I went to AIS for 2.5 years (if you take 5 classes a qtr, you can graduate in two years, but you also will be very tired from not sleeping much). I left because at almost every turn I felt like an automaton being trained to produce. I should have expected as much from a technical school, but I was sad that all I was trained to do was make CD players and cell phones. A lot of my teachers were not at the height of their game and they were far from inspiring. I didn't complete the program because it was too expensive to feel bad about designing products. I wanted more sustainability classes (which is cutting edge) and I wanted more inspiring teachers.
