep up...maybe you shouldn't have graduated high school.... AI is NOT accredited by ACICS--we are accredited by the middle states and if you do your research on what accredidation is...is has to do with the location...all of our ground schools have a different accredidation due to state recquirments...retard. When it comes to financial aid...that is not up to the school...its FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID. it's determined by the government..if you have a problem of what money you have left over for books or whatever...take it up w/ the government. we have thousands of students...i guarantee that you could find bad reviews on starbucks...but that doesn't change your opinion because you have had the experience...so if you had a bad experience...that doesn't mean its the schools fault. yeah maybe someone dropped the ball...but look up reviews for EVERY college...THEY ALL HAVE BAD REVIEWS...ppl never post good reviews...but when somthing goes bad...of course they post it...so yes, you can view more bad than good. if you are looking for a cheap school..go to the community college down the street...AI has one of the best program list that is offered...and we are one of the best art schools in the country..how did that happen if we were so bad?? i hope you only apply for the lowest paying jobs or only buy the lowest priced car...that's what you are doing when you choose schools by the price. and no one is making you go to school here...you are going on your free will...there is nothing unethical...you request information...you get the information and then if you show interest..we call back...until we reach you again...if you never say that you are not intereted...we continue to think that we just can't reach you...and if you are that upset over callings...PUT YOUR NAME ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST---GOOGLE IT...oh and also...don't put your phone number and ADDRESS online...what do you think is gonna happen?? do you really think Obama is sending you money?? or your getting a free xbox??? or free money?? NOTHING IS FREE!! and if you don't know that you shouldn't be allowed into college...cause you are DUMB!!! quite complaining...i'm sure you've had bad jobs in your life...or your parents smacked you around when you were a kid...you aren't puttin a lawsuit on them...your being childish and need to seriously grow up...

The school operates more like a money hungry business than a place for students to further their education. It is a rip-off. My tuition was over $100,000 for a Bachelor's in Graphic Arts, yet the school would nickel and dime me at every chance they got. Need to print something? That will be one dollar. Got locked out of your dormitory? $25 fee for that. Left your student ID in your room? Tack on another $25 for not "being able to present to security." Need a new ID? $50. Each week the teachers would assign projects and I was supposed to just go out (off campus since the school store doesnt even carry a lot of things we need) and spend $10-40 a week on supplies and that's just for ONE class. When I was taking multiple design classes everything began to add up. The supply kit is a joke. It's valued at $800 yet is useless as many new students soon find out. $800 for some paper and markers that will never get used. Nice. Take the Art Institute for what it is...a place to take your money and if you put effort in you end up with a degree that most perspective employers laugh at. I feel like I have wasted the last year and a half of my college career. I now have all these useless credits that will not transfer for the most part. It feels good to be out of AIP because I honestly felt like I was learning nothing valuable...yes, I was learning a lot but the information was outdated and most of it had nothing to do with my field of work anyway. I have learned more about graphic design on my own and I plan to keep it that way. Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Collaboration/Competitive: F Have a Question?
