>ITT your experience so far

Freshman here, I found this board a bit before first semester started and the hate towards BAGD convinced me to switch (initially to BSCSGD now just BSCS). My dormies are badgers and god damn everything I hear about GAT classes sounds awful and the majority of badgers I meet are useless narcissistic "idea guys" with absolutely no skill or hope for the future. If every single one dropped out I would only feel happy for their sake. Apparently even Portnow told them that their life as a "game designer" will probably be shit when he came to speak. Also really liking the CS teachers, I can't imagine only learning scripting languages and having almost no actual knowledge of computers or art. And holy shit hearing other students talk about memes is unbearable (how has this John Cena shit not gotten old yet?)

Anyways the sound design program actually looks pretty good too, taking an intro to sound class and I like it a lot.

I'd say the biggest problems with this school are definitely the BAGD program, lack of business major/minor, and reddit autists it attracts.

Who says 8chan hasn't made positive impacts on people's lives.

I do pity the badgers though, they're sinking all this money into this school and they really don't have much of a future.

The job placement rate for those who graduate is 50%. Assuming one does graduate, it's almost like flipping a coin.

It's up to them to determine which side they land on. Thankfully, those who don't work with the other degree programs and only stick to their BAGD cliques likely won't be getting very far.

DigiPen lies about cutting out the GenEds. They need you to take English for accreditation purposes. Hush and eat your broccoli.

You really think you were going to get a Bachelors without a few English credits in some form?

Also, how could DigiPen lie about cutting General Education classes? Do people really not look at the course schedule at all?

Judging from some of the absolute shit writing I saw when I took that class, you would be surprised how many people /really/ need it.

Yeah, the sound designers and their program are usually pretty cool (though a lot of people have trouble understanding the material ~ hence why there aren't more sound designers). Since you're RTIS you'd do well to get to know them. They end up learning a lot of technical things regarding sound as well, and having an understanding of it (even second-hand) will give you knowledge a fair amount of non-sound designers don't have.
