Second time attending a training and Full Sail and I still am giving them 5 stars! One update I can give from my previous review; plenty of lunch spots around. read more

Full Sail University - OCPS ELA Coaching Meeting - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Students at this school are genuinely only viewed as $$$. Help requests are mostly ignored by 90% of staff. The advisors brush off genuine concerns (this has been the case with me and now 11 other students in other programs) At the end of my time for bachelors I wish I would've spent 1/5th the money towards bootcamps and more focused programs. I was told which program to enter. Then denied on 3 separate attempts to change programs. Now shocker after talking to my "advisor" over the last 2 years on my concerns for the program. IT NOT LONGER EVEN EXISTS AS IT WAS. Even the school realizes how terrible it is. They just refuse to let you get you moneys worth and want you to sit in purgatory until they get your money. My plea to enter in a music course was denied and I was told "audio production". This course has had 4-5 actual music focused classes and about 8 in gaming. I told them I never wanted to work with Foley and gaming. So what better could they do to try and insure someone would drop out and pay them still? Stick them in a failed program and blame the student. This school is pathetic. 4 friends I've made from this school. 2 in Game Dev, 1 in Graphic Design and 1 in Sports casting. They have all graduated and have said they learned so little in their fields they don't even feel qualified to get work. The only way they can get anything is to go back for their masters and hope they finish getting the training required TO START. read more

Terrible fucking college. Overpriced. They don't answer the phone. I called several times because I had to stop a class in the middle of the semester do to health issues would even offer a doctors note. They didn't answer. Don't believe there ridiculous fake views this school is fake! read more

Bad Online School Service I took online classes here back in 2022 for Creative Writng and my grades start going from good to bad in addition, The Work is not hard . While attendinfg this online school I dealt with poor administration teachers and made several complaints at school. As of today half of my financial aid is gone and they not have yet said they were sorry in addition, Sent me a letter . This school is not worth going to and they professionalism in addition, Is horrible. I am no longer interested in attending online classes here and I hate in any event, Going to school read more

We went to an open house at Full Sail for the youngest who is interested in Game Art Design. She had spoken to them on the phone for over an hour and they had her very excited for the program. They told her they had scholarships that would cover most, of not all, of her tuition. They also told her they would help with housing, as they do not have student housing on campus. First, the campus is obviously well-funded. Great. Lots of bells and whistles and facades. They greeted us, and a very large group of other kids/parents, and herded us into a large studio where a host and videos were hyping up the school and the projects their alumni have worked on. Then they broke the group down into smaller groups based on what their "degree" interest was. They took them into classrooms with laptops and gave them a sample lesson on game design and game programming. Thank goodness they had student helpers as most of the kids were lost as it went so fast. During this time I did some research online about the school and unfortunately wished I had done it prior to making the drive from Jax. From what I read and what we witnessed, most, if not all, of the "teachers" are former students. They don't have teaching degrees and some do not have real-life experience in what they are teaching other than going to classes. The admissions director gave a talk and then brought out former alumni for a roundtable session. There was not a Q&A session, which I found somewhat odd. We were fed a catered lunch and then sent back to another area for specific information. They had info on housing, admissions, financial aid, and general questions. I asked in admissions what their graduation rate was and was told, "well, if you look it up online it will show 30%, but it's really closer to 60-70%". The rationale behind this is that it is a 20-month program, and very few finish in that time, therefore skewing their results. Uh, no, it is what it is. My daughter asked about housing assistance, and they told her she could take out a loan for rent. My daughter said, "I'm not been adulting very long but even I knew this was not a smart idea." And don't even ask about credits transferring as you will get the most convoluted answer, if any at all. They do not offer any classes where the credits will actually be accepted by an accredited university. This is a big red flag to me. And now tuition - you won't get a straight answer about that either, but I finally did get someone to say that it's around $91,000 for the program my daughter was interested in. $91K? For 20 months. And they expect you to go to class 40 hours a week, and then most work an additional 10-20 hours per week on projects. So, you're never going to be able to work during school, like so many have to to pay for expenses. All in all, it sounds great and looks great, but just not the school for us. First, the cost. Second, you can't transfer any credits, so if you end up hating what you've started, you have to start over at zero. Third, it just felt more like a timeshare presentation, and no one really wanted to give straight answers to the more pertinent questions. Do your research. Maybe it works out well for some. Obviously they're doing something right as they've been in business for 40 years, but it is a for-profit college, and that alone tells you a lot. read more

