My Full Sail University ONLINE Experience!

[@csrdigitalmedia]

(Life Update After 4 Years) It amazes me how much views, likes, and comments this video keeps getting so I figured everyone deserves an update since I don't post videos as often as I hoped. Do I still recommend Full Sail after 4 years? If you can afford it, maybe. If not, no. Of course a lot can change in 4 years so I have no clue how it is today. The student debt crisis is continuing and I have not bothered to pay anything back yet since COVID. Where I am now with my life? Do I have a job??? Long story short, I was jobless for 2-3 years throughout the pandemic, nobody would hire me, even with a B.S. in Web Design and Development. I painstakingly discovered that web designers are typically contractors and not full-time employees with benefits. Now web developing is a little different as it can also relate to software engineering (this is where the money and jobs are). Unfortunately, I gave up on coding. Deep down, I wanted to learn, but I also hated it. I think Full Sail gave me a bad taste and maybe one day I will learn to code again. But, not today. Anyways, I moved to Brazil, got married to a beautiful Brazilian woman and now I have a 2 year old. Oh how life can change so unexpectedly. After years of searching for a job that would allow me to work in Brazil, In 2023, I was hired by a remote first AI company as a full-time long-term contractor. I am still working with this company and it has been an amazing blessing and I work with a lot of fun and passionate people that I can share gifs with on Slack everyday. Thank you all for watching this video and reading this comment. God bless! Put God first in your life and all things will come together eventually as long as you are patient and wait on the Lord.

Wow, that's amazing. Life really is just unexpected. I'm planning on going to full sail for animation, nervous about the tuition cost and absolutely canNOT afford it, but it feels right? Maybe it's not for everyone, my parents want me to go to ASU or FSU, tough decisions but thank you for your input on the online classes. It helps and good luck to you! God bless

I'm glad you were able to finish and now it's time to put all your hard work into use! Good luck in the future! :)

[@csrdigitalmedia]

@@belladavis2829 Thank you :) Once you graduate, don't be afraid to spend an entire month just polishing your portfolio. So far in this industry, I'm finding that employers just want people with 5+ years of industry experience with a bunch of projects to show for it. When I graduated I was not confident with my portfolio at all. It took me a couple months to make my portfolio at-least presentable. Recently, I have decided to become an entrepreneur as I believe this is the future for us new web developers because it's getting more and more competitive and companies are not willing to hire recent graduates with zero experience as of late unless it's an internship. Working a 9-5 job with 2 weeks of paid vacation is not my cup of tea. I want to be able to travel and plan my own schedules. But, that's just where I am at right now. Anyways, good luck on your future endeavors! :)

Do you know the difference between the audio production or the music production or being a recording artist? Which would be the better choice for someone who also wants to make and produce their own music?

TFUTV music production focuses on music theory and playing instrument. While audio production teaches you overall how to have a business as an independent artist, audio production degree is for recording engineering, video games and films

[@AppNasty]

Sounds like the problem was not choosing a field you already knew. If you took graphic design you would have aced it all. I am an artist. I 3d model.and sculpt. And I'm good at it. So I'll be going for 3d animation. I would LOVE to do game design but I dont know enough that I would feel comfortable. It would be hard. But taking something I'm already great at means it all will come easier. Increasing my chances of graduating but also during my time there I will be less stressed. My son uses Blender and is amazing at it as well. He also is good at making music. So if he goes either of those routes he will have a better chance to slide through it all. He codes a bit in LUA too so he may do well with code. But he mostly is aiming to do animation like me. It seems smarter to go for something that you are familiar with for sure.

[@DekuWorks]

Thank you so much. 2024 and I’m taking the web development associates degree as well!! I plan to use the degree for helping making sites and build clients. But my long term goal is to be a junior software engineer. I got into coding from my 2 best friends and mentor in the field.

