[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that you don’t want to offer your opinion but Full Sail is a huge mistake. A friends son attended and I felt the same way as you. In hindsight, I wish I had said something. Strangely enough, the parent has a background in making sound financial decisions. Always surprises me that seemingly thorough adults are involved in decisions that can be so damaging.

First, and most importantly, non-transferable credits!! That’s a deal breaker for me. Absolutely horrible results.

Second, approximately 60% of undergraduates change their majors. In a condensed, fast-paced curriculum, this is impossible.

Third, the student better have a strong academic record entering Full Sail. Due to not adhering to the standard 4 years, the curriculum will overwhelm a student. An example, friends son not strong in math and had to jump right into classes that overwhelmed him.

[b]I don’t know if this is standard but the student also lived in apartment off campus. So, not only in a pressure filled curriculum, but also had to take on the mundane, day to day managing of all the little things necessary to survive; grocery shopping, meal preparation, transportation, paying bills, medical appt’s, etc., that we, as adults, are used to doing running on background in our minds. Young adults aren’t used to this seismic shift. [/b]

Result was all the money parent saved for this child’s college education burned through in 18 months with nothing to show for it. [/quote]

This is typical, there’s no campus housing.[/quote]