Full Sail University - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I'd be very very cautious. I have yet to find many instructors or even course directors with applicable knowledge qualifications and experience to be teaching said subjects. full sail is laughable in many industries and it is essentially a trade school. my experience with my bachelors and masters (dropped and went elsewhere) has been god awful with under qualified instructors, you tube will honestly teach you more. I hire graphic designers in my current role and I do not even interview full sail students (even as an alumni) because I know they won't have the full scope after the program. severely lacking for real world application. read more

Full Sail University student admissions are very unprofessional. I couldn't even get through the admission process because the reps were more concerned with me sharing personal information and then sharing there own personal information every single phone calls. After I asked if it could be more focused toward my actual enrollment the rep got mad and hung up the phone on me . All I wanted was to take classes not spend 45 minutes every single phone calls discussing our personal lives. I don't recommend this college to anyone but if you just want to talk about your personal life definitely give them a call. read more

DO NOT GO TO FULL SAIL SCAMIVERSITY. You may ask, why not??? just do a quick Google search. they must be on their hundredth lawsuit by now. the only thing full sail offers is false promises. they promise that you'll have a job and brag about how many graduated get jobs right out the gate. the reality is that a full sail degree doesn't open any more doors than just learning by yourself on YouTube would. they can barely even manage to get their accreditation renewed and it's a huge red flag in the industry. most companies are very weary of full sail graduates and will refuse to hire you. go to a real university. it doesnt matter if it's being paid for with grants or scholarships, it's a waste of your money and time. why do you think they give away so many scholarships? they are so hungry for money and they don't give a shit about you or what happens to you when you leave. literally everyone I know got that $5000 scholarship from them (or however much it was, I don't remember) and all you had to do was write a paragraph lmao. huge red flag. they'll give you 5k so you feel more comfortable giving them 100k. Gary Jones, one of the co founders, can be seen every day pulling up on campus in a different car that costs $100k+. meanwhile, they are doing mass layoffs over zoom phone calls because they can't afford to pay the people that actually work there and make the place run smoothly? doesn't make any sense. One of the other co-founders owns millions of dollars worth of property in the Orlando and Winter Park area. Wonder where all of that money came from, huh? Most of your money isn't actually going to the school, it's going straight into all the co-founders pockets while the people who work there are struggling to pay their mortgages and are being let go for no good reason other than cost-cutting measures. Just go somewhere else. Go to a REAL school. read more

Terrible. They lead me on in terms of admission being good, just needing to fill out the info on the 'Full Sail One' type intro stuff to attending, etc and acted nice-as-pie to my face while doing so. I'd even paid $50 just to get a replacement HS Diploma (as mine had gotten 'lost in the shuffle) and $20 for a background check and yet ~ then later on, after all this time, effort and money spent just to be ready to attend, without warning nor reason why, they kicked me to the curb. They sent me a terse, hostile email explaining I wasn't allowed to attend without real explanation nor any further explanation as to why. When I'd called and asked they gave me a bullshit lie that it was 'my background check' - but that was obviously also a lie as it came up with no files on me, and they refused to even let me talk to my former advisor nor any person not part of their hostile 'end of student enrollment' team nor address why the faceless Karens had decided I shouldn't attend. If I could, I'd rate it 0/10. Would not attend, clearly another ripoff scam university hiding behind a combo of anonymity and faceless disdain.... read more

This school is such a scam. A degree from here is absolutely worthless. The instructors don't even review students assignments, they just copy and paste their feedback and hand out grades. No other school will accept credits from Full Sail. Not only is the school's tuition exextremely expensive, there are lots of other hidden fees. It's an absolute nightmare read more

I graduated and was left in the street with nothing, same thing with the rest of the class. Full Sail sells you an illusion, it keeps you entertained but in the real world you are not competitive. Full Sail may show you what a Cesar salad is made of and show you the ingredients. But in the real world you need to know how to prepare and toast the bread, prepare the dressing and choose the ingredients for it... They tell you for 15 minutes there is something called Color Theory and THAT IS IT! You think you know about Color Theory now. You literally become a show off, an ocean of knowledge one millimeter deep, you end up feeling like a failure the next 3 to 5 years where you end up working in real state or Uber. You will only going to make it in life if you have a real solid career. All those people Full Sail brags about in the industry they all took other education that was cheaper and profitable. read more

