Poor education, high price, no prospects.
Most people go to college because they have no clue what they want to do with their life, and magically a university degree will open doors and minds. This is asinine. If you believe this, don't go to college period. It's not about jobs, its not about "enlightenment", it's about being trained how to read and think critically, and speak and write articulately. FDU does not provide this.
If you want to learn how to make games, go to a trade school or take a boot camp, college is the worst option for you. It's expensive, slow, and is currently (especially at fdu) confused as to whether it wants to teach applied or theoretical studies, and ends up doing a horrid job at both. I recommend you work a job or travel or do something that makes you more multi-faceted than being summed up in the word "student" for three-or-so years. Work on a farm, volunteer for an NGO, do something real, with your hands, that betters you, and the world around you. You're not mature enough to appreciate college right after high school, and most people don't even belong at college. When you come back from abroad, or decide you can't go any farther in your job, and you have an inner need to really study some theory and dig down and understand how to develop your own thoughts based on your own experience and experiments, and be able to explain them in an eloquent and articulate fashion, then you're ready for university.
You waste everyone's time and money if you come to college for your parents. You waste everyone's time and money if you come to college because you don't know what you want to do in life. You waste the most precious energetic and vital years of your life sitting in front of brain-dead textbooks and adjuncts who really don't care about what they've been forced to talk about by the syllabus, instead of traveling, finding your way, risking your neck to make something of yourself. You'll just end up being resentful and equally optionless at the end of college if you go there out of fear or lack of direction. Print out a map of the work and throw a dart at it, spin a globe and go where your finger points, do anything but college, I beg you. Don't ruin your life. I've seen too many young people pass through the halls of FDU thinking they would get something out of the experience and leave depressed with a low GPA, a low-tier, meaningless degree, with mild alcoholism, popping anxiety pills and anti-depressants. DO.NOT.COME.HERE. College is for the weak, the enslaved, and the cowardly. Be brave, do something great, or cool or fun. Go against the mold as much as you can tolerate and handle. Live your short life and do not go to college out of high school for the love of god. read more
