What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
The most valuable experiences I have gotten out ofcollege are advice on my art, my craft, and on life, and the social networking skills needed to exceptionally excell in my field of study. I am always learning new ways to create and advancing my skill set, but the best things I have learned and experienced at my college have been through the experiences I've had with my classmates and professors. My life would not be the same if not for my college experiences so far. I am truly grateful that I attend a college that gives me an opportunity to meet some of the most amazing people and artist to ever live. Although it may sometimes be "behind the scenes", the wonders of the artworld will never cease to amaze me.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about SCAD is that its persistant re-evaluation of itself, and continuous efforts to improve, sometimes leaves students in the dark immediately after the change i.e. new outsource contracts, new academic building mid year.

How rigid and terribly organized the advising, financial aid, and bursar departments are. They really have no interest in helping students, and are more focused on getting them in and out with as little effort on their part as possible.

What's unique about your campus?
The best thing about my school is the level of instruction that is deeply integrated into the professional field. Regardless of your specific major at Savannah College of Art and Design, the instructors and staff are equipping you as a more resourceful artist and more skillful employee. When one graduates from SCAD, they don't just meander and stumble into the working world--they charge at it full force.

What kind of person should attend this school?
Students who are passionate about their craft, and who want to explore new horizons should attend this college.

What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The school emphasises design careers rather than artistic exploration. This is not entirely bad, however if one comes in with hopes to work in art education, as a freelance artist, or in a gallery, their hopes may be shut down. Yes, these fields are more scarce, but if critiqued solely on commerical quality of one's body of work, even the most ambitious students waiver in their drive to succceed.

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
The school in general. SCAD has a huge name reconition. Going there also says a lot about me. When people hear where I go to school, they can infer that I'm an artist, and a pretty good one at that. After that, would probably be my professors. I've transfered campus recently, an the main school and my current campus are as different as night and day. The only similarity they have is the quaility of professors. Every professor I've encountered is a master in their field and also easy to talk to.

What are the academics like at your school?
The professors are very stuck up, much like the students. Also, for being an "ART" School, they are VERY "by-the-book" on grading projects, and very closed minded about new or different ideas.
Also, career services was a JOKE. They half-assed it, like they half ass everything else.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
SCAD does not listen to the voice of its students at all. In fact, I heard a rumor, from many different people, that SCAD's students once TRIED to organize a student council, and everyone who was involved was expelled or fired.
99{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the employees, either know nothing about the school, or are trained to tell nothing about the school.
The Paula Wallice is an idiot. The entire basketball program was recently shut down, and 2 million dollars spent on a horse stable, just because her niece likes horse riding.
Also, every major "change" that takes place at the school, is for the worse.
Example: The school KEEPS cutting more and more corners, like shorter and shorter hours for the buildings.