It cybersecurity on-point this school is everything the progress i've made in the past month (30-days) is phenominal

The reality of attending Full Sail University turned out different than what was told to me during enrollment process since there were further costs associated with tuition after being awarded the "Momentum Scholarship"and the "technology scholarship" which turns out to be a scholarship that doesn't cover costs. I was told that I needed to give them an additional $1,642.00 before I would start classes in March. I was initially supposed to start on February 5th however there were issues with my email then I was enrolled in the wrong class and that put me behind at least three days and assignments were due on Sunday so I contact them and they pushed me back to a March start date and that's when they told me about the additional costs. And after speaking with a Tyler and Neal and the way they treated me on the phone they were very uncaring and they could care less if enrolled in their school or not and this is the attitude of Full Sail University. As an older learner I'm going to look at another school that actually care about potential student instead of profit. So in other words they misled me and lied to me. read more

They will treat you like a kid, even though you are a 42 year old Military Veteran. Their grading schedule will change from class to class. They don't care if you are an adult with a full time job and other life necessities to attend to. Don't waste your time here. You can research and get more information on your own than through the "Teachers". The "Teachers by the way, don't teach you. YOU do all of the research! What am I paying for then? Go to a real school! read more

It's university is really incredible. Their programs are very impressive and I've worked at their Career Fair twice over the past few years.

Full Sail has been an awesome experience for my son, from admissions to orientation week, and now taking classes. He calls me to share what he is learning in his classes and shares with excitement. The project-based, real-world assignments ignite a thirst for learning and collaboration with his peers. He comments regularly about the professor's goals of teaching the students how to "learn to learn" to prepare for the gaming industry. Understanding the fast pace and ever-changing nature of gaming, the professors want the students to be ready to hit the ground running and have the skills to tackle the demands of the industry. My son has also shared that he looks forward to class and when he has a break during a 4 hour class, he is excited to get back to class to hear what the professor is going to teach. In addition to the long class days, he will spend several hours in the library working on group projects. These demands/expectations are not met with dread but with excitement. When a student gets to chance learn in an area of passion, pared with meaningful assignments, the requirements become challenges and opportunity for growth. I am also impressed with the business seminars that are required in addition to the classes. After only two sessions of classes, he is already thinking about networking and building his portfolio. He attended seminars that have sparked more questions and inspired him to research answers to develop his personal brand. This school is such a refreshing alternative to conventional college. I feel like my son is actually learning valuable information that will be applied to a professional job with skills that employers are seeking. read more

This is the most unorganized, lying, misinforming school I ever known. First multiple workers call you and when you call them you talk to multiple ppl each time. And with that you'll get different information and some of it may not correct. I have tried to get my daughter enrolled for almost a year. I was told about receiving the full Pell grant when it was time to start and payment was being finalized bc I'm paying out of pocket I was told I wasn't getting the full amount of Pell grant and I'm like so the 3-5 ppl I spoke to were all lying. So ok. So I pushed the start date back 3 months. She's about to finalize everything and we get to the financial aide and money again and I'm quoted a lower amount of Pell grant receiving and now I'm pissed. They come up with more excuses. I'm glad my daughter didn't sign any enrollment agreement bc it was weird that it stated the full amount to be paid even though I had a piece of the Pell grant and when questioned they said it wouldn't have it on there and I'm like she's not signing anything that info is not correct . Especially with it saying the broke down payments on it. They couldn't Errol me at first how much Pell grant I was getting but later on speaking to a different person that is when I found out of the decrease amount. They couldn't send me a copy of my actual payments and Pell grant amount on it which was weird . I have a 4 year degree from an accredited college and never had this much trouble when enrolling for school. The school maybe glitz and glammer but it's a scam and scamming folks of their money they can't get back. I'm so glad I'm seeing this now before getting stuck and out of money. Their graduation rate is horrible!!!! It's not even half the students graduate now that's a red flag. Y'all better listen and run! read more