Very interesting video to know better about that school. Could you tell how many students gratuated in Game Design there in 2019 or 2018, on-campus and online ? I am trying to understand why so many F.Sail alumnis are presently working in the game industry compared to others as the quality of their programs seems less good than other schools, like University of Southern California for instance or DigiPen.

[@csrdigitalmedia]

I don't remember how many students graduated in Game Design. I don't remember it being a lot. But, it had the most graduates out of all the other programs I think at Full Sail. I actually took Animation 101 at DigiPen and was friends with someone in the Game Design courses. Honestly, I did not have a great experience at DigiPen and neither did my friend. But, that was several years ago and the curriculums might be better now.

[@phlip9037]

Great video sir! Very informative. I'm interested in this school for their Sportscaster program. So I'm gathering as much information as possible. Also, you should damn sure go forward with the idea of posting videos for people that have never coded before and are interested.

I went to full sail years ago for web design and development. It was hard. No joke. This school has some good, tough curriculum. I had to retake classes as well. I had to take college mathematics 3 times before I passed. Had to drop out due to financial issues. I’m really considering going back now that I’m able to. I did enjoy the school. I did online.

[@csrdigitalmedia]

I would highly advise to look into marketing instead of web design unless you want to be a software engineer. It took me a long time to figure this out unfortunately. Knowing how the job market is today, Web Design and Development is more contract work than a career.

[@sachmo6864]

VERY LONG - BUT PLEASE READ THIS, FOLKS Hopefully I can help someone who is reading this before it is too late for them. Full Sail credits do not transfer to other universities and the degrees are often not recognized by hiring firms. National accreditation sounds better than regional accreditation (most established universities), right? It isn't. Regional accreditation ensures your credits will transfer almost anywhere (even to universities with different regional accreditation - hell, the bulk of your credits will transfer to a different country in all likelihood) - and even if you do not transfer, no employer will question whether or not your degree is legitimately a degree. This is not arbitrary - regional accreditation holds students to a higher standard, a consistent standard. With all due respect to the poster of this heart felt video, the reason some of you are surprised that a valedictorian could fail so many classes and still graduate - let alone be valedictorian - is because in a typical, regionally accredited institution, this would result in academic probation and dismissal within about 6 months (2 semesters or so). Many employers are aware of this, and no shiny piece of paper will convince them otherwise. I am from Florida, and every friend I grew up with who went to full sail (now well into their 30's) have failed to pay off the debt incurred from going there - the only one making progress had to get a separate degree from UCF (regionally accredited). That entire degree cost him less than a year at Full Sail. DON'T GET ME WRONG, one could argue that these more "standard" schools will also drain you of money by forcing you to take and re-take credits that are unnecessary for your major or that you have already shown yourself to understand. That they are just as self interested... AND YOU'RE RIGHT. That's not the issue. The issue is that those standard (often state-funded) Universities/Colleges also rely on keeping a hard earned regional accreditation, and high performing students, to even entertain the idea of having transferable credits, as well as state and federal funds. In other words, they are actively incentivized to hold you to a higher standard - and dismiss you if you don't meet it. I am currently transferring to a 4 year institution after getting straight A's for an Associates of Applied Science in Computer Programming... I owe no money to my college. Because after a while they paid me to go there with scholarships (and some external scholarships that I applied for). I am graduating this semester and have already gotten 3 job offers from large (billion dollar) firms. Of course, this too is something of a trap. These firms want to sign me to 2-3 year contracts and teach me mostly in-house software. This way, they keep me at the company without a Bachelor's Degree while telling me that I don't need one (inflating my ego while paying me less, common practice). I'm old enough now to know this from past work experience for corporations and the military. AND STILL, every job offered me MUCH more than the average salary for the Full Sail students with the degree this gentleman in the video earned (you can look these figures up yourself). These weren't interests - they were offers - and I turned them down to continue studying. But why is that? Well, despite only having an Associate Degree - there were no real do overs and no second chances (not necessarily a good thing, but its reality). I had to deliver working programs with documentation on time and take in-person or proctored exams administered by PhDs and Masters with 20+ years experience - who sat with me in actual classrooms and offices to walk me through a concept. Had I failed to deliver, I would have been dismissed, and no amount of money would have changed that. I was just honest about what i was good at, accepted what I wasn't good at, and worked my ass off at a regionally accredited institution. And the firms that offered me jobs know this. They are aware that my GPA and scholarships weren't "try and pay until you get it right", and that I will be 2-3 times more expensive once I get my Bachelor degree. Again, this is because said degrees are from/for a regionally accredited institution and are recognized everywhere. I am not trying to be rude. I just don't want to see more people live in crushing debt for the remainder of their lives when there is an objectively cheaper, more comprehensive, and widely accepted alternative. You'll have to deal with endless bureaucracy, admit your shortcomings - it won't be glamorous - but you will likely have manageable debt and a worthwhile degree at a regionally accredited community college or typical state school. Please, swallow any pride you may have, and be honest with yourselves.

