The school worth it?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm interested in applying for Full Sail in about 1 year (going to work that 1 year to save up money), and I just wanted to know that is it wise for me to get about 37,000 dollar loan for it? I just want to know from experience that is getting a loan for such school and program (Computer Animation) worth it? I know that Animation is what I want to do in my life, so the program choice for me is right, but I'm still a bit worried about the loan... Also, I'm an international student so my only option (most probably) would be International</a> Student Loan Center: Student Loans for College Students. Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>//EDIT: Sorry if the thread is in wrong category.</p>

<p>I have no clue what you're talking about. What is Full Sail? What school are you talking about?</p>

<p>Full sail is an online school for arts. I think they include a computer in that price also. I think they are wayyy overcharging for their program IMO.</p>

<p>Full</a> Sail University: Film, Art, Design, Music & Media Production</p>

<p>The university that offers one of the top five game-degrees in the world?</p>

<p>Why do you think they're overcharging? I mean... It's a Bachelor's degree after all, just 4 years squeezed into 2 :) Many universities cost 15-20,000 a year. So a 4 year Bachelor's degree would be 60-80,000 dollars.</p>

<p>//EDIT: Oh and it's not an online school. They only offer few programs online.</p>

<p>A $37,000 loan is a very high amount of debt, so I don't think it's worth it to go to a college to learn how to do animation.</p>

<p>Now, if you were taking the debt to cover a professional school in a field like medicine in which you were virtually guaranteed a high salary, I'd think the debt were worth it.</p>

<p>You're probably right, but then again, animation is the one and only job I'd see myself in... So have to see. Thanks for the response :)</p>
