Re: I'm dropping out of Full Sail to go to a real College

I'm going to be switching to UCF (University of Central Florida) to study Computer Hardware Engineering (advanced track) and Information Technology (advanced track).

tl;dr, scam don't go. Go to a real college. Read on for more information.

--

Listen, 1. I Didn't pay anything, this is only my first month at FSU (I'm dropping out this week) and I had a lot of scholarship money and 2. Was pulled in by their advertising and promises given by admissions.

I have a huge suggestion to ANYBODY wanting to go to a for-profit college: do your research. Like seriously, go to a State College/Community College if you can first. It's the same education but cheaper. Not all for-profits are bad, but just be careful.

The thing about Full Sail is that it's not only a for-profit college, but it's a shady for-profit school. They operate their school 100% as a business (unlike other schools that focus on business and education), plus the fact that they spend almost 1 billion dollars a year on advertising ALONE.

I didn't get a guidance counselor when I started my classes, they direct you to the BUSINESS OFFICE to get help. Compound onto that, that each class is ONE MONTH in length and most don't require any kind of testing afterwards.

Full Sail is /NOT/ regionally accredited, no matter what they throw at you. The ACCSC (Federal Organization in charge of accrediting colleges) shows that NO schools in the southeast united states and some other across the country will not accept any credits from Full Sail. They're technically, "Nationally Accredited", but the last full accreditation check was done in 1989.

Add onto the fact that their degree program for a B.S. (usually a 4 year program) is 20 months (Yes, not even 2 years in length) and only has 1 basic english class and 1 basic math class, and no other core classes other than an integrated science class.

Please, please do more research and don't make the same mistake I did. I don't have to pay anything, but I wasted my time and honestly I wish I could go back and just go to UCF instead.

Thanks.

Don't be taken in by their Behind the Scenes tour, or any of their flashy buzzwords or images.

A degree there costs 100k or more for A YEAR AND A HALF, and has increased interest on the loans.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND for A YEAR AND A HALF

I know a kid whose grandmother basically mortgaged a bunch of her condos to pay for his education at this fraudulent institution.

It's sickening, honestly.

A lot of college students switch majors, so just go where you feel the passion is (kinda cliche, but meh).

@steel

I'm not even surprised that it's for-profit, I just didn't know A. How bad for-profit schools usually are, and B. How bad specifically this for-profit school actually is

but yeah, i should've known better. But hey, I learned without it really costing me almost anything.

It's sad because that's the way many good deals turn into frauds.

I'm surprised no major news outlet is doing research into this. :/