So far, every negative review nails it, please check out the not recommended reviews as well. Pros: -The school has good media advertising for their own brand image. -you will ALWAYS be able to get someone on the phone to start enrollment, 24/7 365. -You get a school email that qualifies you for Spotify discounts. -they take GIBILL as of Sept 2024, you get a nice and useless mac book pro if you request it, mac book you receive is 1/2 the cost they charge for it from your GIBILL Entitlement. Cons: -tuition is not worth the price -support for tech issues takes 2 - 5 days -they will not stop calling you until the day after your enrollment starts, including if you choose to not enroll, they ask you to reconsider 1-2 times a day. (friend was going to enroll with me, they backed out due to the spam calls) -ALL of their study material and course material can be accessed for free on Coursera and Wikipedia. -Web links for their website constantly break, and it is your fault to fix the issue and notify staff a day before the assignment is due, but they only allow the next week's assignments to be accessed that Monday, with assignments due Wednesday and Sunday in a 6-day rotation. -ALL courses are designed around using an apple product only. -retake price for course starts at $279. -retakes are mandatory and you must wait a calendar year to retake it when in an online capacity, in person you can retake it the next month. -Teachers, MAJORITY of the time take 2 to 5 days to reply. (this is month 4 for me at the moment) if they reply at all before end of course. -Teachers change every 4 weeks. -huge warning to those that work a job while attending school. If you work more than 6 hours a day, there is no accommodation made for anyone that works during school hours or hours a assignment is due. -They state there is a grace period allowed to submit assignments late with a 10pt deduction. They never honor it. 4 Courses I worked grave yard for 3 for 16 hours. Always got home just before assignment was due, I passed 2 of the 3 only because I broke a few laws to complete the assigned schoolwork at my own work. One class, the first, i learned they were not honoring the late policy they mentioned when enrolling. And lastly, They do not actually teach you anything. You gain more knowledge reading the comic section of a news paper that is 35 years old (before smartphones existed). A more accurate education level expectancy is retake 5th grade, but focus on the music industry or day dream about working for Disney and Netflix but can only hope to be offered an unpaid internship instead. ============================================================ TLDR: For profit school will take your money and not work with you on any life problems, and kick you out for any reason, while demanding payment regardless of enrollment status. Do Not give them your actual cell number, use a burner phone app or you will never stop getting their calls. EDIT: Photo shows website error they blame the students on. read more

Full Sail University - FullSail University - Really worth visiting in Winter Park area in Florida - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I wish I could get back the 2.5 years that I wasted on this program and the insane amounts of money that I wasted. There are so many things about this school that are just a huge red flag for ANYONE thinking about attending. Preface, during the pandemic I decided to go back to school for graphic design at FSU. Thought that it would be convenient and they said they help with career stuff. 2.5 years later and I've graduated with over a 3.5 GPA. Won some course directors awards, all that jazz. I hate the design industry. It's exploitive, low paying, and the average salary is vastly under what you pay for the degree, until you spend 5 plus years in the industry. So I decided to look into a career in STEM, and so my problems start. Accreditation- Full Sail's accreditation is a huge joke, unless you plan on only going to schools there. I applied to a local state community college and they would not accept a SINGLE transfer credit from my so-called bachelors, because of FSU's janky Regional Career Schools accreditation. So guess who gets to start my degree ALL over again? This guy. Next, instructors. I actually wonder how many of these educators have teaching degrees, because the content is just regurgitated year after year, and most of it is super dated. (Some videos were 4-5 years old) Or, in other cases, they relied on Linked In Learning or YouTube videos. If I wanted to learn from YouTube, I wouldn't have paid to go to college. The feedback from many of the instructors is often conflicting or just poor quality. Anyway, here's to 2.5 years of my life and about $35-$40k worth of money that I'll never get back. Someday I look forward to seeing FSU go down like The Art Institutes did. read more

