hi!!
idk if u still check/answer asks since the last one is from over a year ago but i was wondering what you thought of sheridan animation so far? I got in for fall 2023 but since it’s more expensive than most of the animation schools closest to me (france lol) i’m debating whether or not to go & would really appreciate your insight!!!
you are so lucky i checked the email that tumblr sent me HAHA i am typically very dead but i would love to answer your ask!! first of all, congrats!! that is so huge :) this program just keeps getting harder and harder to get into over the years haha so honestly, without even delving into whether sheridan has been a positive experience, if you're debating turning it down for the financial part of it, ask yourself if school is something you value a lot! if you got into a program that you believe is not as strong but is more affordable, there is no harm or shame in pursuing it :) education can only get you so far as an animator, the rest is you and your own effort to be honest, i have really been enjoying sheridan!! the program itself is just so strong and i have been enjoying all my classes and my profs -- the issues i have with it are just things related to admin and scheduling structure, stuff that is not exactly specific to the program and are just issues you would face from going to any school haha -- for example, they have some classes that are literally back to back or even overlapping each other??? like what... i feel really confident that i have improved since the beginning of last year -- definitely, one of the best parts is the active critique and support we get to improve on our work, it feels like the profs are really attentive and care about helping us get some strong pieces! i will be just very upfront, however, and say that people consider the workload to be very heavy -- in my personal opinion, i find it's not much more than my workload was in high school, and with good time management, it's pretty easy to get the assignments done early (as long as you don't go too overboard) so if you struggle with focus and time management, it might be a tough few semesters for you haha not to mention the people you will meet in your year will probably make your time there that much more worth it :,)!!! for me, school is something that needs to be in-person/a social environment, and everyone in sheridan is just so passionate to share their work and to improve it as well! we all help and inspire each other, and it's just such a positive and supportive space! i hope that helped! i'd be happy to answer any other specific questions you have, just DM me on discord or instagram, if possible :)
