Go Elsewhere! I used to Attend the CSG(Computer Simulation and Gaming) program and One of my instructors was a guy that wants the best from his class yet he does little help those that are struggling:

Be Mindful from my experience:

-If you struggle or have a hard time there and you ask an instructor for help, Expect little assistance from the Instructors or the students since they would pick on you if they see you are not the level of most people or unable to produce any form of work.

-Instead teaching you themselves directly, They have you learn from online courses or sources. The one for Game scripting is supposed to teach you how to build an game engine from the basics but they have you learning from tutorials that has nothing to do with Building game engines like Mario2d/3d tutorials instead directly teaching you on Game engines

-Beware when you deal with instructors that feed you garbage like "Be bothered by the Suck" or "The industry set you up to fail" Do not blindly believe them.

-I've seen that not everyone would be able to keep up with the others in the classroom and the worst thing that a instructor would do is tell you "Switch your focus and retake classes back to the 1st semeter" and i've kept my mouth shut to see that they would not help you in any form and leave you to struggle on your own.

MY main regret is going to MATC, The people there aren't that bad just watch out for those that teach the classroom that leave you relying on google for answers. I'm also an student with a disability there, the people in Computer Simulation & Gaming(CSG) aren't experienced with dealing with folks that have disability.

So my advice? Either teach yourself or Find another place to get your education. There are few instructors there, and if you had a bad experience with one of them, you would not be able to get a different instructor instead you'll work with that gave you a bad experience.

---------------UDPATE 12/21/2015---------------

Whatever you do, Don't make the same mistake i have or let them intimidate you/Silence you in any way. If you speak up and express your concerns or frustrations, Don't be afraid to speak your mind, about improvements or concerns that you have. I have seen my instructor yelled at an student for not communicating with the class, treating him like an child instead of taking him to the side and talk with him. If you see this happen especially in classes such as CSG Production or Intro to Game Industry or single someone out for not being an strong performer and kick you out in midterm without any opportunities for improvements, Show this review to every person that thinks about going to the Computer simulation & Gaming since it can and will happen.

And if you ask for help from the instructors or your classmates in CSG, expect little support from them. If you're an person with an disability, they won't able to assist you in commendations within that program. And DON'T LET THEM TELL YOU THAT THEY KNOW WHAT BEST FOR YOU WHEN THEY REALLY DO NOT. You can learn more stuff on the internet more than paying these people so they have you teach yourself and not getting the education that you need.
