Need INDEFINITE opinions about Full Sail University?

I was thinking about applying to Full Sail University once I get my GED. But I arrive here on Yahoo Answers in the middle of my research and find out that people are calling it a joke (apparently even there own staff)



To be perfectly honest. There web site and there videos I found on you-tube are what’s gotten me hooked in the idea of applying there. But I don’t want to be suckered in to falling for media BS and end up looking stupid.



Plus the place is in Florida and I'm all the way out in Washington State. I know they offer online degrees but right now I’m being offered a scholarship to pay for the school of my choice. If I'm going to spend it and uproot my entire life to attend the (would be) school of my dreams I'd like it to be worth while



I want to major in creative writing and scripts for film and video games. I have a dream of toping Twilight and Harry Potter. So I'm looking for INDEFINITE and WELL THOUGHT OUT opinions about this school. If the answer is “no way” suggestions for a good schools that offer the same kinds of courses are appreciated.Need INDEFINITE opinions about Full Sail University?
I've heard negative things about Full Sail too-- mostly that it's a cash cow. I would recommend making a campus visit and talking with instructors, staff, and even students. Yes, it's going to cost you a lot of money to make this visit, but it might be worth it if you find out it's not the right place for you. AND more importantly the visit will help you find out if going there will help you realize your goals.



Also, keep in mind that you don't need to attend university to become a script writer but you do need connections and talent.Need INDEFINITE opinions about Full Sail University?
You should also check out video symphony - they're cheaper than full sail and in a much better location for finding jobs.

Since the only creative writing program that FS offers is a Master's program, I wonder what you want your Bachelor's to be in. I would not recommend taking a two year program, like film, just to take it's (at most) two-month long creative writing class.



If you want to be a writer, then, well, write. If you want to understand the mechanics behind what makes a great story, then find a school that offers creative writing as a major. Which, I am pretty sure means, finding a real (non-technical) school.
