I am also a Full Sail grad and I can honestly say nothing but great things about every aspect of the school. Before going to Full Sail I had gone to Middle Tennessee State University which also has a recording program. MTSU sucked, Full Sail was awesome.

I had quite a few years of experience in live sound and music recording before going and still learned a lot. It also got me interested in post. I had 6 job interviews line up prior to graduation and started working in a paid position 3 days after graduation. No matter what school you go to though, you will only get out of it what you put in. I had guys in my class that have done nothing in audio, but they didn't try to learn everything they could have.

I am still in contact with a number of instructors and people in the career placement department and they are extremely helpful for me. When I have had interest in changing jobs they have provided me with several possibilites and were always professional.

Schools like F.S. are indeed expensive, but working as an unpaid intern for 6-12 months is also expensive. Like Georgia said...plan on going broke for a while. No matter how you go about it, if you don't love the industry and working in audio, don't waste your time. You will be miserable.
