Payment Notes
I choose Mages because it was the school with very appealing student artwork on their website, with student’s Motion Design and Concept Art. I wanted to learn everything like this. There is low student to lecturer ratio, so the teachers have more time to take care of each student individually and help them with the work. The good thing about Mages is that everyone is helping each other and everyone tells you not to give up.
