Getting the full experience of the students in the learning and creative environment that prepares them for the workforce AND how the workforce responds to them was enlightening. Alongside of the in school instruction, I was impressed hearing how the faculty actively placed students in real world situations to apply their training, get real world experience and build relationships.
The environment is encouraging, welcoming and extremely helpful. I find that the teachers and the students here are passionate about the work that they do and teach. I actively recommend going to O.M.S. especially for those who are driven to pursue a career in media.
I’ve only been going here for three weeks, but the teachers genuinely care. If you have questions they are there to guide you to your end goal.
9/092024 I went in to ohio media school valley view location to Meer up with Emily lozada to visit the campus, along with my son and nephew. We took a tour of the school and same day spoke with admissions for signing up, the process seemed kinda rush because we were told classes start 9$/23 if we wanted to attend. The process was started, I was ok with the tush process but the other guys tht came with me was not. Along comes my other nephews tht seem to vist and also had a tush process. The process was so rushed with my nephews they didn't even complete the process and was added to the roster without knowing if they really wanted to attend the school. We all seemed very excited about the school , until my son and nephews had attended for 3days In building after tht they were no longer interested in intended the school. We were told the only way to back out at this point is to finish with financial aid because if they didn't proceed with the process they would be charged the full amount for the audio engineering class 12000. My son and nephews where railroaded n backed into a corner when it came down to the school to withdraw them . One of my nephews was added to the list and told them he wanted to think about it and the next day I went into class his name was on the list of students . I can only imagine how many others this has happened to especially black Americans in poverty.
I have had a really good experience at Ohio media school. It has opened my eyes to the opportunies that are available to me in this industry and throughout my personal life. I had no idea all the things I could possibly do with just my voice alone let alone the knowledge obtained. You could be a director, producer, or creator of your own content. Possibly find your way onto an already thriving radio station or production team. The teachers are hands on and knowledgeable, they all work in the field they are teaching currently. This experience has given me a new take on life and my journey to be forever successful. The tools are all at my disposal and available to me to make myself great. This is one of the best decisions I have made for myself. The best is yet to come.
Great instructors that actually work in the media industry. On-campus radio stations are amazingly wonderful. Everyone is willing to help you reach your goals so nobody's left behind. Love the school, teachers and my fellow classmates. OMS ROCKS 🙌🏽
Just started a month ago. So far so good. I'm learning new things and refining things I already knew.
I attended OMS in May of 2024. I joined the Audio Emphasis Program, which was during the evenings from 6pm - 10pm, Monday - Thursday of every week. It was a 6-month program that felt like a waste of $13,000 as well as the time spent going there. I expected to be taught the ins and outs of a mixer and how to mix a song from start to finish. The students could never receive adequate lessons because the instructor was subject to being given new students every 4 weeks. We participated in some group projects which consisted of the students making songs together, where someone took on the role of producer, another could be a musician, someone was the engineer, and there may have been a few artists. However, if you didn't already know how to create/produce a beat, you weren't going to be taught how to. As far as learning mixing went, there were a few lectures where we needed to take notes to be able to retain any of it, but little in the way of teaching how to properly mix in the software or how to use the mixer. At a community college, there's a chance that you'll get some money back from your Pell Grant. Here, not only do they exhaust all of your Pell Grant money, but you have to apply for private loans and pay an out-of-pocket balance on top of that. At least that was the case with me. There were no structured lessons that allowed students to feel we were progressing toward mastering a particular skill. By the 3rd month, we were expected to begin working alone on individual projects. As I spoke with fellow classmates (as we neared the end of our 6 months), I found that many of us were experiencing the same frustrations and feelings regarding the value that the school gave to us in terms of what we were learning and the likelihood of it helping us to make money afterwards. There was nothing "state of the art" about the facility. The software didn't work properly in the main tracking room, every computer they had for Audio Emphasis students, which was a total of 4 computers, was slow. There were times where our instructor didn't have answers to questions regarding the software being used. The furniture was old. We were even told by an instructor that we wouldn't be told "what" to do because he wanted us to learn how to "figure it out". We paid money to be "taught what to do". Isn't that the point of a trade school? One of the highlights of me attending that school was when I got to meet Krayzie Bone and the fact that I got to network with fellow students and alumni. But the biggest question in my mind is: Where is all the tuition money going? And why isn't it being used to improve the facility or equipment at the school or the quality of the education? How can a school require $13,000 for a 6-month program and not ensure that the students are retaining the material or even guaranteed an internship at the least? If you've ever attended Ohio Media School, especially if you were in the Audio Emphasis program, please leave a comment on this review.
Amazing school would definitely recommend coming here!
Coolest school I ever went to. I should have come here before a university because you get an amazing experience all around!
This is a great schooling options for everyone. The people here are a great people
The Ohio Media School has been such a blessing. It feels like family. As a single mother of three, balancing work and school was made possible with their online flexibility. I was able to care for my loved ones while pursuing my passion. They welcomed my creativity, answered all my questions, and made me feel comfortable throughout these last 10 months.
Awesome learning experience, hands-on, inviting staff, and a first class ticket to your preferred media field
Very fast education, better than a four year college.
In my first 3 weeks of school here, Ive learned more about media than I ever thought I would.
Ohio media School is an excellent place to learn everything media. I'm taking the Radio and Television Broadcasting program and I'm learning so much more than I expected. The instructors are awesome and the hands on experience is unbeatable. If you're thinking about being in the media industry. Ohio Media School is the place for you.
I love my experience here so far. My classmates are cool and the teachers are very helpful.
A very excellent school with an amazing staff and faculty. The instructors are well versed in their fields and offer supreme instruction and support. Very supportive of their students and instructors.
