The Art Institute of Las Vegas: Exams

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

The Art Institute of Las Vegas: eBooks

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

One of the biggest topics during the quarterly town hall meetings when I was going to them every quarter was the fact that we were having eBooks forced on to us.  They are an automatic charge of $50 to have the eBook delivered to your school account.  There was no… Continue reading