[@csrdigitalmedia]

I agree and I would also tell people that college these days is not worth being in debt for the rest of our lives. The truth is I have had about a dozen interviews and the majority of them could care less if I had a degree or not. They just want people who already have years of experience and work to show in their portfolio to prove it. This is from the standpoint of someone applying for a job relating to web design, web development, graphic design, UI/UX design, and Software engineering.

[@aydanjones2219]

Would u recommend ucf

[@sachmo6864]

@@aydanjones2219 I recommend you ask this to a third-party academic advisor (works independently from any University system), who can get to know you in person, for anything this specific to your situation. I can (responsibly) only broadly recommend a regionally accredited College/University you can afford without careening head first into serious debt, since I don't know your situation in it's entirety. Anything more would assume too much about you. A school counselor for example (if you are still in HS, and this is available to you), can assess your future career's average income, loan/scholarship availability, and your potential return on investment, to weigh what is best suited for you. If you don't, then look up what the career you want makes on average to see if loan repayment would be manageable, if LOW INTEREST federal loans are available to you based on your grades/situation (private loans should be used sparingly - or avoided entirely - since they are often higher interest, less regulated, and therefore more difficult to pay off), AND THEN ask YOURSELF if a particular College/University is worth it. Honestly, if living in a dorm and studying full time yields better grades (it isn't distracting) then you may want to go to a four year University all the way through - BUT, if you are fine living off campus in cheap accommodations, then a two year college before transfer (check credit transferability) would yield the same result for less (again, should have the same regional accreditation as UCF or other prominent schools). Nationally accredited for-profit schools cost more, and give you less to show for it than state-funded regionally accredited schools - again look up the graduation rates, job acquisition rates, and average debt for these schools, and it will become obvious that you should avoid them. Hope this helps.

Do you have any idea how the Computer Science program is? Or the Mobile Development program? Have you had any issues with employers not recognizing your degree?

[@csrdigitalmedia]

Great question! I'm assuming the Computer Science program focuses on more C#, C++, and OOP languages. While I still learned about C# and OOP, we really focused more on JavaScript because it is more geared towards Web Development instead of software. The Mobile Development is very very very similar to Web Development program. I honestly don't think they are much different besides the fact that you learn Java in Mobile Development. It is all the same courses but more focused on designing for mobile. My degree has attracted employers, but I have come to find out that they would rather see your experience and portfolio more than your degree. Don't get me wrong. The degree helps me out a lot to be ahead of the pool of people.

Honestly the WDD and App Development are basically the same. I believe the only difference is how much more time you spend on specific coding languages that relate to apps or websites. For example I was in WDD, but I made an app for my capstone project using React Native. Someone in App Development may have created a more professional app than mine. But, they may not know how to create a website as professional looking as my website. So honestly I would just suggest web development unless you are seriously considering making apps for a living (apps are a lot harder to make than websites)

So is that a yes then?

[@mariasmith6210]

How much did you pay in total for bachelors degree ?

