Review content:
I am going to start off by saying I am currently enrolled at NEiA for the bachelors of photography program. I am strongly considering changing to an associates degree so I can get as far away from that place as possible without it being a total waste. First off, this place is REALLY expensive, which I could come to terms with if I felt like I was getting what I was paying for. The first two or three semesters I did learn a lot, but only because I barely new anything on the subject, but after that the classes basically become 'sit down and talk about random crap time' vs actually learning how to use equipment, programs/software and hands on experience. On that note, when there is 'hands on learning' or class 'demonstrations' they are very VERY brief. For the most part class time is not utilized well and very few topics are gone over throughout the semester. Don't let the 'more advanced' class descriptions fool you, it is still basic information that could easily (and should be) covered in one single class instead of splitting it up. Also, there are NO options as to what direction you want to take. The school is very small and offers only basic classes. If you want to learn more about a specific avenue in the field you are sh*t out of luck. Pretty much everything I have learned so far I could have learned from the internet, for free. Online photoshop tutorials do a much better job at teaching than this school does.
Secondly, recent developments on the administrative end has put into affect a new head of the school who is completely ignorant of the fact that this is supposed to be an art school. Murals painted on the walls by students were covered over, the best teachers in the department were fired because they had a different (much better) view for the program than the art institutes corporation (yes CORPORATION). The books are expensive and rarely used in most classes, and you can't buy used books from the bookstore, they have to be brand new. And on top of that, they are making plans to SHORTEN the semesters, class time (currently 3 hrs once a week), and getting rid of the more 'in depth' classes. All this place cares about is making as much money as possible by trapping students in a program where very few, if any, of the credits will transfer to a real college. And as for the general education classes, well lets just say my public high school and community college was much more challenging than NEiA. I have discussed these matters with many of my fellow students and 99% of them share my view of this school. I guess I could recommend this school for an associates degree if you have NO previous knowledge/training in the subject, but when you add all of this together the cons severely outweigh the pros and I wish I never attended this school.
