Going into it, I had already amassed a somewhat sizable pool of knowledge of design, but I was talked into attending just to get the paper. Worst decision of my life. This system if you can even call it that of education that Full Sail has built, especially for their online students, is laughable. I've had professors flat out not respond to messages, I've had professors who did answer only to say "review the video and try again" to my questions, and I genuinely wish that I could get the year and a half of my life back that I devoted to this school just to be egregiously under-prepared for the job market after graduation.
I haven't even graduated yet, and I can just tell that I'm not going to be supported in any way, shape, or form. Opening the website every day just fills me with dread.
I'd be fine if the system wasn't built off of YouTube and the professors actually gave a damn, but I definitely wasted my life and money here. Please don't make the same mistake. Feels like I payed 11k for a macbook, and a few test trials of 3D softwares, and 7 months of stress and anxiety that literally made me sick.
I know its supposed to be real-world experience but no starter job would expect a studio level product 3 days after they taught me how to do it. Not good. Teachers have given completely false information about the "real world" of film.
Career development does absolutely nothing to help. They barely reached out to me once I graduated and every attempt I made to ask for advice has basically been to tell me I should have moved somewhere else or that I should work for free as an intern. Having a job after graduation was an incentive for me and I have not been able to find a job in the film industry for the past decade with this degree. You are better off looking at YouTube tutorials and finding work as a grip to get your foot in the door.
Disappointed person who fell into the Full Sail advertising trap. They travel all around the country to schools and do a pitch of their school, and they usually do it based on the majority of interest in the class or school that they go to. Since I was always wanting to be in the film industry, I request that Full Sail did a film degree based presentation.
It was neat, they really like to brag about their graduates who work on these top award winning projects, they love talking about all of the film equipment that students get to 'use' during their time in the film program.
So fast forward to when I start my degree, in summer , fresh out of high school, I was prepared to tackle this 'very aggressive full time degree'. The first 5 months of the film program are an absolute joke! Nothing based on filmmaking at all. Forgot to mention, classes only last 4 weeks at Full Sail, so you'll do 1 or 2 classes a month and then move on. Finally get to some film classes, but even still, they are so beginner. The editing classes are an absolute joke, they show you basic YouTube tutorial level stuff, and nothing increases in difficulty.
When it finally comes time to work on your very first short films, you are already half way through the program, you make a very basic short film which is totally fine , but I had quite the experience during mine. Some company was looking to rent a soundstage from Full Sail for a commercial or something, I don't exactly remember. So we had the head instructor of the class pull us all aside one day as class was over, and told us that the company would be coming through to tour the stages that we were using for our short film.
But even better, the president Gary Jones would also be with them, and had instructed us to set up every piece of gear that we could to ensure that we looked "really professional" to the other company. Well the next day hit, and they came through, and the president is saying "yes you can see these intricate dual camera setups that our students use here".
Complete lie, all of us classmates just kind of looked at each other in disbelief at how the president just played it off like this was a normal day. We normally need approval for any piece of gear, I was even denied a roll of tape when we ran out, they hoard it all in the instructor office for this course and only give it to select students So my graduation nears, and my career advisor reaches out to me telling me to upload a resume and that I would be seeing a ton of film related jobs that pertained to me on the portal online.
She helped me create an account, I checked that portal for quite a while and not a single film related job popped up in my area I live very close to NYC, a major capital of production in the US. I would see stuff for small companies that required experience that Full Sail did not provide for us, but nothing that really was anything about our degree program. After a short while I guess they did something to the job portal because my username and password no longer worked, so I reached out and was told to 'figure out how to make a new one online'.
I ended up getting my own job, recently worked on two really large projects and am very proud of myself, but my degree nor school helped at all with this.
Really disappointed with this place, at least with the Film program, its a total marketing scam. They might have other degrees that are great, but I can't speak for them, only the one that I got suckered into spending money on. In my tenure there, they lied to me at every turn. The actual education was greatly lacking. It felt like I was bright taught by amateurs. Even after graduation they still somehow found a way to charge me more money and hold my degree until I paid up.
Avoid this school at all costs. They are a for profit rip off. My instructors were very available and open to communicate if needed. The coursework was always clearly laid out as well as the expectations. I have a busy family, and this degree allowed me the opportunity to have an extreme amount of flexibility in order to make life work around my coursework. I did well and realized that I did better when I put forth great effort to stay connected with my instructors.
I met my assignment deadlines and asked questions when I needed additional information. Some of the instructors went above and beyond in various ways. I believe the effort I put in coupled with the support of the staff helped me have an amazing experience.
