  • I went to AMTI (now known as fortis) for their digital field and to be honest it wasn't pleasant. Teachers seem to waste time doing their personal business while students are left to entertain themselves for the day. That's 6 hours of myspace. What we did learn was rushes, choppy, and just out of order. The school is mostly medical however and i feel as though they seem to not care about the digital students concerns
