Look at the post from the town meeting if you're curious.

Don't tell incomings to quit right off the bat, just educate them on what they are getting themselves into and let them decide

More "hurrdurr don't make me feel bad about my money and time and effort invested in the school, it's not so bad" bullshit. Keep it coming. Keep defending your shitpile of a school. Keep deluding yourself into thinking you're happy. I'll be over here on the other side of dropping the fuck out and I'll be actually happy.

Alright. Here's my ignorant view of the BFA program as a RTIS

>I'm too stressed out
>I have to spend all my free time to catch up
>I can't get a job
>Boxes, boxes, and boxes
>Work on game projects and get no credit

In reality the only thing that matters when you graduate is that last part assuming you wanna work for video games. Which is pretty sad, but that's what people want to see when they hire. They want to see your work and Digipen doesn't do a good enough job for BFAs to support that if they're going for a job in the video game industry. Why spend $13600/semester that increases $200-600 a year for this?

Okay, incoming legit realtalk. No fucking jokes.

This school will, with about 90% certainty, make you very unhappy for 4+ years (or until you dropout). You will be very stressed out, you might contemplate suicide once or more times, and depending on how you handle stress you'll probably cry or punch a wall or just start drinking.

That being said, you might end up with a degree and maybe some average art skills that can possibly get you a job within a few months after graduating if you're lucky and VERY hard working. You won't get a job right away unless you're lucky, have connections, and work your ass off.

Also if you need loans to pay for more than half of your tuition, this was a bad idea.

Good luck.
