Absolutely the worst! Chef William bill favorites young male students over anyone else. You will not be respected or taken seriously. These credits are an absolute waste of money and time. You will spend hours copying recipes onto note cards and doing dishes. Students are treated like slaves.
So far in the past 3 days they have called me nearly 15 times almost every hour. I had to auto-block their calls and they're still calling me. After the first phone call that I ended YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD GET THE HINT
I went to AI for two years. I majored in interior design and had a 3.8 gpa.DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. This school does not push it's students to succeed. They do not care about your success, only your money. Their resources are falling apart. If you do some digging you will discover that they have a 0% placement rate after graduation, that means NONE of their students get a job in their field. AI is great at selling itself, they'll tell you they're art focused and want to help you achieve your dreams. All they care about is your money. They are not a school they are a company, who takes advantage of creative peoples' dreams to suck them dry. DO NOT GO HERE!!!
Such a ripoff. The only thing that would've made it worth it were the few good teachers but they left soon after I first started and were replaced by people that had no clue what they were doing and what they were teaching. Most of the stuff I learned was all self taught using the programs they provided (when I was actually able to use the computers that had the programs I needed.)
If you want to get your degree in Media Arts and Animation I suggest IUPUI. That's where all the good teachers from Ai Indy went.
They truly defraud the students of the school!
One student in particular (no name will be mentioned) was supposed to graduate at the end of one quarter. They told this student outright that this would be the final quarter of classes, that these were the last ones needed to finish the program. A couple weeks before GRADUATION, they came back and said that this student somehow needed an additional class to complete the degree; mind you, again, that this was AFTER they had already said outright the student would not need any more classes past this quarter; they also added that this was found out by a THIRD PARTY reviewing degree requirements they did not even check it themselves! So, this student had to stay an entire quarter after the student was supposed to GRADUATE. To add insult to injury, financial aid would not cover the additional course so the student had to pay out of pocket for it. Great way to extort money from students.
I would highly NOT RECOMMEND any student to study here.
Excellent learning environment and technology for the students. Focus is on both Art and the practical tasks for the workplace. Not just theory but career minded education so the graduate is not left with zero knowledge and alot of conceptual ideas a great combination for the aspiring career artist.
