Savannah College of Art and Design Top Questions

So far, as a frshamn I have learend that motivated and determation is the key to succed in school and life. I have learned new skills and also had my eyes open to view the world in different ways. It has been valuable for me to attend because, I gained so much skills and strengths from this school. Life long lessons have been earned and learned.

Even though I've only attended Savannah College of Art and Design for just a little over a month, I've already learned so much. The school's curriculum starts you from the basics of art, which is really helpful for the students that want to pursue a creative career but never had any art-related classes provided at their high school. The classroom sizes aren't too big which allows more interaction between our professors when we do happen to struggle a bit in class. The school also provides amazing tutors and learning studios that students can attend if they still happen to fall short in class. One of my favorite aspects about SCAD is that it connects students to big household names in the industry that they want to work in after they graduate. I'm a fashion major, so I was excited to hear that I could have the opportunity to intern or even work for Marc Jacobs and other famous designer labels. The only negative I would have to say about the school is that it offers such a wide range of majors it can be hard to narrow it down.

Though my high school days I had taken almost every art class offered at my school. While these definately helped me become a better artist, coming to a private school like the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) really reinforced the subjects and priniciples I had learned before and taught me at least triple what I knew. Concidering today's competative job market, standing out in one's career field is key, and I feel like SCAD is more than capable of preparing me for not only making my work show above other's but also for actually working in my field, animation.

What I have gotten out of my college experience is responsiblity, courages, and attendence. How? . It has made me responsible because i have now know how to take care of my books. I couldn't have did that in high school because i was too busy trying not to get a book so i wouldn't tear it up or lose it. Now i know how to take good care of my books and not blaming it on someone else like my kids if it get tore up. I have the courage now because I could never do anything alone. The only thing I could ever do alone is talking and eating. Having the courage to go to school by myself and not think what other people are going to say about me. And I have to have the courage to show up each day. Attendence! I only attend class in high school to get my grade and go. But with college I have to be there in order to get a grade. And I never would have succeeded if it wasn't for this college experience. So this is what i have gotten out of my college experience.

Being connected to other artists and people already well-established in the fields of study is vital and a great way to prepare for a successful career and a successful future. In my time, I've been taught by successful sculptors, painters, and animators, and I have much ahead of me for that experience to grow, with perhaps a wider array of professional experience to help me.

What I have gotten out of my college experience is the desire to press forward to higher expectation of myself. My mindset has changed from a mind of just doing enough to get by to doing the best I possibly can. Through all of school, I never felt a challenged until I became a college student. It has been valuable to attend Houston Community College-Central because the professor are down to earth and caring. The assistant is there when you need it. The counselors does a great job in setting a student in the right direction. My experience has been overall valuable because the knowledge I am gaining can be used for life.

My college experience so far has been the most enriching experience in my life. I came from a small town and didn't know anyone when I arrived for school in Savannah. Since then I have met friends I will keep for a life time and come to love the city of Savannah and it's rich history. I have learned so much since I arrived at SCAD and I know I will continue to learn, the skills and information I am learning in school I know will directly help me in gaining a job and make me an effective employee once I graduate. There is such a hands on and intimate approach at SCAD, each and every student gets individual attention and support which I believe has helped us thrive both in our work and as young adults. At school we're not just another face in an auditorium we're all individuals and are treated as such. I never thought going to school would inspire me as much as it has but attending SCAD has invigorated and driven me to accomplish my goals and become the very best artist I can be.

This is an easy one to answer, I have found myself growing in all types of whys and not just in learning. My skills in reading, writing, and math have all greatly improved in the last year due to the college classes I have taken. I have my sights set on getting a good education and in that determenation I am also learing disapline. I am 39 years old and have a spinal injury that has taken me out of the field of work I was in (construction). I can no longer do the phisical work I was doing and I need the schooling and degree to move into construction management and that I can do.

I use to take the phrase "home body" too literal. The longest I'd gone or been away from home was two weeks. College was the beginning of the end of that part of my life. This past year of college was an extreme experience from family death within the first week of classes to the betrayal of best friends. I learned a lot about life and how not to depend on others all the time but still be humble enough to ask for help whenever it is needed. I became a social butterfly and very involved in my community! I experienced what felt like the beginning of the rest of my life. I am ready to take on any challenge that may come my way because I know that I will be fully prepared with the knowledge and tools that any human being should be equipped with. Thank you.

Attending SCAD was the best decision I made. You get what you put into it. The professors are amazing, and because they do not have tenure, they tend to be there because they believe in what they are teaching.
