Statistical Analyzer:

After I graduated High School, I decided to attend Full Sail (I had just turned 18 years old). I attended their

Behind the Scenes Tour

While going through the tour, you are taken through various rooms with flashy electronic equipment and cool lighting effects. You get to see a live band play a song or two. You listen to various school officials talk about "living the dream" and too-good-to-be-true graduate success rates. You sit there and think "Wow, if I go here, then my dream of being a 3D Environment Artist will come true!". They will tote their 95-100 percent job placement rate over and over again. Everything seems so cool, flashy, and amazing.

Once I was through with the Admissions Department, I was sent through Financial Aid. The tuition price was the highest I've ever seen, it was absolutely outrageous. There was no way anyone in my family could hope of affording it, so I had to take out private loans. A two year accelerated Bachelors degree in their "Game Art" program cost $75,000 - then, since it's physically impossible to hold down any sort of job while attending the school, you have to add living expenses into your loan - which brings the cost up to about $100,000.

I was rushed through Financial Aid as quickly as possible by the pushy representatives. I was still thinking about that cool tour, so it seemed worth it. Little did I know, I was getting myself wrapped into one of the biggest scams ever. I take most of the blame for it - because I was silly enough to fall for it.

You start classes - and instead of spending time in those high-dollar flashy rooms you saw on the tour - you spend your time in plain, freezing, poorly lit, dingy classrooms. The instructors are mainly previous Full Sail graduates who couldn't find jobs or previous college drop-outs. The textbooks they give you are ridiculous - they contain hardly any relevant information - and there were so many grammar errors - my twelve year old sister could probably write better. The lessons are extremely rushed and uninformative - unless you do tons of work and research on your own time reading manuals or online tutorials - you will end up being lost. The classes are so accelerated that you barely have any time to even practice or soak up the sparse information provided.

I ended up talking to quite a few people who were in their last few months at Full Sail. They were all extremely stressed out and panicking since they couldn't find any jobs or internships for when they graduate. They also kept complaining about how the Career Placement Department was absolutely NO help at all. I heard horror story after horror story about how Full Sail graduates ended up waiting tables or working at Guitar Center so they could pay off their massive student loan debts. They all regretted choosing what they call "Fool Sale". Not to mention the school is a laughing stock among the locals and students of other surrounding Universities.

I was at Full Sail for two months. I'm so happy I decided to leave early before my student loan debt reached a massive debt. Still, my TWO months at Full Sail ended up costing me $12,000 - FOR TWO MONTHS! Not to mention the credits obtained at Full Sail aren't transferrable to ANY University.

This school is an absolute joke. I'm happy I left early on. Please, don't be fooled by their flashy and over-produced "Behind the Scenes Tour" - what you see there is NOT what you get - at all. If you need more proof, just do some quick internet research regarding Full Sail scams - it will turn up TONS of results.
