December 17, 2014
I am a young student of the Image Campus and I tell you some experiences of the 3 years. I am in "Higher Technician in Integral Realization of Cartoons" (or in the part of the Cartoons) in 3rd year - 6th semester. I spent interesting and hard times with the cartoon partners, but I had fun learning in a few courses with the teachers.
The difficult course I had was Short Film Production Workshop (for working in a group) and I have two groups of boys that did not finish for the last 6th semester and they have to finish the final short in March 2015, but on the other hand I had fun short.

Software programs are all used by the facu. You do not take Photoshop, After Effects, Autodesk Maya, Zbrush, etc. to install them on your notebooks or PCs.

Da Vinci School or the real experience is not there but Image Campus seemed good to me. My only criticism that the professors take them seriously (or that they demand) to the classmates but there are a few that are demanding in Cartoons.

Advice? If you are going to register there and study:
* Work hard and seriously. To be honest, if you are dedicated to being true 2D artists (I don't know about 3D or video games but it can be almost identical) do not take this as a hobby, prepare with a folder to write down everything you say in the course. They will need their own PC / notebook (not for family, in their room) to work at home if possible or in the afternoon facu, as they choose.

* Having a lot of money until now my family is paying the rate each month for 2200 pesos Argentina (next year will increase), but you stay in the street outside without paying fees and food in your home that do not reach.

* Virtual classroom (online platform) on page. of Image Campus in case any teacher uploads a file there or register for the final exams in December.

P.S.
There were every 1 or 2 days that I did not sleep (with coffee with milk or something that keeps me awake) in the 3 years in the facu and it was terrifying that I had so much stress (seriously, I had an allergy that spilled little in my body. I know if it could happen to you too) in the morning. Until I had the good ability to draw digital on the computer, I ended up buying a wacom tablet in the 3rd semester with a lot of practice using it until much better, which helped me a lot.

At the moment I wanted to share my main experience of the Image Campus. Is there another perfect university for artists now? I imagine that there are none but dedicate the time they have left if they consider themselves to be serious artists, and it is possible, upload their drawings on the internet facu. (deviantArt, blogspot, Tumblr, etc.)
