Nicholas Dames To begin, I must express my strong disapproval of Full Sail University and strongly advise against enrolling in any of its programs. The transferability of credits has been a significant concern for me, as I have encountered difficulties in obtaining transferable credits from Full Sail University to my local universities. Furthermore, the online learning experience was unsatisfactory, and the program I chose lacked an in-class component. Additionally, relocating from Ohio to Orlando was an impractical option.
During an interview conducted after my graduation, I was informed that the classes I had taken were introductory classes and not substantive courses and should not be relied upon for meaningful learning. This revelation was particularly disheartening, as I had invested significant time and effort in these courses.
I encountered numerous instances where professors failed to provide adequate explanations, resulting in frustration and wasted time. One professor even violated their own code and was unable to rectify it, despite promising me a high grade.
Furthermore, I repeated the same class multiple times, seeking assistance each time. However, I was consistently met with dismissal and a lack of empathy from the instructors. They seemed to view my repeated failures as a personal issue rather than a systemic problem.
It is important to note that I am not alone in my experiences. Several other students have dropped out of the program, and I believe that the program’s requirements are overly burdensome. While this is merely my personal opinion, it is worth considering.
Consequently, I am now burdened with $45,000 in debt and possess an associate’s degree that holds no practical value. Therefore, I strongly recommend that individuals considering pursuing higher education at Full Sail University explore alternative options, such as local colleges or institutions that align better with their academic goals. Full Sail University, in my opinion, does not meet the criteria for a reputable educational institution.

Hernandez Oriana (Oreo) This university has shattered both mine and my moms heart to pieces.
It may look beautiful from both its exterior and the interior and be conveniently located near downtown Orlando, but do not let that fool you.
And you know what? Im done.
Frankly, I am tired of being treated the way I was treated here.
What these guys are doing is genuinely super messed up, by charging students hundreds upon hundreds of dollars for each class they failed and holding them up to an unreasonably high standard, despite them only being BEGINNERS in their respective programs.
By that, they are putting a lot of students in debt, including myself.
It also doesnt help that there arent many accommodations for those on learning disablity and struggling with mental health problems that help them succeed in their classes, especially with how fast the classes come and go, and ultimately leading them to feel burnt out.
When I was placed on academic probation due to me not being able to keep up with the pace of the accelerated program any longer, I was able to have it appealed for eight months, but the student advocacy person decided to cut it in half and withdraw me from the university itself, which felt like the people there didnt want me attending anymore.
Is this actually a legitimate university that others want to study at? Or is it just one giant ponzi scheme preying on vulnerable people who actually want to learn more about doing what they love?
No wonder this university has such a low graduation rate!

Johnny Hopkins I was actually curious about learning more about the school so I went ahead and sent a message through their sites information request portal.
I received a call and at first, all the people who were in contact seemed friendly. I didnt feel very good and let them know. I am also a third shifter and wasnt fully awake. I let them know it wasnt the best time, but had a few moments.
It was worse than a used car dealership or a cell phone kiosk that wastes your time if you are unfortunate enough to listen to their pitch until they try to do a hard sell AT THAT TIME without you being able to look at any fine print.
I had to tell them multiple times I didnt feel good and was getting annoyed. Theyre lucky I didnt just hang up on them. After looking at these reviews, its no loss. If I want to get heckled, Ill just drop into a place where I know there will be HIGH pressure SALES.
A legitimate university will NEVER do something like this. Never once did they mention what type of "university" they are. They told a joke and I didnt laugh. Try someone else.