[@AxelFoley-sb5re]

You should come to Cleveland,OH you’ll find a job in a snap of a finger with that degree!

[@benjiii579]

why cleveland specifically?

[@AverageYoutuber6615]

@@benjiii579probably because Cleveland has so many Tech Startups so its easier to get a job which makes sense I’ve heard from friends of mine who been to Cleveland they are From Ohio just not from Cleveland that it’s nothing but Rich Snobs living there who could care less About the Poor.

[@AverageYoutuber6615]

⁠@@benjiii579probably because in Cleveland that’s where all the Tech Startups Are so it’s easier To find a Job I Had Friends who lived In OHIO Not In Cleveland specifically and I asked them how Cleveland Was they Said Cleveland Was just A bunch Of Rich SNOBS Taking Advantage Of The Poor.

I had 0 experience in piano and expected me to learn from scratch in a month O.o people spend years of their life figuring out not only how to play, but to get their fingers to flow along the keys or get comfortable pressing multiple keys at once. I got the boot for having to retake the class. That and a class where we take music and program it into a game but that 1 was easier since it was pretty much done step by step.

[@drizzypuffs523]

Thanks bro!

[@coryjeffreys5146]

Oh, by the way, I always wanted to know what was all involved in making apps for your phone so maybe you can make an app.

[@woodsman9427]

there are a few videos on youtube that actually go step by step on how to make a app on a phone

[@Dirtyboxcarkids]

As far as online goes are you able to take breaks?

[@AverageYoutuber6615]

Yeah, you get breaks like holidays off things like that it’s pretty much the Same for Campus and online Students.

[@PaperStreetInk]

What languages did they teach you?

[@csrdigitalmedia]

HTML, CSS/SASS, JavaScript, jQuery, C#, PHP, and a tiny bit of Python. They will also teach you server-side. So NodeJS, MySQL, MongoDB. They literally teach you just about everything. They just do it very very quickly, so don't be shocked when you only got a week to figure out one language.

Yea baby C# is for 👑. Do the C# and become a full stack master like me

I was thinking of going to Full Sail. I'm retired and like to learn but after watching this, I don't want it to kill me! lol

[@AverageYoutuber6615]

Yeah, computer Science or any tech Related degree you will Feel the Burnout 💀 that’s what they don’t tell you. They paint such a great picture about tech and make it look great but deep down it’s not Really all of that.

[@hardcorecoast5144]

payments each work

[@paulpizzo2013]

Be careful of this "retaking" courses stuff. I went to college a long time ago, and you either flunk a course or pass. And then maybe you'd rethink your major. It sounds fishy, especially if you have to pay again for taking them.

[@csrdigitalmedia]

It's true. Colleges can be greedy just like any other business. Students should be careful if they notice a pattern in failing courses. Because it's true that for some of my re-takes, I did have to pay for. But, I was issued a survey for a chance for them to waive my fees and they did after I expressed my concerns. Therefore, I believe Full Sail is trust worthy.

[@paulpizzo2013]

@@csrdigitalmedia Perhaps. But some of the things I hear student videos saying sound programmed -- a lot of 'you-get-out-what-you-put-in' and today's biggest cliché, 'passion'. That has a whiff of anticipating failure. Plus, these kids give off vibes like they think they will be doing show business videos or just hired to showcase their creativity. That doesn't seem to be a realistic picture of what to expect of the the jobs out there

[@CLChesny]

I am considering applying for Full Sail as a Music Production major. I already have a bachelors but I can’t even use it right now. You said that videos online and can teach the same as the school minus the equipment. I am 45yrs old, work full time and have 6 kids. In your opinion do you think I would even be able to make enough time for the program?

[@csrdigitalmedia]

@@CLChesny Depends how young those 6 kids you have are haha Honestly, it just depends. My brother majored in Music production and he said it was super easy, but he was single guy at the time and was in his own right a musical genius. So I would say your question is hard to answer since I myself did not do the music production program.
