I did 1 year at the school before I left, and I am glad I left when i did before I got myself in a even worse position. Yes the students are friendly and the staff is nice, I did have a good experience while attending but was entirely based on the friends I made. But now 40,000 in debt in loans and no degree isn`t fun. I would go on 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night for months at a time. They say the pick the crazy hours to help you prepare for the industry but when really its so they can rotate as many students through the program as possible. You have hardly any actual teaching, most is online seminars and unless you have had previous training you will fall behind and they will not give you time to catch up. You have 2 weeks to lean a half a years worth of material before a mid term then 2 more weeks before the final. They pull you in with all the big talk of students that have gone on to do great things, and some have, but out of all the students that graduate in a year only a handful have become successful in that field after 10+ years. And the worst part, after filling your head with the idea that you need them to succeed in the industry, unless you or your family or you are military you have no chance of affording it. They have no housing or meal plans so you not only pay 100k to go there but you then have to spend 2k plus a month in order to have a place to live and food to eat. And even if you wanted to have a job the schedules change each month and the hours jump all over the place so you couldn't hold a steady work schedule, plus you basically have to teach yourself everything. So most end up having to take out extra loan money just to pay the bills. The financial department is also no help, if something happens and you find yourself not being able to pay your bills and are worried about having a place to live they are no help. Thats what happened to me, they cut the money I was getting in half and when I asked and begged for them to help me so I could stay they said they could not do anything. So they got my 20k for tuition but I ended up having to leave because they only cared that I got my money. So I owe huge loans now and my education is on pause because i have to pay back part of it before they will allow me to reduce my payments so i can go to school again. This school messed up my life and i hate seeing it glamorize its self as something that its not. I dont want anyone else thinking this place is the only way to make a name for yourself. You can do it without them and save yourself time and money. Dont believe those saying this place is what you make it, because its just a cover up for what it really is. A place only the wealthy or people that have already studied the field for years to go. But one thing everyone does leave with and that`s a sleeping problem and financial problems that will last a lifetime.
