Still, my teachers encouraged me to go and meet them, just to see what it could be like.
So, off I went, spending the morning at one of those two scools, and the afternoon program was simply to spend the rest of that day at the second school.
The first thing that got my attention in the first school is that while their website advertise sound design, they also focus on live stage performance and music, which I was not the slightest bit interested in. It also implied dealing with lighting, which... Yeah, you guessed it, I couldn't ever hope to manage.
The other thing is that they claimed the school year to be extremely fast. You enter in september, then in june the next year, you get out of there, fully capable on your own. And they didn't think I could keep up.
They also required every student to buy a mac. That's right. They didn't even provide you with this.
