Full Sail University Rankings Based on Salary

Full Sail is a great school for a person who wants to be in the film industry, but has no idea where to start. For me, the Film Production program was eye-opening. Knowing what I know now, I should've taken a job as a PA or an intern instead of going to film school, but I wouldn't have known that without going to film school, so it all works out...I guess. When I enrolled, I knew next to nothing about how films and TV shows were made. I knew my way around a DSLR camera and I was aware of the job descriptions,...

I HAVE taken entry level gigs in almost every department. The best compliment I can offer is that Full Sail will accurately teach you the basic workflow and vocabulary necessary to work in the industry.

I am a current student in the Graphic Design Bachelors Online program. It saddens me how many people are leaving reviews who have never attended and who do not even qualify to attend, yet blame the school for their own personal issues. Now, with that being said, like any college or university, this one has its issues. Some are their fault and some are not. The question is, do you have the ability to make it? This is fast paced and difficult. Thought I think some of their instructors could help a little more,... Read More I understand that they teach both on campus and online. They state up front in each class the best way to contact them. Which is usually by their personal phones. Guess What? They respond.. if you use FSO, your messages are getting lost in a myriad of messages from so many different things, it will take them time to find it. This is of no fault of theirs. FSO is easy to use and navigate. I have learned way more than I thought I would and have increased my capabilities in these areas. I enjoy this thoroughly.I am highly challenged with each class and it progressively gets more and more challenging with each course. You get your degree in under 3 years. I've never had an issue with communication with the instructors. I have a life outside of classes. If you need extra time or help, just talk to them, they understand and will help out. The equipment is either worked into your student loans or you buy it but it is well worth the investment. I've never had issues with the platform or email. IF you are having all these difficulties, and are not seeking help, then that is your fault. If you fail, it is because YOU are to blame, not the school. ANY college or university is the same, if you do not put in the effort, then you will not have the outcome. Let me say this; THEY TELL YOU FROM THE START, that networking is a MUST. All arts degrees are about your abilities and who you know. I went into the graphic design field knowing FULL WELL that it was a low hire rate. But I also know people in the field and have prior personal experience. BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO, NETWORK, ASK FOR HELP, DO EXTRA WORK, PRACTICE, PRACTICE,PRACTICE....you can succeed. Stop blaming everyone but yourself..
