Pros

Lovely students. However the standard is not that high so there is plenty of dead wood that never turn up, that SAE admit just to make money., but i guess all places are like that. the good ones are very good though.

Cons

as the layers of admin especially at the academic admin level pile up, as the students' 'favourite' lecturer (apparently) i got confided in and learned how badly organised the place is. Zero career opps unless you wanna be an admin. Zero training opps. it is weird since it seems that SAE is just interested din making money but if they were they might do better by being better

Not what it can be.

Pros

SAE had a strong culture adapted to the industries it attempts to feed into. Good students enjoyed spending time learning, and that is key. It forced student to develop a proactive attitude. You eventually felt becoming part of a family.

Cons

Management is disconnected from the reality of the business it manages. The course are poorly considered and the pressure and demands on coordinators do not allow for a proper preparation and implementation. There are a lot of differences between what the marketing department promises and what the institute delivers.
