I'm going to preface this by stating that I'm probably going to upset some of my friends!
The amount of time I have wasted sitting through trashy, nearly worthless student presentations is unacceptable. Sometimes student presentations would literally crossover in to the following weeks' classes because most of the instructors almost all of the time let students "BS" for as long as the students want. One time, a student rambled on for over a half hour! That thirty minutes cost each student observing the presentation about $15!

The Art Institute of Las Vegas Reviews: "Helpful" Students
I am not sure if this is just local to Las Vegas, but boy howdy do students around here not really care for each other nearly as much as they should.
The Art Institute of Las Vegas Review: Faculty Shake Up = Excuses
In my first year at the Art Institute, there were some changes in the faculty going on. Some instructors, some in management. Still, everything appeared as normal.
However, after my first year, there was suppose to be a "portfolio review" that never happened. I vaguely remember this causing a bit of a disturbance when my second year portfolio review came up.

The Art Institute of Las Vegas Review: Housing Costs
It's hard for me to post on this subject because I have never lived in housing at AILV, but from what I've seen and heard from people who have lived there, it seems like a total sham. The very first thing you need to do is look at how much it costs per month for a student to live there
The Art Institute of Las Vegas Review: Guards or Gophers
When you walk in to the front doors of The Art Institute of Las Vegas, there is a security desk with a security guard. S/He is in charge of checking the ID's of students and faculty, making sure guests sign in, and watching the multitude of security cameras throughout the school. However, this is not all they do.
Here are a few other tasks I have seen the security guards perform:

The Art Institute of Las Vegas Reviews: Email Communication
One thing I grew sick of hearing was instructors not responding to emails from students.

Movie Loaf: UnHungOver
During my last day at the beach, there was a moment when I had nearly 9,000 fans and 33 paparazzi blocking my path away from the beach. I pleaded and begged for them to just let me go since I have just finished filming two movies and one of them was the third highest January release of all time.
Luckily, a 26-time war veteran haloed (parachuted) in between me and the crowd. He was able to get me 73 feet away. That's when "The Hangover" star Bradley Cooper emerged from the beach out of nowhere, perfectly camouflaged in a ghilley suit in the beach sand. I thought he would be holding an M24 sniper rifle, but he was using the M2 .50 Cal machine gun as a sniper rifle and carrying 500 linked rounds. What a badass!
(Here is how the badass appeared to me. I'm sure he was holding the M2 on purpose like that)
He appeared to tell me that they need to add in a piece to his movie that is being released Friday. When his character is in deep trouble at war, he needs to be saved by his long, lost battle buddy from junior high school.
He saw the drama in my eyes when trying to fight off the crowd, and that is what he needed for his battle buddy.
Thirty-two minutes later, the film's second unit was set up at the beach ready to shoot. Here are a couple screen captures from the shoot:
(The first one is shot specifically for the new vertical-convertible movie screens. In this shot, I just receieved a message from Bradley Cooper's character via telepathy for a request of dire help.)
(The second shot is me contemplating whether or not I need to save him. In this shot, I am thinking about how much I hate him. At the 7th grade prom, he slept with my prom date, but he was also my best friend. Don't worry, I end up deciding to save him.)
The movie releases nationwide this Friday. I hope you all see it!
