Savannah College of Art and Design Top Questions

SCAD is not a state school where students go to be a part of sports, Greek life, and partying. SCAD is a conglomerate of people from all over the world who are focused on becoming extraordinary artists who will have a lasting effect on society. Prospective students interested in a college social scene should not attend SCAD.

If you are not creative and don't like drawing you shouldn't attend this school because foundation art classes are required for all majors. Also, if you have poor time management skills you won't do well.

one that is not devoted to their career path

SCAD Students should love art and being surrounded by people who are quirky and weird but also in credibly kind. Anyone that doesn't like art or is an introvert probably wouldn't fit in here.

SCAD is a school full of students who do what they love, and love what they do. There is a moderately heavy work load, and a high amount of students who are always partaking in the extra activities that SCAD has to offer outside of classes. If you dont desire making new friends from various backgrounds, working hard, learning new skills constantly, and sleepless nights, this is definitely not the place for you.

If someone isn't serious about work, they shouldn't attend this school. You have to have a passion and drive to do what you love here. Take my major, animation, for example. If I didn't have the passion to create these cartoons, the work load would be overwhelming, and I would inevitably give up.

If you lack the committment, and focus that a hard-working student should have, then SCAD isn't the place for you. You have to be able to work at a fast steady-pace, and be willing to put in the extra hours. Aside from that, there is only one more thing you'll need - cash. It's something I simply just don't have enough of, nor does the majority of the college population. So if you are a student strapped with cash, and the focus and determination of an elite student, then you, are perfect for SCAD.

Someone who isn't opened minded to the different kinds of ways that art, in any field, can enhance and change your life. Anyone who doesn't have a strong work ethic or the ability to get their work done in a timely fashion, or anyone who doesn't handle deadlines.

If you are not committed to doing your best and making the most out of every moment, then this is not the school for you. Savannah is a city that breathes art and history. Every building tells a story. Be willing to listen to that story and add some chapters of your own.

People who shouldn't attend this school are people that are not open to new ideas, cultures, or activities. Financial obligations should also be considered, as this school is a private institution that is very expensive. Unlike most campuses, this campus utilizes the entire city of savannah - that means classes can be a very lengthy distances; shuttles are not always punctual for those with limited means of transportation. The community is also very unsafe in the evening - a somewhat high level of criminal activity can make one, with late class times and considerable distances to travel, think twice about attending.
