I'm not one to start something and not finish it, so I finished my "degree" with AIS. When I began the program, Multimedia and Web Design, had no director and was in transition. Halfway through my attendance they switched curriculum and name on the program so I was stuck behind in all these classes that no one else was taking in my program. I learned the very tiny surface of a ton of different media subjects and not enough to really have any talent in anything. This school is great, if you already went to a Community College somewhere else and learned everything already and want to hone your skills and waste $40 grand on it. I was forced to take BASIC COMPUTERS when I'm the person my friends all go to for computer help and to have one built from scratch! I taught the teacher throughout the class, helped her teach and aided the students who really needed the class, and then proceeded to tutor at the school in the subject! But still had to spend $1k on it. The director was rude to me and many of the classes were a complete waste of money. One of the teachers even went as far as to INSULT us by calling us all idiots on a daily basis and NO ONE did anything. When I approached the vice principal he talked to the teacher and the teacher in turn confronted our class saying he was disappointed we turned him in! He was obviously on something throughout each class being totally pompous when we didnt understand his rantings and ravings about some subject and he'd totally lose track of his progress in the demos that it was impossible to live up to his expectations. Many teachers refused to show me how to do things saying I should already know. None of the teachers have teaching degrees, they are just nobodies from the field they are teaching in hired to try to teach students this. If you want to learn something new, don't bother going here. DO NOT go here unless you want to show off your abilities to a bunch of full of themselves teachers and have $40K down the toilet. ...read more

Unless your family doesn't mind blowing $15000 a year, and you have a couple of years to spare, do not go to this school. I wish someone had given me this advice in the beginning. You do not need to go to school to become a photographer. Yo... ...read more

Most everyone we've met is very polite, friendly & helpful. The counselor we were assigned has been fantastic and the financial aid department was very knowledgeable and helped us get what we needed to put it all together. So far the teachers seem good! ...read more