In the Game design program they will pass online students just to help their numbers and keep collecting tuition. You cannot tell me otherwise. When in month 16 of a 22 month program...there are students that cannot code in blueprints, OR MOVE A BLOCK IN UNREAL ENGINE. Proof they are fraudulently passing online students just to keep pushing them through. They are wrong for forcing a quality student to work in graded group assignments with slackers that don't know any code. Their curriculum is all over the place. A lot of things they should be teaching much sooner. When voicing this to full sail discord spaces, I was shut down ostracized by their cult like behavior among faculty and students. Also 2 TA's had stalked my linkedin profile later that day. Then they brigaded my professional reddit account and got it permanently banned by mass reporting it. They are not who they claim to be. Just look at all the complaints against this institution, google class actions, google warning letters, accreditation issues. read more

Full Sail University - Entrance for the e sports team - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I recommend you change your phone number if these lunatics working for them ever get a hold of your number. They will not stop calling, no matter how many times you ask them to stop it. It makes you wonder if phoning to harass is the only job their "graduates" can get. Do not ever enter any sort of phone number into anything related to them or you will regret it because they are psychotic regarding how they handle the phone. They will call again. And again and again and again, no matter how many times you ask them to stop it. If you visit their website chat area to ask them via chat to stop phoning you, the person there will tell you to call the main phone and will not help you by chat. From the many horrific ratings it is clear that they do not care about actually listening to a student or a prospective student. My rating is from interaction with the recruiters who ew unable to understand what "stop calling me" means, and the people administering the place who teach them to continue the harassment. Just plain horrific. If they would have LEFT ME ALONE I might have gone there, so thank god they ran me off with the phone calls because I now see what happens if you do attend from reading other reviews about "instructors" with no teaching experience or real world experience sending students to Youtube videos when you ask a question or not replying at all. The information I saw about students getting no transferable credit was of interest although I already have my regular college degrees anyway. read more

The past 3 months I have been attempting to unenroll from Full Sail. At first they were very helpful I talked to a person who told me what the process was like. They told me to wait until the end of the semester so that I would have finished one full semester. I tried to ask about money at this point and what I might owe and I was told that they couldn't tell me that until after the unenrollment and that I would be able to talk to the financial team and I would receive a packet in the mail going over everything. For the next month I kept going through classes. This is where my distaste for Full Sail starts. I confirmed my unenrollment at the beginning of January and they said that they would send me a packet in the mail going over everything and with somethings for me to sign. I didn't think much of it because they said it would take around 45 days to get to me. Finally at the beginning of march all I received was an invoice for $1,702 and a notice saying I would owe $4,000 of subsidized and unsubsidized loans. I was confused as when I confirmed my unenrollment I also asked about the money again and was told that in their system it seemed I would get money back and that the $7,000 I got for the academic year from the Creative Minds Scholarship would be used to help pay for any loans I used. It is now the end of March and after calling Full Sail once a week for four weeks I finally got a call back from the Business team , who before would call me back within two days, saying that whoever told me that I would receive the scholarship lied to me and that they couldn't help me. I wasn't entitled to the money because I didn't have enough active hours. Basically I have to pay the money and they couldn't tell me how much it was gonna be till after I signed the papers. I gave them money for a full year of classes and only did one semester. In return I owe them money and only got half of the credits I supposedly payed for. What a waste of money and time. read more

If your looking to get promised a bunch of things and after you get started you find out it's a lie, then go here. My son went to this school and was his dream since sophomore year was to go here. Total nightmare from start to finish. He graduated and had no issues with the education part but other than that awful. Now regrets the decision cause of the many broken promises. They want your money and that's it. read more

I originally attended Full Sail to obtain my Bachelor's in Game Design. I swapped over to Graphic Design my 3rd month in and loved it. graduated last March. i don't understand where all the negative reviews are coming from. if it's tuition, they give you a full break down of what it costs and why. I've also seen where people don't get much out of the courses, but also say they don't put in the time. I've seen reviews about not getting a job, but they failed to network and make connections. it's all about what you put in to it. I lived my time here and have continued to use and build upon what I have learned. read more

The school pries on Special Ed kids who struggle in regular collage. They take money and wrongfully expel students due to administrative error. No one I know that graduated from this school got a job in the industry. False promises, false expectation, false everything. Do not recommend. The professor from my time there were good and the the school is very clean, only highlight, not worth the high cost tuition and the stress of cramming. Not to mention that they charged tuition then expelled WITHOUT refunding. 4k is a months rent that I'm never getting back because they pry on ignorance. read more

