Dear Chuck,
From what I've heard about Full Sail, it's pretty much a joke of the industry. I didn't here about this school until I already got accepted to the Art Institute of Philadelphia. But, if there is a website,
http://www.fullsailsucks.com that totally bashes a school, then chances are it's not worth going there. Some of the horror stories from that site are just plain scary.
The Art Institute's tuition is broken down by major here:

I would encourage your son to go after a Bachelor of Science rather than an Associate of Science degree. The extra year will certainly make a difference not only on the resume, but in gaining more hands on experience before entering the job market. I can't find anything wrong about it here, even though I'm almost halfway through my first quarter. The teachers are nice and will almost certainly help you out if you stay after class. I am swamped with projects. This school is def. keeping me busy. There's a memo posted on the wall here at the computer lab that this Saturday, Oct. 25th there will be an open house. I'd strongly recommend checking these out. Good luck with your college hunting!
