Illinois Media School has a good concept but in my opinion, lack the direction & focus for students. I wholeheartedly agree with you get out of it what you put into it. I graduated in 2018 and it has changed my life, but my issues with Illinois Media School first came with repetitive learning. Because of the tiny class sizes, we would eventually join 2 other classes that started before and after us. We learned the same thing at least 3 different times because we had to catch everyone else up so that we could all move forward in the same lesson. Also this school could take into consideration on what classes you force people to take, I was strictly there for radio. But I spent weeks on creating a music video and other videography jobs that I felt was completely irrelevant to me. Perhaps it could be presented as an elective. But instead of learning videography that time could have been spent on voice training, a more in depth lesson on Adobe Audition, actually learning a board, learning some of the professional lingo in the industry, etc. One of the things I was excited about was that I didn't have to take those pesky GE classes that you have to take at a traditional college or university. But in reality this school isn't any different because a lot of us were still forced to take classes we did not want to take. Thanks for reading have a great day =)
