Ask a current Full Sail University student anything!

Hendrix · 04-01-2011, 07:53 AM

Good morning everyone,
It's early and I'm sitting here waiting for lecture to start so, to help keep me from going insane from how boring this particular class is....Ask me anything! Myths, misconceptions, whatever you have heard about this place (and if you've looked at schools for audio I know you have at least looked at Full Sail.) so if there's anything you've wanted to know ask away!

Do all of the chick have extraneous piercings and dyed black hair?

Hendrix · 04-01-2011, 08:21 AM

No actually not all of them do, now that I think about it only a handful do. Although, More females have been enrolling here over the course of the year. The school is definitely growing and it is becoming a whole lot less of a sausagefest. Both of which are a win

I've heard people say that a game design degree is a useful as a communications degree. Is that true?

Nope... I knew a girl that went there... She wasn't very good at music when she was done either, though so she debunked that myth too...

My friends with communications degrees have actually been more successful than a lot of my friends with "more meaningful" degrees. The degree is only as useful as the degree holder.

PyramidSmasher · 04-01-2011, 01:03 PM

Have you ever had an encounter with an old person that just made you feel really good?

highlordmugfug · 04-01-2011, 01:04 PM

Anything?

How the .... you afford dat shit?

Konfyouzd · 04-01-2011, 01:07 PM

If a guitar pick falls from the heavens and lands on a random guitar string strewn across two twigs in such a way that is is pulled taut w/o snapping said string but there is no one around to witness this act of the Metal Gods, does it still rock???

Now I know, I guess.

Do you know anything about the Game Design program? I'm going to guess your in the Recording Arts college, but do you know anything?

Chickenhawk · 04-01-2011, 03:24 PM

It is really as big of a shit hole as everybody has told me? Does the school run 24 hours? (assuming you're on campus, and not distance learning.)

I've heard a LOT of bad things about Full Sail being a McCollege.

Holy shit, sorry guys I was busy today (guitar trade and a cookout with friends). I will answer everyone's questions in the morning and any others that may be asked before then!

Hendrix · 04-02-2011, 12:12 PM

Ok, now I have some time to answer these questions.

dragonblades,
I have not heard whether the game design degree is useful as a comm. degree. I'd have to ask a game design student. I did take the recording arts degree, that's only because I wanted experience on some high end equipment and to get some experience mastering, since my main goal is to become a mastering engineer.

pyramidsmasher,
Yes on a few occasions but only once since I moved to Orlando.

highlordmugfug,
I honestly don't know how I've affored going to school here. My parents put money away before I was born to help fund college, and as far as I know that's payed for everything so far. I might have to take a loan out for the last eight months, but I'd rather be $20K in debt than $120K.

Konfyouzd,
Of course it is heard, it's an act from the metal gods so it will be heard in the hearts of the faithful.

Explorer,
Yes, all the time.

chickenhawk,
No, this place is not a shithole at all. All of the facilities here are nice from the studios, to the soundstages, to the live venues it's all very nice and they have A LOT of high end gear. And yes it does run 24/7 but we get breaks throughout the year. (I had lab 1-5 A.M. when I was in the Recording Consoles class) It's not a McCollege, it's a lot of information thrown at you in 2 years (but that's the point of a bachelor's in 2 years). Every instructor I've had has been knowledgeable of their subject and more importantly has had industry experience.

Meatbucket,
Squeeze it, which in retrospect is inefficient but old habits die hard.

Konfyouzd · 04-02-2011, 12:19 PM

Damn that answer was awesome... You are deemed true on this day.

Hendrix · 04-02-2011, 01:31 PM

Thank you my brother, but I only speak the truth, my answer harkens back to my belief in the Laws of True Metal

If there's anything else anybody wants to know about Full Sail, or anything else ask away and I will answer to the best of my ability!
