They deleted all of my accounts and refused to speak to me on why I had been dismissed.
The teachers tell your business to other students and faculty without your permission. I missed a week of school once to go out of town for my uncle's funeral and one of my teachers told me that I shouldn't have gone to his funeral because his class was way more important. He also told me and countless other students that we should stop hanging out with certain people because he simply did not like the student.
One of the faculty members was referred to one of my classmates as "the little Mexican boy who sits in the corner. She's the one who emailed me saying I had been dismissed in a very vague email that had 3 sentences.
She sent this email 2 hours before I was supposed to returning for my 2nd year. The list goes on honestly.
I know this review is trash with writing, but I think it gets the point across for the most part. The school sucks. It's shady, for profit, the faculty is rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional When I contacted them after graduation they stated that current students have first rights. Money was pretty well wasted and their loans where not interest tax deductable. Maybe lisa madigan should look into this private school also.
Ryan Overby. Basically the school pushes out the weak and takes their money, while the rest who do make it to the end of the program may or may not get what they are looking for. In the end the school is very expense for the value of education.
I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. We all know you get what you put in however, at college your suppose to have a supports system and that just isn't the case here.
I wish i could say better things about it but i can't. There are good people running at the school, the school itself isn't what it appears to be. Previous Student.
It's absolutely ridiculous, heed my words, do not attend here, you will only leave with a lifetimes worth of extreme anxiety and stress that eventually may lead to you needing medication to combat the overwhelming stress of struggling to pay back the school, I know SEVERAL of my classmates who need medication because of the stress they now have. Save yourself the life of trouble, it's not worth it. My main complaint about this school is that the administration failed to inform the class of that the focus studies that we had been told we would be engaged in for the second year had been dropped and the program was completely changed.
Had I known that, I never would have chosen this school. I specifically talked to the admissions dept. Sure, there were a couple of classes where group projects occurred and I was able to experience the producer role, but with no guidance whatsoever.
Everything I learn, I taught myself. As far as the quality of the faculty, the best teachers I had were adjuncts and they are treated like crap by the administration. The full time staff in the film department is spotty. Often times emails with important questions go unanswered. I am an older student who has spent my life in the working world and I truly expected a higher degree of professionalism.
Not to mention that I was paying cash for this experience and I expect a certain amount of accountability from the school that I was paying. For the most part, the administration mostly the woman who is the film department chair treats students with little regard.
She has a huge ego which her resume does not really support and treats students as if they are an inconvenience to her life. The entire program is in complete disarray that is obvious from the way schedules are changed at the last minute and teachers are not really informed of the changes in their syllabus in time to prepare for the first day of class. Fortunately, there are a few people in the faculty that are truly interested in teaching skills to the students.
I learned much from them. I loved working with most of my classmates. But in the end, they simply can't teach me what they promised to teach me and I found I can better learn it on my own using the contacts I developed in my first year.
It's a shame that the administration does not pay any attention to the complaints of the students. Actually the main shareholder is a private equity firm. That should tell you a lot. I would never send my child to a school run by a private equity firm.
All they care about is turning a profit. Which, if they don't get a handle on the experience they are giving the students, is going to get more and more difficult for them. Make no mistake, you are not getting a job with anyone worth working for after you graduate here unless you already have previous industry experience or a wide network in which to get a foot in with.
You will waste shit tons of money on a degree that does not transfer ANYWHERE, and you will learn skills that you can learn elsewhere for much less coin.
Yes the campus and marketing strategy is flashy and is designed to keep you energized and keep you feeling like the 1st place trophy winner your parents tell you you are, but you suck, this school sucks, and you should just go to Columbia, a school that actually gives you a worthy degree and allows you to learn important social skills and other liberal art skills i. Please do not make the same mistake I have, my friends have, and hundreds of starey eyed high-school graduates keep making, and that is making those fucking investors RICH.
That is the way this place was built, and that's the way it is ran. That alone should tell you how shaky things are. It's all about making the shareholders happy. And that involves taking a lot of your money.
Stop making share holders happy. I'll start with the Good. If you know absolutely nothing about filmmaking, are fresh out of highschool, have an expendable income, and all the time in the world this is a good place to start. Career Services is getting better and their staff puts the work hours in and are often more responsive to emails than faculty.
I will be getting a job in the industry, however not because of a direct relationship with my degree prior education and experience. The Curriculum is a joke. The curriculum is designed to create insanely unnecessary stressful situations early on to disenfranchise students to quit, so the school can keep their money. The Production Module class where students take on different roles creating each others 3min short films is absolute chaos with little to no guidance.
Production in Action is the only time when you will be working with all the programs. The "Collaboration" that is advertised is all on the individual student and in this incredibly rushed unorganized curriculum collab opportunities and extra curricular collaborations are not on one's priority list.
Teachers are often unprepared for their classes and the ones that do know what they are doing are being stretched thin. The Adjuncts and part time instructors that do a better job are just because they are separated from all the nonsense taking place in the administration. A student has little to no choice in the classes they take, or when to take them especially with the curriculum constantly changing. Making it difficult for anyone who has any outside of school responsibilities. With this locked in curriculum one would think the classes would work well together; they do not.
This creates a situation where poor performing students are able to skate by, and focus on their individual studies. While those students taking time to motivate and get the groups to function properly end up wasting all of their time and falling behind in their core work.
Something Non-traditional students often do not have access to. The Faculty and Administration Is in absolute disarray. Besides the fact that the programs across the board have been constantly changing and fluctuating due to the constant turnover of staff and teachers.
