SAE Institute

School life.

It’s a totally different experience all together from a private institution to a government school. The people, the environment, the lecturers, the assignments, everything is just different.

Which would i prefer? I would say a private institution. Not because the workload there is lesser, not because the people there are mostly eurasians, not because the attendance are not marked, not because i have more free time on my own.

Apparently, the lecturers there are willing to spend out of lesson time to teach you more. I remembered i was a pure noob in audio production. Im suppose to record a band, mix and master the song to almost perfection (like the ones you hear in the albums sold in music stores). I had difficulties doing so then. But my lecturers and supervisors, are so willing to offer help even when their duty and office hours have ended. I even had a nickname for one of them: 24hours helpdesk :)

He was practically 24hours available to help those students in need!

We students do not need teachers who, 1st lesson already told us: class, if this module is too tough for you, just try to pass can already. Somehow, after hearing this, i have no interest in doing well.

Anyways, i just love my experience in SAE. Anyone interested in studying audio engineering, web designing, games designing, anything related to the media, i think SAE is the place. The people there are wonderful! The lecturers and supervisors there are fantastic! No doubt about that! And most importantly, they have a broad network with other companies who are doing very well in this industry (eg, Lucus Film) and more of them, im sure!

Even after you graduate, they contact you once in awhile to offer you jobs available in the industry! How great is that, isnt it?

I just so miss my days there..
