Bumped into a couple of sites with tons of comments on SCAD. I thought it wouldn’t hurt to document them on my blog so that they may benefit some people looking to apply for admission at SCAD.
Art School FAQ hosted on Livejournal is a pretty nice place. But there are a lot of misconceptions (or just facts blown out of proportion) about SCAD’s operations. No school is perfect. But SCAD seems to be the only school people like to bash on quite often.
StudentReview.com is another nice place to look at what people think of their schools. SCAD got a “C” for campus safety… Yikes. I think the Mayor of Savannah needs to really do something about that. Slow business for SCAD also means slow business for the city. While SCAD gets a B average, other more prestigious schools in big cities don’t seem to do quite as well in certain areas.
I hope people actually visit SCAD and talk to the professors, students and the people there. Reading opinions from those online forums is only one way to find out what something is “like”. But nothing beats the experience of visiting the school and talking to the people there in person.
