When I applied and then became a member of this school I was told that the teachers would teach us the student the programs in which to complete assignment. I throughout my first and second term have had to gain assistance from senior students to get anything done. Many of the teachers do not care if you need help and many are late for class. Some faculty should not be teaching the courses that they are. One teacher I have had for three separate classes does not have a degree in the digital art but only a traditional arts degree. In my first term class some lessons he was trying to teach the he did not know how to do so he had a student that had previous knowledge on the program teach that class. This is not what I am paying for. The housing that the school provides is poor at best. Any repair is grossly over charged. $90 for a door hinge or $216 for a lost are all over charged. In my houses case we called maintance twice and let the Resident Advisor that our smoke detector continued to beep even after we changed the batteries. Nothing was done for us. When the monthly inspection came around my two roommates and I both got a $259 fine for two alarms being down. Is this our fault or is it the school fault for not listening. This just one part why I am leaving this school and going elsewhere. I am writing this for people wanting to go here. I say go somewhere where your money will be well spent.
