Nossi College Of Art

Talk to someone who has graduated from this college like me and a bunch of my friends. I have friends that were in all the graduate programs and none of them can get a job. I have went to interviews many times and after the interviewer read what college I went to and asked me about the things I was trained in, I wasn't hired. Nossi told me that they could guarantee me a job when I graduate because they had really good connections. Its a secretary sending mass email letter, jobs that are from other states. WOW like I am going to move to Alaska for a job that pays 20,000 a year and less. I have called up to Nossi several times and now the secretary just gives me the run around. Its not just me but almost all Nossi graduates don't get real jobs. I am not talking about freelancing either but a full time job. Nossi is a bull crap college that will get you no where. Please don't make the same mistake I did and go to a real college. I am going to another college and getting a real degree this time so I can pay my loans off for Nossi and the new college I am going to. You want to now where this degree got me a job at well a factory. If anyone has had this same issue please help me place a lawsuit on this college so they can't rip off anymore people. more

I came to Nossi wanting to learn web design. I learned so much more. One year after enrolling, I landed a dream job as a graphic designer with the Summit Agency in Nashville. Before my classes at Nossi I had never even opened Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Quark or any other design program. Now I use all of those everyday. The staff at Nossi is TOP NOTCH! From Rick Schrand (head of graphic design, author and teacher of todays most popular animators) to Jeff Preston (head of Illustration, member of The Society of Illustrators), the instruction is incredible. Pros: Incredible instruction from PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD! Cons: The campus is spread out all over Goodlettsville, but it's not too bad. more

Nossi is a joke. There are 3 good instructors and dozens of bad ones. The FLASH instructer for the Fall semester of '07 DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO START A NEW PROJECT! He didn't show up for the second class, so the students sat in the classroom talking to each other while Rick Schrand (1 of the Good Instructors) went back and forth from his class to try to help them learn something. When they figured out that he wasen't coming back they had to scramble to find a replacement. The students were 4 weeks behind by this point, and the new instructor is about as bad as the first. This is just the most recent case of lousy instruction. All of the equipment at Nossi is broken, out of date or just plain dangerous. Laptops have been ruined from desks tipping over, the papercutter is rusted, there are raw electric wires exposed on the tracing projector, and rodents reside all over the place. Textbooks are REQUIRED (or you fail the course) but NEVER USED! Instead, the instructors hand out photocopied pages of other books, and I don't even think thats legal. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TALK TO NOSSI! Talk to current and past students. Check places like Myspace for students. Nossi is an expensive school with cheap education. Pros: Jeff Preston, Rick Schrand and Allison Logan Cons: All other instructors, Crappy equipment, and a lousy reputation. more
