My honest perspective
My time at Macromedia wasn't easy. I was juggling serious personal constraints throughout my studies and couldn't always show up the way I would've liked. Despite that, I managed to complete every project and finished strong, with top grades on my final project and thesis. What made that possible was the quality of the professors. These are genuine industry veterans who care about your growth as a game designer, and that comes through in every interaction. No matter my situation, they were understanding and engaged.
The honest caveat is that Macromedia is a private university, and the administrative side of things reflects that. Expect some friction when dealing with anything beyond the classroom. But if you come in knowing what you want: a recognized degree, access to experienced mentors, and a foot in the door of the industry, this place delivers on what counts. The reality is, to this day, having a degree still opens doors, and the people teaching here will genuinely help you walk through them.

Wie gut ist deine Hochschule digital aufgestellt?
Given my circumstances, the digital setup was something I depended on more than most. It's genuinely hit or miss. Some professors go the extra mile and record and upload their lectures, which was a lifeline for me personally. Others don't, and when you're not in the room, that gap is hard to bridge. It really comes down to the individual professor rather than any consistent institutional standard. The open-mindedness of professors definetly helped me clear the biggest hurdles during my own time there.
