Here is the truth about student debt October 11th, 2009
And what gets me most, average median home price in Orlando FL (ha). This does help put into perspective Full Sail student debt. Private schools may not be the best decision if your worried about buying a home or having kids when your still young (late 20’s early 30’s). Hopefully cost of living (COL) will come down a bit so median income and COL even out.
School loans January 30th, 2009
Let me start off by saying I love Full Sail. The teachers are great the labs are incredible, and the campus is just badass compared to other colleges. I’m just about to graduate and I had my exit interview- which makes sure I’m all set to leave. The process wasn’t too bad. They could use better signage, I did a few circles looking for the correct door. Before I get too carried away, back to the point. The price of the school is a little high. At almost 65k when I started (70k+ now) it’s very costly. After being on the campus and seeing the equipment it’s somewhat understandable, not to mention the life time auditing. I just can’t believe I spent close to 100k in under two years time. I do value the knowledge I have gained and the skills I now possess. It’s just difficult to accept an entry level job and know that six months down the road I’ll be paying the cost of a mortgage on just my school loan. The state of the economy is in a down slope and I’m just starting to wonder if I made the best decision. I hope the next few days raise my spirits, I could really use it.
