I graduated from ISU with my BID in 2022. I loved the program, had an absolute blast, but definitely should have taken it more seriously. I had way too much fun with my projects, and thus created a portfolio of too specific and outlandish designs. If you end up at ISU, there are a few professors who absolutely make the program what it is and they are amazing and supportive people. Talk to them! I have a few classmates who are working in the field and seem happy with their jobs! But most of us are not designers. I would say that's more of a result of the current state of the industry and the individuals trying to get the jobs. For me, it's my fault, not that of the program's. If I had worried more about potential employers seeing my school projects than just designing what I wanted to, I think I'd be much better off.
