For this author. This thread? Necro unforunately.. Sadly I am too late. I am a graduate going on 8 years now. My ENTIRE CLASS (125 students) only ONE person is employed in the field the school was designed for (Computer Animation) as of 2010 (the year they all pretty much stopped as well as myself)
THINK of those odds 125 students ONE is employed in the field.

My dad and I routinely curse this shithole school for racking up insurmountable debt (62 grand total!, yes SIXTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS) For which he is now helping me payback, your kids burden has now became your burden. Sallie mae (The Student Loan-Sharks) are a bunch of VULTURES late ONE DAY of payment and you will get (no exaggeration) A phone call to yours and or/ cosigners PLACE OF BUSINESS embarrassing the crap out of them or you (if you even have a job at all) A phone call or Text to your cell phone, and mail sent to every cosigner.
The “85% placement rate” Completely made up. They tried to place a friend of mine who graduated from the Game Design program… AT GAMESTOP. F THAT! He took it as he was broke considered him “Placed” and then encouraged him to become a Lab Assitant graveyard shift at Fullsail. OH GEE the Corporate wheel is a turnin!
Oh then theres the ignore factor of just about every major buisiness entity, they dont respect, or CARE about fullsail. Your not buying a job, because youll never be employed. Its not a blemish on your resume, its like it doesnt even exist. I was not chosen for a position at a local firm ran out of a mans house, but the person liked me and went ahead and called me and told me he was going to go for this other guy. I try to learn from my failed interviews and decided to ask so what stood out negative or good? His first answer was “Well your school has never had much true talent come from it, and I didnt really want to risk it” “Ive toured the school on many occassions and have never seen a promising demo reel from it to be honest” /heart sank “Yes well thank you for the interview and thank you for your time” 8 Years ago and I still remember that whole “oh no wtf did I just graduate from moment” word for word That same sentiment seems to be shared by all the major game companies.

This stupid school is like the ax murderer from a psycho slasher, it just keeps coming back to kill you over and over and over.
Oh YES BUT HERE is the kicker… YOUR CREDITS ARE ALL WORTHLESS.. Wait what? Yep its a fact. The school is accreddited.. Too bad any university doesnt give a crap. Oh wait did I say university? , NOPE even COMMUNITY COLLEGES WILL NOT EVEN ACCEPT CREDITS FROM THIS SCHOOL! Not even ONE credit transfers. WOW, a 62 THOUSAND dollar piece of gold seal stamped TOILET PAPER. Want to start over in another field? Too bad, your starting from scratch. I attempted to transfer my credits at the start of both trying for UFC and then SCC (community college) neither of them would take ANY of it and ladies in both offices laughed (yes Laughed, in my face) that I was even trying to do so. “Credits from Fullsail, HA dont think so” Still remember those words like an evil echo from a super villainess. This school is a joke dont care if they have masters programs now, that school was built on the sweat and blood of a legion of graduated alumni mcdonalds workers.
I met up with a favorite instructor by chance as I was working my stupid almost minimum wage stockboy position so many years later. He had quit the school for two reasons One he got offered a higher paying job in the games industry. But TWO…. is what really stood out. He was about a day away from quitting anyway he told me he saw how they were suckering kids in with “promises of dreams but give nothing in return It doesnt work out for really any of them. Hell even for me it didnt work out.” He quit his high paying job because he himself was burned out only two years back in the industry. 83 hour work weeks and no time off will do that. And this was an industry veteran. Phew, Now I can only wish someone out there read this. But really im just a ghost and im sure Full-scam will keep suckering more dreamers into its “Real World” Wood Chucker.
