Sirus is the only one who goes there...

Make sure your math skills are exceptional... I was rejected because of my low math skills.

If that's my only concern I'm mos def going there, considering I took calculus last year. What about finance? Does it cost a lot? Is it easy to get financial aide? I'm probably going to take student loans anyways because of my family's income.

Is that aide that you qualify for, or aide altogether? Because I'm pretty far down on the scale of net income (less than 35k a year)

I may be mistaken, and Sirus seems to be avoiding this thread like the plague (as he usually does), but I believe Digipen doesn't offer it's own in-house financial aid. You'll need to go elsewhere for that. The school is crazy expensive (though not more-so than major universities). I know that Sirus is really stretching to be able to afford it all.

For the most part I can't be assed to read through everything on the damn page tonight but I've sent for a brochure.. I will probably either call them or talk to my web design teacher who knows a lot about digipen and other tech schools.

You are a fucking idiot.  Why are you even talking about this when you have no idea?


Aid is available both from school and a outside sources (I go through CollegeLoanCorp.) Come visit if you want.

fuck me. I spent way more to goto UCSB to get a philosophy - ethics and public policy major. and what am i doing with it? web design. and if i went to a school like that, i would know way more than i do and would be raking in fatty checks from some fortune 500 company where i really only do 30 minutes of work a day, take 2 hour lunches and go home at 3 in a company car.

pft... at least i smoked a lot of good dope....
