Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Art & Design Department  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Ridiculously overpriced. I spent 2 semesters at AIP in the game art and design department last year, and really didn't like it much at all. The dorms aren't like regular university dorms, no open doors or anything like that, so even though I lived in Allegheney I still didn't really make any friends when I was there. Housing was ridiculously expensive, and there were always bums out in the middle of allegheney square trying to bum a buck or a cig off you every time you walked by. The faculty was generally quite friendly, but as someone else said, the Math and English classes were a joke. My math class actually had a test every other week, but we were allowed to use our books and notes on every test. One good thing about the place is you always know who to go to talk to if you have a problem with anything. I kind of miss that now that I go to a huge university. If you live in Pittsburgh already you might like it, but if you're moving there for a fresh start, my advice is forget it. I transfered to a regular university and haven't looked back once, I love it so much more. Its a quarter of the price, everyone is very sociable, and its just so much better.

The office of admissions will tell you anything you want to hear to get you in. I think they are paid by commission. When I tested them in many occasions I found out that's the only thing AIO does well. Even the job of AIO professors is not education as you may think. Their job is to keep you in as long as possible. A very clever trick! Preparedness: -, Reputation: - Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

He shared with me some very good information about AIO. I was very suspicious of this school! Just in the last two years, the dean of AIO disappeared and was replaced by another (Donna Paine) from nowhere. This one like the previous one had no credentials whatsoever. Who are these people? There is no way to know; but they have one thing in common. These people have no credentials to be artists or academics. If you don't belive me, check out any of the corporate's officials. Even most of the professors have either fake degrees or no real credentials to be teaching in college. They are simple con artist who just want your wallet and it doesn't matter if that destroys your life. Preparedness: -, Reputation: - Have a Question?
