Hi aameeshah. i'll be going for Game Development.
here are some of the details. i will also give you the email of an admission representative. you can contact him for more details.
All the degrees take 21 months, which means you'll be getting your bachelor's degree in 2 years instead of 4. Its an acceleratred program, so join Full Sail only if you have good knowledge of the field that you are planning to join. As an example, you should have a good knowledge of programming and algebra before joining Game Development program.
And now, the tution cost:
Its $100,000. Yeah, thats too much. $75,000 is the tution fee and $25000 is living cost.
Dont worry about the living cost. It doesnt cost you a $1000 a month. At most, it'll be around $400 and if you're sharing accomodation with someone, it'll go down even more.
But you have to show a bank statement of $100,000 when applying for admission.
If you have relatives in US who are permanent residents of US or have a Green Card, you can apply for loans. Loans are the best way to pay for the tution. If you're serious about joining, let me know. I have accomodation there and i'll be glad to share it with someone.

Admission Requirements:
1- High School degree or FSc
2- IELTS score of 6 or above
3- Bank statement

Here is the email of an admission representative. His name is Jack Harris. Tell him that i refered you to him. My name is Muhammad Ali. He knows me.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
