Full Sail University Top Questions

Stop acting like an idoit! Stay away from certain people. Get my head into the books, study hard and do something with your life; don't wait 6 years to start thinking for what you want out of life. High school is easy comapired to adult life and If you mess around and don't take it seriously you will have a really hard time getting into college. You only have one chance to make your high school transcripts and you're making a mess of things. Start now, start planning your future today.

At Full Sail, I have learned to be a leader and to build leadership teams though not only managing people but building relationships with them. I have also learned to build a business through business law and ethics and have learned about the economics of the world in which my business runs through micro and macroeconomics as well as international studies. I have been encouraged to accept and embrace diversity and to empower others to succeed. Their four year bachelor's of science program is at an intense rate and is actually completed in 2 years and 8 months which builds work ethic and professional accountability. Last but not least, the computer technology and software programs such as Garageband, iMovie and iWeb or building podcasts and knowledge of Quickbooks has really prepared me further for the future. I also feel that my attending college has had a profound effect on my two sons who I have homeschooled through highschool. My oldest son graduated at sixteen and is now in college at Full Sail as well.

Out of my college experience, I have gain the ability to further understand the areas that interest me and what it takes to succeed in the future. It has taken me a while to find what I wanted to do in life and I am happy that I found a place that was able to offer me an education in what I felt was best for me to study. Although difficult, I am determined to finish and I hope to absorb all that I gain regardless of any failures I meet. I like learning and I wish that money was not a factor as I am not as well off as others. With that said I still wish to do the best I can and contribute to the field that I love. I am the kind of person that would like to teach myself what interests me but there are some things that going to school can provide better for you such as resources and goals to focus on. Further more college provides you with different perspectives that can help you understand things you never knew. So I would say in many cases, college is invaluable.

I wanted to attend a school that not only threw me into my work, but also teached me the fundamentals of filmming - the technical side not the theory of it. So Full Sail was the school for me. I learned so much about lighting for film and digital (which is my profession - lighting). Being a part of lighting has made me want to further my career to an electrician's degree so I can work with lights and cable while knowing what I am doing with the electricity. The people there were great, granted some teachers were there only for a pay check. But, the ones I interacted with really loved working with the students. I was part of a club that furthered our education and had us producing our own films outside fo class so we could build our resume. Everything on campus was great to the guest speakers to the extra work to be done on campus.

Most colleges in my country of Puerto Rico don't offer the student a true college experience. Being that they're about to loose accreditation due to bad management, or simply not having the resourses to keep certain degrees up to date. After spending 3 years at some college in Puerto Rico, I transfered to Full Sail University and it was a whole new world for me. What I noticed was that everyone there wanted to become a something, not just for the fun of going there. Suddenly I felt like I was in the right place, no more slacking, no more students uninterested in class making it imposible to pay attention. I think for me it has been very valuable to attend this college because I know and feel it will give me the knowledge nesessary to be successfull in the real word. With their knowledge and my pasion I know I'll make it far.

I would not trade my decision to attend Full Sail for anything in the world. I am challenged to better myself on a daily basis. When a student can actually see the progress day in and day out, its a motivational tool that perpetuates you through to graduation. Again, the Global Professional Standard has trained me to be aware that I am representing myself , Full Sail and my actions should always reflect as such. Lastly, I am a Show Froduction Major pursuing a BS degree. When it is all said and done, I will be versed in recording arts as well as Show production.

What I have gotten out of my college experience thus far is the understanding of the basic job of a Paralegal. I have always been interested in learning about the legal process and helping others understand their rights. The first time I attended college almost thirty years ago I was encouraged by a parnt to go into a field that I was not really interested in therefore I did not think to apply myself to my studies. Now I am older and more settled in what I want to do with the rest of my life and it is the legal field. If chosen I will continue to apply myself to the best of my ability to continue to maintain as close to a 4.0 average as humanly possible.

I have broadened my horizons so much since attending Full Sail University. Full Sail encouranges students to think out of the box and be as creative as you want. I have learned how to handle myself in real world situations in the entertainment industry. The school has opened my eyes to many different areas of entertainment and has motivated me to stay focused. My business skills are improving everyday by learning marketing, finance and management techniques. My experience at Full Sail University has been valuable itself. I have made so many ever-lasting friendships and connections here and would't take it back for a second. My knowledge of the entertainment industry is remarkable and continue educating myself daily. The experience you obtain from Full Sail alone is amazing and if I could I would do it over again.

What I have taken from school, is certainty of a future and a overall new experiences, in part, molding a new me. A new road of experiences that no doubt will change me, new friends thats on the same path, making my plans concrete and possible.

Self reliance and responsibility has definitely developed from my experiences in college. As a student you are expected to do your work and study for tests on your own time and effort without constant encouragement from the teacher like you receive in high school. You also learn the valuable life skill of timeliness, especially since some professors will actually lock the door or mark you down if you are not on time. With this skill you learn how to be on time, which sets you up for success at future jobs.
