General Comments

I attended Columbia Academy In the early 90's and took the Digital/Analog Recording Arts Program. Was told during enrollment I would have access to the studios during my off days as well as all the career opportunities in the field, only to find out the instructors usually book the studios for their own personal use , and they were teaching methods used which were already outdated. The instructors act like used car salesman and make you feel like all you need is their certificate in order to maintain employment. What they fail to mention is the music and recording industry is about networking and "who you know" and networking which they provide zero assistance and most are aspiring or washed up musicians and producers themselves who have had little or no success in the industry that's why they are instructors. When I read all the so-called success stories they have posted, the actual course had no relavencey in their success. Now I am stuck with a $14,000 student loan that I have to try and pay back in the construction field. As soon as you walk into the school its a sales pitch they had the student loan forms all filled out for me and all I had to do was sign on the line.
