It has a lot of underdeveloped programs, especially if you plan to be a BAGD(bachelor of Arts in Game Design), which normally would lead most people to find somewhere better, but the cold truth is that game design still isn't a widely accepted degree program anywhere. This is probably the best thing you'll find for a degree specifically tailored towards the game industry because people still don't believe it's a real thing yet.
Underdeveloped programs but still more developed than anywhere else in the states for now.

The school has so far prepared me well for the actual industry because of the game team experiences that put you through the wringer. The teachers in charge of game try to help you, but sometimes they don't even know what they require from us and can't get it straight from each other. This, probably unintentionally, mimics the actual industry and when all is said all is done, the games turn out pretty good. However, most of the art teachers are great. They will put you through a lot and are understanding of your situation. There are a few bad eggs here and there, but teachers do take your feedback more or less. The school is hard because of the amount of work it shoves on you pretty much limits you to be chained to the school. The best part is that the most of the student body is very friendly and want to help you. Never do housing, it's overpriced and the apartments are sub par. It's just better and cheaper to find housing yourself at least after freshman year.
It's been great so far actually. There was a lot of confusion at first, but IT surprisingly managed to get almost everyone onto Teams in time for the end of spring break. The quality of teaching hasn't really changed and it's actually easier to interact and get in contact with the teachers. The teachers have also done their best to adjust and do their best to ensure you get the best education as possible so that you can graduate. My gripe is the art licenses. There is not enough for everyone at all. A lot of students use the programs at the same time which has lead students who are actually in the class that need the program are unable to complete their assignments. The school hasn't really done much to address this problem.
