Rating 4 out of 5

Honestly the majors offered here are fun. However, you should be going to college for getting a good job. You will get a god job going here if you are in the top 3 of your major. Most of my friends are still unemployed or working in an undesired field. As in not their major and not a job that required college. This college is very expensive. Supplies cost money. If you are uber talented, it might be worth it. If you do furry art, it's not worth it. remember AI is a thing now. This college is a lot of work. If you don't spend your time perfecting your craft and spend it at the very fun bars nearby you might not be as successful as your peers working late.

Learn how to manage your time and be prepared for a lot of work. If you don't have a good work ethic you better get one fast.