Honestly, would not recommend. While yes I enjoy that you can get your Bachelors in 2 years, I don't know if it's worth it, at least for my degree. The teachers (of my degree) are not helpful at all. They force you to join a discord, then say if you need help on an assignment ask in the discord. If you ask in the discord all you get is "Did you watch the lecture?" And no actual help at all. The teachers move way too fast and teach as if you're already supposed to know the material THEY ARE TEACHING! I'm changing my degree and I have to wait until the next semester starts which means I need to continue my current degree until then. It's so beyond damn stressful that I haven't slept right in over a month now. The office staff are nice and easy to work with, but do your own research to what you ACTUALLY want to do in life. I explained to them what I wanted to do and they pushed me to my current degree program, come to find out it's not the one I wanted AT ALL and I should have gone to the one I'm switching to. Oh and also, you can't talk to the other students for help either. The teachers and instructors are so picky as to what they determine as "cheating" that even just trying to help out another student THE SAME WAY the teachers "help"(if you can call it help) can be considered cheating. I've never seen so many people terrified to talk to a peer in my life. They push and push networking for your industry but force you to be isolated in your own class. It's ridiculous! I'd honestly recommend going somewhere else. They say their classes are beginner friendly (at least for my degree) but then teach as if you've already been doing the course work for a year. If you do go here, do your full 100% research as to what YOU actually want to do in life then choose the right degree and don't let the staff push you in another direction. Otherwise, go somewhere else. read more

Oh, good grief... Where do I begin? First, I was 36 and decided to go back to school for what I really loved (writing), and Full Sail popped up on my Google search. I decided to ask for info and the school was calling me before I could even finish the information request. Odd, right? But I was so excited that I didn't think that at the time. (I know, I know... what a sucker!) They tell me how their programs work and I'm totally jazzed. I could actually start school in a month if I got all my paperwork handled AND they were giving me a $20k scholarship to boot! I loved my instructors and made some lifelong friends (one of which I have become her editor... for free because I love her), and I really did learn a lot. However, when it came time, after I graduated from my M.F.A. in Creative Writing, to get a job, I was pretty much screwed. I figured, "Okay, I'll teach college while I'm writing my novels." That was a big fat NO! I can't teach anywhere because they don't recognize my degree since Full Sail is nationally accredited. So, I am teaching as an adjunct at a local college, but I can't teach English comp because Full Sail isn't recognized. But get this... The state will allow me to teach grade school as long as I can pass their English certification exam. I'm studying for that now. THEN... Full Sail lost their accreditation for the Creative Writing program because they didn't have enough graduates. They started sending out paid surveys... $25 at first, then up to $100... to give them good reviews. Although, no one would admit that's what it was for. I received three $25 surveys and gave my honest opinion of Full Sail. The next one I got was $100. I did that one too, and got the $100 Amazon card. But I stayed true. At that point, I didn't have a job. And I wouldn't get one unless I moved to L.A. So, I'm making about $3000 every 5 months until I get my teacher's certificate. I have kids, a house, and bills. My loans are in deferment because I can't pay them and have to be on food stamps. I graduated in 2021. If you're wondering if you should go to Full Sail... Honestly, if you are willing to move to California and go through all that, by all means... do your thing. But if you're hoping to be able to stay home and near family... Take the time and get a degree the old fashioned way. AND MAKE SURE THE SCHOOL HAS A REGIONAL ACCREDITATION! Plus, you'll save a ton of money! read more

***RED FLAGS*** Was planning to enroll in August and told them that I wanted to pay in full ($10k) upfront for the animation certificate program. They ignored me multiple times and insisted on telling me to apply for financial aid because I might have free grant money. I applied and there were no grants available just financial aid (loans) that I refused because AGAIN I did not want any debt/loans. I offered to pay upfront ($10k) for the certificate. I spoke with about 4 people that kept calling throughout August trying to get me to accept the financial aid. As it got closer to the start date the calls stopped. At the end of September the calls started again and I told them the SAME thing that I want to pay in full up front....the guy says okay let me set you up and give you a call in 3 days... Never heard from them and now (mid October) I have a voicemail from the school repeating the SAME message about signing up for Financial Aid.....I've seen more than enough RED FLAGS so stop calling me. read more
