Full Sail University Rankings by Salary Score

You get out of Full Sail, what you put into Full Sail. I attended Full Sail (on campus) before the bachelor degree program was available. I had already obtained my bachelors at a 4 year college, but music was my first love and although I found out about Full Sail late once I knew a school like this existed I had to attend. I did the tour and a few month later I relocated and enrolled in classes. I met some of the best friends I'd ever have in life. The real world crazy schedule experience of studio life made... Read More the late hours and early mornings of my internships seem like nothing. Yes, I agree it's costly. Yes, I agree that you will struggle to maintain the hours required. Yes, I agree that leaving and find jobs is not an easy task..but is this exclusively a Full Sail problem or just a college problem in general? Many of the people I graduated with left and found careers in the industry. Plenty of the people I graduated with did not and had to forge a different path. The arts is a tough career path, and you knew this before you enrolled which is why you sought out this school. Full Sail can't promise that you will soar on to fame and success, to be honest the work you put in, the drive you have, and your resilience are the true factors that will determine what happens to you after you graduate. Before you enroll, before you invest money in a degree in the arts...realistically ask yourself what are your expectations? For me it was to learn aspects of the recording industry, to obtain skills so that I could work in the industry, and to be around people who love the same things I do, and to do something I love. Full Sail went beyond my expectations and it is an experience I will never forget! Hopefully my review will shine light on some of the alumni that enjoyed their experience here. If you're looking for the best school for the arts, you've found it. If you're looking to be catapulted into a dream job instantly after graduation, then maybe you should wake up. It's a tough road to landing a job in the entertainment industry. It's a lot of people out there vying for the same 5 jobs in your city. If you're easily discouraged, this isn't the career path for you. If you don't have the patience or time to dedicate to this, this isn't the career path for you. If you think of this as simply a "foot in the door" step, this isn't the school for you. Will you be able to make connections through networking? Absolutely, but It's too expensive to use this opportunity as just a networking tool, and this is why so many people regret their decision to attend. It's a school, where you go to learn things you don't know and to get better at things you already have experience in. If you don't go in with that mindset you will be disappointed. Make sure this is exactly what you want to do, so you don't find yourself regretting a decision you should have researched more. Every person who has written a review has had their own personalized experience and is entitled to their opinion. I can't say what it was like for anyone beside myself. Take everyone's review into consideration, then decide for yourself if this is the school for you. If you live, breath, and love music, film, graphic design, etc. and want to learn industry standard skills on the best equipment ..Welcome to Full Sail! Go take the tour and see for yourself.

started at their so called sister school graduated in 2019 and transferred to full sail. worst decision i ever made not only are the supposed Bachelor courses i took not able to be transferred to LA Film the faculty also was the worst ever. Anytime had a concern about a teacher ( which is all online so you cant tell me how i should read something i thought was insensitive and rude especially if i'm trying to call me to clarify and you just wanna type and insult me) The department head in Entertainment Business... Read More basically chooses the professors sides and can care less how you feel. Im forced now to finish my program at Fullsail and just ignore the teachers because no one will accept any of the 8 classes i started at Fullsail for my BS Business Entertainment Program which i find so confusing not even their sister school LARS. even though they have the same accreditation and i was quoted the same 18 month program continuations from both schools, now they don't want to accept them. i just either wasted 15,000 on a school who credits cannot be transferred or i need to find out who will take them. right now the only way to have Financial aid cover only 10 classes is to deal with the lackluster communication and lack of care from Fullsail and just get my degree from there, which from just dealing with their staff i don't want to because it's clear were just $$$$ to them especially online and nothing more. Don't get it twisted online school at this point has become a rip off most of my teachers besides my business law and creative presentations class referred us to Lynda and youtube links. so if your not a self learning who can just take curated information and dissect it for yourself trust this school is not for you. i've tried to chuck it up to because i started at lafilm on campus and then online but i felt the teachers still cared a lot more just about my well being and success rate. someone who is getting straight A's and B's wouldn't randomly get 2 F's in courses if something clearly didn't happen, but goes back to my earlier point they don't care. I'm not sure how on campus is i don know when younger and i toured the school i was in aww so maybe going online wasnt the best because honestly to want to go to this school my entire life was such a disappoint this time actually being able to go. Won't lie though best tech package next to SAE that i've gotten from a school other than that, if your not a self starter and can do everything on your own then give it ago or just download Lynda and pay them a fraction of the price to learn the same stuff. This is the third school i've been to in 5 years and by far the worst and most expensive of them all. LARS AND SAE so much better from a faculty student standpoint.
