The Art Institute of Las Vegas Reviews: Starter Kits

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

The Art Institute of Las Vegas issues Starter Kits to new students.  These are meant (I guess) to help students get acclimated to the school and give them some supplies to ease the study-struggle. Students do have the option to turn down the Starter Kits; however, I do not recall… Continue reading

The scheduling and offering of classes is by far one of the top issues students have with the school.
