It's expensive! But it's supposed to be a pretty good school. They use some real good studios in Orlando with top of the line equipment at their disposal. A lot of times they let bands come in and record for free to allow the students to learn setting up, micing, engineering, etc... I have a friend who went there, and he came out really knowing his stuff. That's about all I know about it though...Hope it helps a little!

Peavey ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A budy of mine went to Full Sail and now owns a million dollar studio. Of course, that's not hard to imagine when you look at the price of that kind of equiptment...
Of course, he already knew how to run a business before he went, was already an audio genius, and already a nice guy.
I think he made good contacts and learned the politics of the business in Florida, as well as learning the ropes of recording. Don't kid yourself too much, though. Take a good hard look at the people while you are there and not just the books.
While he was there he told me many times that it was a crock. I said the same thing about my school when I was in college, so I didn't pay too much attention to him.
I also remember he said that the interview process to get into the school is actually a glitzy salesm pitch. They make you feel like a rock star or something. Aftwerwards, he remarked that if you get a job soldering electronics after going to Full Sail, they concider it effective job placement. After all, they did teach you how to solder.
Just what I remember from a few conversations a few years ago.

Why not just go to a local studio and ask to intern there? You will spend less and learn more in a shorter time. If they like you they may end up hiring you after the internship.
I interned at TV stations and studios instead of going to school. When it comes time to get hired its about what you know not were you went to school.

Full Sail is a name brand. No one here will have an intern unless they've gone to Full Sail. The 2 grads I met kinda scared me. I was at guitar center on day (flash back music enters) checking out a used Ghost they had there. One other guy was in the room, looking at compressors. He and I struck up a conversation, he mentioned that he went to Full Sail. So finally the sales guy shows up and the full sail guy wants to demo 2 compressors. Sales guy hooks it up and leaves. The Full Sail guy could not figure it out. He was squashing the hell out of a kick, so I mentioned to him, ease up on the threshold and the ratio a bit. I will now quote him, "Threshold???" Tens of thousands of dollars and he didn't know what the threshold was!!!!! Just my experience......
