Stay Away! The promise you the moon and deliver a cardboard box outside of Cleveland. This is the most gluttonous money-hungry self-absorbed scam ever. They make more money in a year than GM off the backs of students who they talk into taking out $50,000 worth of loans and now in my third year they say that won't be enough. This is because every few months they increase the tuition and the highly expensive equipment you are required to buy to complete the classes. They cover their asses by dodging gov regs for normal institutions of higher learning. Oversight consists of a survey that occurs two days before the end of a 6 week break neck course, and each student is forced to take it, even to the point that they will now allow you back into the classroom to do your final projects until you take the survey. So everyone takes the survery, but if you give anything but stellar marks.. the survey will not allow you to submit it. This forces you to up the scale for teachers and staff ratings until it accepts your submission. It opens up a window if the teacher or problem staff member is given anything lower than a 70% rating, for you to give feedback, and says its optional. You can type in there a couple of words or 255 characters, but either way it will NEVER accept it for submission. So the student gives up and just puts good marks to get through it and get back to the classroom in time to finish the final before the incredibly unreasonable and self-absorbed deadlines.

I have been attending AIO. I have had one BAD teacher, which I rated terribly in the survey. I was able to successfully submit my survey. I even called my academic adviser to iron out some issues with them. I have had a great experience aside from one bad teacher. I have attended a local state university with the best art department in our state for 3 years. I can tell you that the accelerated courses that AIO offers compare very well to the ones at the traditional university.
