Why is 5/8" MDF so rare?
deadkenndys1105:
Im going into there game and simulation programming. While they do have a lot of school they are most very small and not that easy to get into for there computer based stuff. Majority of the places that are based around computers only teach 3 or 4 programs. Im taking the GSP they also have business programming, hardware, and they just introduced web design starting in the fall. The BP programming is programming things like word and I hop you know the rest. So yes DeVry has schools all over but they are all specilized and almost completely unrelated. Sorry paulscade for this being so off topic.

Donkey Kong,
I would advise against carving in MDF. It will never be as durable as hard-woods. And it is super nasty when you start removing large quantites of material. You also wouldn't have the grain texture, which I think adds to your projects.
Will it work? Sure it will. Will your materials cost go way down? Heck yeah. Will your final product suffer? I think so.
And about Devry, they are a technical institute (which I hate as a term because I graduated from a real "Institute of technology" University). It is not a "true" college or university, but isn't a bad thing either. ITT tech, Devry, etc work very well for highly motivated people who want to work in a better job than retail.
To be accepted unconditionally, you just have to be in the top 50% of your high school class, or have had a 2.7 or higher. If you don't have either of those, you can take a skills test (which I'm sure any competent high school graduate can pass).
I can say this - those that are good enough to graduate DeVry at the top of their class ALWAYS end up dissatisfied with their career opportunities, and want to go get more education.
