Savannah college of art and design Reviews

This school was the best decision I have made for myself. For the first time, I feel good about myself in what I m creating.

I studied Graphic Design and Painting at SCAD many years ago when it was a smaller school. Although I did enjoy the fine arts environment and made some lasting friendships there I do not think the school did a great job of providing its students with real world skills that would actually pay off in the market place. My recommendation to prospective students is to talk with industry professionals that are doing the work you eventually want to do and get a feel for the job itself and also the salary it will pay. The high price of this school does not provide a good ROI (return on investment) for it s students.

After I moved to Atlanta and attended a different art school I got the skills I needed to have a productive career, I stayed busy and could not only pay my bills but do much more. I would strongly recommend taking a look at the practical side of the education you are looking for and diligently explore your options.

SCAD is, in a word, perfect. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to have spent 4 years of my life there. Savannah and the school itself are the opposite of depressing. If you want 4 years of fun and have them result in an actual high-paying career, go to SCAD!

Thank you President Wallace for giving me the opportunity to grow and become the best I can be by immersing myself with your cutting edge tools, extraordinary professors, unbelievably talented students and the vast contacts of who s who that I would have NEVER been able to meet without SCAD ..**Your Dream** ..That has now made mine come true. IF you can DREAM it, You can make it come to fruition @ SCAD ////!!!!
I am HONORED to call myself a SCAD Alumni

LOVED IT! While there is seemed boring and repetitive but looking back it was a great time. If you are thinking about double majoring or staying for your Masters I would highly recommend it. I've started two businesses already and I owe what I know to SCAD!

I received an excellent education during my undergraduate work at SCAD, I earned a BFA in painting, which not only prepared me with the skill set to produce beautiful work, but also with a strong business knowledge base as well. This September I will be celebrating 20 years as a self-employed Artist.

Grateful,

SCAD is the place to go for self-motivated artists who don't need to have their hand held. You can learn career-making skills and portfolios, but you will only get as much as you put in. Work for it, and you will be a success.

Doesn't worth the money. At all.
First of all they lie everybody about the scholarship. First they say that you've received this much as an ANNUAL amount, but once you're in, they cut it to 2/3. SCAM.
Also they'll tell you there are more scholarships once you're in. don't ever count on that. I've been there 2 years, never seen a single soul get more funds than what they offered in the first place.
Secondly, they call themselves "the university of creative careers" while the career adviser may never even see you during your whole time of study (true story- happened to a couple of people) and will never answer your emails and inquiries ( happened to myself, all the time). In some departments even the career adviser herself is a recent graduate student. It doesn't matter if the student/adviser has a lot of connections and is a successful one in her field herself, but unfortunately this is not the case here.
In one sentence, the day you graduate, they kick you out of school, and you are ALL BY YOUR OWN. of course they always want to hear about your success stories to brag about, you know.
And last but not least, Savannah is beautiful and all, but what I was looking for as an student/ job seeker was knowing people in the filed, and making connections. They have a career fair every year, but it's mostly about small local businesses, so if you'r in film/digital media/fashion/writing/sequential arts, it's gonna be a time waster.
All and all, if I had the knowledge I have today, I would never waste my time and money in SCAD, I'd go to a big city, meet real people, and attend a school that really cares about students, and not wants to rip them off, even on the commencement day by trying to sell them $200 mandatory gowns.

I've only helped with some student scad films. It's a great school! Nice college life and plenty of fun things to do in Savannah. Great place if you have the $$$$

Amazing college. We are here on a tour. I hope my son attends this school in the Fall.
