Of course the employees of FS have tried to paint this school as worth it on this platform of reports. MacBooks are cool, but not worth $62k (or a minimum of $7k if you drop the first semester). They try to sell the LaunchBox front and center hoping under privileged children and adults will take the bait. If it’s the MacBook you want, save 1-4 checks and get one. Heck the rest of the LaunchBox (depending on your field) is easily obtainable.

Just get the resources yourself if that is what sold Full Sail to you. Now, to the education. If you have been to traditional colleges before FS, you will notice a HUGE difference in education. Obviously the price is the biggest difference. For $63k you can pay your whole college years in community college transferring to a University. I made a complaint saying it’s a very basic, impersonal way of learning and was told it’s accelerated. I know this but I don’t recall that being a valid reason for a one shoe fits all way of teaching.

The actual teaching is a joke. I made another complaint that you can view all non-GoLive FOR FREE on TedTalks and YouTube. I was told, no the YouTube videos are private and only available to students. That’s a lie. I signed into 3 gmail Accounts, typed in the instructors usernames and pulled up all "private” videos easy with any device I used to watch. Obviously TedTalks is free, they didn’t comment on that.

I then complained about the software the first hands on music course being outdated. I was told it’s the same concept blah blah. If I am watching a video telling me to follow the clicks and where the instructor is going on the software, I expect for the software to be fully updated. Well I checked those pay to watch Free YouTube videos and saw it was a 2015 video for 2018 learning. Updating education to stay current is extremely appropriate. The GoLive videos where you actually hear and see the instructors work is better then the free videos.

You hear the work, see the step by step guides being demonstrated live. But, if you have no issue with reading and following directions, you don’t even need the GoLive videos. The syllabus are all in very specific detail. More detailed than some instruction manuals for building things. All in all, find a community college with transfer capability and go live your music/film/gaming developer/ business/etc. dream elsewhere. Once you go to FS, you are stuck with a huge amount for subpar learning (less than) and credits that can only be transferred to another overpriced, for profit business/school! FS makes over $100 million a year with a extremely low graduation rate. Don’t think they care if stay or leave. They get their money either way. Heck, I may start my own business like FS with better online exclusive education. STAY AWAY
