What captivated me to join ADMI was how receptive everyone was when I came to inquire about the course. The career advisors gave me a tour around campus, and I was taken to the TV studio and the labs, and they even allowed me to interact with the equipment. That experience stood out for me compared to other institutions I had previously visited, and it generally made my decision-making process easier.

Advice I have for current students pursuing different courses at ADMI is that stay sharp, be curious, don't be afraid to ask questions from your lecturers, be outgoing. If you think that you have a project that you can do, even if you're in your first semester, go for it. You can always collaborate and take it as a learning lesson, whether it works or not. Take it as a learning lesson and keep a positive mindset. Learn to network, very important, because you never know who you might come to meet out there.

The most exciting part about the Game Design & Development course was learning how to use level design and game design aspects in my games. I had so much fun applying these two in my projects, and with these skills, I look forward to creating more prototypes of the games I might work on in future.

The best part about the 2D animation course is constantly being exposed to different ways of thinking and the multiple resources available to animators. I also found the faculty extraordinarily passionate and always willing to help us overcome hurdles.

My experience at ADMI has been superb. Having joined the school with little knowledge in graphic design, the school has really honed my creativity and skills. I love seeing how my design skills became progressively better with each project I did and how each project was a chance for me to try something new. From my experience I can Valiantly say that ADMI is a top pick when looking for a creative school.

The most important skill I learnt during my time at ADMI is the importance of teamwork and collaboration. The 2D animation industry is quite vast, and it requires you to specialize in a specific skill and work with your team members towards the completion of a project.
