Full Sail University

I am currently enrolled online with Full Sail in Game Design. I have had both positive and negative experiences during my year and a half enrolled in the program.

First Full Sail is nationally accredited and few schools will accept the credits. I am about to begin a Computer Programming degree with Baker college (online) and they will accept some of the credits but not many. Full Sail is more of a trade school, the different programs focus on a specific area of study and less so on general studies. So be warned, if you decide to leave and attend another college or university you will probably have just wasted a lot of time and money.

I cannot say whether or not the negative posts in StudentsReview are true or false, but so far my experience has been positive. Attending Full Sail is a major life investment, do not make this choice lightly do your research. If you cannot afford it, find a school that is affordable there is no reason to be repaying loans for a decade or more.

Negative - Many of the instructors online are slow to post grades, I have finished one class and only 50% of my grade has been posted.

Cost, Full Sail is expensive if you have any second thoughts on "Is this what I want" go somewhere cheaper to figure it out.

Positive - The online portion has been very conducive to learning. It is very fast paced and a lot can be expected, but I feel that I am learning and gaining something from every class thus far.

The Faculty have all been very helpful when contacted. I have not spoke with a single instructor who was unprofessional, or unpleasant to me. I have not always seen eye to eye with some of my instructors, but all issues have always been handled professionally.

I'm sorry I cannot speak for the campus experience, but online I have enjoyed the program so far and look forward to graduating in 2012.
