Not a college that's good for mental health and wellness. DigiPen follows its aim to prepare for work/career, but not a place with diversity and good for socialization; people are very introverted in general.
Following industry-standard is more important than creativity or personal voice here, although you may have a few classes able to do something original projects as a BFA. It's mixed with good and poor teachers. Most materials you learn here can also be learned online for free or from a lot of cheaper courses, and getting the diploma, in the end, makes learning the skills a lot more expensive.
If you want to study BFA, I'd recommend you to research deeply about working in game/film industries, which are often stressful environments to be in. Make sure that's absolutely where you want to go, then you may be benefited from attending this school. If you just want to make arts and be creative, there're better places to go, such as some universities that're bigger and more diverse.

DigiPens a really good college in my opinion for BFA. There’s definitely a lot of rough edges but students were able to fight for what they believed and changed aspects of the system. You definitely get what you put into it. I think having more professors that know the industry and what it is today is where it’s lacking. Even after a few years the industry changes I think they should get more up to date professors or have industry professionals come in more often to talk and give advice. The best thing about DigiPen is the projects class, making a film or game with other students was super beneficial to my understanding of working with others and improving my communication and well as creating a basic pipeline to understand an industry pipeline and being more creative and problem solving. There can be a super fun camaraderie with the other students and it’s nice to find friends and people that will always have your back
I'm very excited to attend this college, and love it's specific courses tuned to my degree. I recently planned out my schedule for the next semester, and I love the amount of free time I have between, after, and before classes! I even have some time to go to work.
