I'm a recording student and a Marine Corps vet. Not sure why some people are writing horrible reviews. If you had a bad experience its probably because you didn't take care of your own paperwork or ask the right questions. Its ultimately your responsibility to make sure all your documents have been submitted. I agree that the admin side of things at this school can be a bit bad at times since it seems like none of the departments communicate with each other.

**Edit: Once you are a student for a while, you will get the run around for weeks when asking about BAH and how the school sends enrollment so you have no money during the holidays even though the suggest you not have a job.

As far as education goes, I find the courses to be pretty easy as long as you follow simple instructions, show up to class and pay attention. I've learned a lot and the teachers here are great. I haven't had any problems finding a teacher to answer my questions.

My biggest complaint about the school is the parking situation. ITS HORRIBLE. I get that is LA, but they could offer a student pass. And its especially annoying that they let anyone (not students) park in the lots. So if you have an afternoon class you will most likely have to find parking elsewhere. Its really irritating that there is not ample parking for students and they chart $6/ day no matter what. This should be fixed.

**Edit: Security treats students like criminals and the school prioritizes the all access tours over students, who pay a lot of money to go to the school, to work in spaces on projects for their classwork. I almost wasn't allowed on a stage in the film building that was booked and had an instructor with it. The security guard literally put her hand in front of the ID scanner blocking me from scanning my ID...like a child.

In the recording building, if you take a nap on a couch or fall asleep, security will find you and make you actually sit up. Again, students that PAY A LOT OF MONEY to go to the school aren't allowed to take a nap in-between class or on breaks. Its not like anyone is camping out overnight.
