Alex Holler As a masters student who came in from the workforce I could tell all of my professors had heaps of industry experience. This was such a healthy departure from my undergrad experience at a big state school where academics focus on themselves. Many members of staff at USV are genuinely interested in the success and understanding of their students.

Logan Shelton Cogswell is a decent school.
The school is a good 3/5 stars and thats being generous. Tuition raised every fall. It use to be ~$8450 for 15 credits and $3600 for housing, now its ~$800 / credit and $5500 for housing. Housing are nice apartments but youre better off campus. The education is good. I think the gaming program is getting more solid and building great, its known in the industry.
General Education here is a joke and honestly not worth the high price, while the engineering courses Im conflicted on.. I was teaching my data structures teacher? It was odd. But the gaming always gets some great teachers.
I cant speak for DAA, only GDD side of the school.

JC H Cogswell has definitely been a journey. Right from the first few steps into Cogswell I felt this was a good fit for the kind of experience I wanted to have in my college career. The students are welcoming and dance to their own beat. As an LGBT student, I feel this is also a safe environment. The staff is welcoming and, unlike other schools, they REMEMBER you! They check up on you and ask how your art is doing. Its a nice feeling, Cogswell is definitely a friendly community. Everyone helps each other out in someway, everyone listens to one another when a problem arises. Ive had only good experiences. The classes have helped me grow in my studies, and I definitely have retained everything Ive learned from figure drawing to Python. This is more than a school to me; it is where you can meet life-long friends, make good connections and have a second home! Cogswell is a great school and I encourage anyone to visit the campus to see if it is a right fit for them! You will not be disappointed.
