Savannah College of Art and Design Top Questions

The people who shouldn't attend this school are people who don't want to work to improve themselves. SCAD is all about growing, learning and becoming better than who you were before. If you aren't willing to work hard, put in the time, and complete projects, going to school is a waste of time. It is also important to be able to come up with creative ideas and ways to solve problems. If self improvment and being willing to learn aren't your idea of fun don't go to school at SCAD.

If you are not willing to work hard to succeed or you are not passionate about the major you would take at SCAD, you shouldn't attend this school, as classes can be intense. If you are not passionate about what you would study at SCAD, it would be pointless to attend, as SCAD is an expensive school and it would be wise to only spend the money if you're serious about what you want to do.

If you are not able to take new things. Many different people attend this school. An artsy person is not a sterotype here...it's pretty much what you would expect.

People who shouldn't attend SCAD would be close-minded, unmotivated, those who think of college as a big party, those who think of college as a means to a higher paycheck, and those who aren't artistically inclined in some way, shape or form.

People who know exactly what it is they want to do here. The college is very expensive and it's not worth $30K+ a year to be here if you don't know what you want to do. If you do know what you want to do, be very smart way ahead of time with financial planning, have back-up planning and view your options (living on or off campus) BEFORE you apply. Apply to community colleges and if you need to transfer, do that.

The only reason someone shouldnt attend SCAD would be because they are not interested in Art and do not want to learn Art. Although i cam to this school not knowing how to draw or had never taken an art class before, I have learned a wealth of information to help me with my career and any task that comes my way.

Someone expecting a conservative, Southern college should probably not attend SCAD. It is a fine school, but it is extremely liberal, and conservative views are often not tolerated and quickly dismissed. Also, SCAD is quite expensive so it is better to figure out a financial plan for all four years before attending. Often, students will get two or three years completed here and then they will find that they are unable to get student loans and financial aid adequate enough to cover the remaining cost of attendance.

SCAD is open to all types of people and is very diverse. Therefore, anyone who is particularly close-minded should not attend this college.

The person who prefers a large university environment should not attend SCAD. I was attracted to SCAD because of its smaller size and the incredible dynamic between professors and students.
