A Day in the Life of 51 Guildhall Students


General Class Structure

Morning classes: 9:30am-12:30pm
Lunch: 12:30-2:00pm
Afternoon classes: 2:00pm-5:00pm

On average, 51 Guildhall students work on game projects and homework outside of class 15 hours per week. It’s hard work, but it pays off! Our alumni say it’s absolutely worth it. Because our model mimics the style and pace of the industry, the work and time you put in here is excellent training for the “real world.”

We have a lot of fun too. Our Student Activities Committee plans regular social events, like Game Nights and Happy Hours, for you to unwind and enjoy.
