The Savannah College of Art and Design

I really feel like that all the money we throw at SCAD is used with the intention to make SCAD look better with the students as an after thought. The library has over 70 new iMacs which cost about $1300 each. How ever when my Motorcycle was vandalized IN THE GATED DYSON PARKING LOT! not 200 feet from the security guards They have no cameras any were except the entrances so the only thing they did was call a cop who gave me crap about no knowing my social security number.

The food is barely eatable even if you are starving. And it's never worth the $7 a meal they charge you.

The dorms are alright. Over priced but Turner House has nothing dramatically wrong with it.
SCAD WILL TAKE EVERY PENNY THEY CAN EVERY CHANCE THEY GET. There are tons of different fees and charges and peniltys every time you turn around. Do your reserch. Try and get some scholorships and make sure to keep you GPA above a 3.0. That's how they are able to give money to incoming 50% of students every year, most aren't able to keep it past their first quarter.

and if you get sick, you might as well go wait in the emergency room. They have ONE NURSE PRACTICTIONER TO SEE EVERYONE. Seriously, one nurse to see EVERYONE, students, faculty, staff. So, if you don't get to the walk in hours by like, 9:30, they turn you away. Its really an inappropriate set up for a school with this many people.

I continue to vent about my current situation... which i just wanted to put out there, continue to read if you like, but if not, know that SCAD is an uncompromising institution which does not care about it's students, only their tuition money.As a student at SCAD, I've run into a rather puzzeling, but not uncommon problem with what you would think is an easy fix. I need a particular class to graduate, but it is not being offered in the quarter I need to take it in to graduate. The school's policy in such a situation is to have the student complete an independent study. Seems like an easy solution, right? WRONG. The department chair refused to grant me an independent study saying that it would, "damage the sanctity or the program." The big problem here is without being able to take this class in the quarter I need it to graduate, I CANT GRADUATE!!! Here's why: I will then have to attend school taking one course per quarter, which means I can't take out student loans to pay for that one class, or for living in savannah. Which means, I can't go to school. I also will lose my health insurance, so if something happens -- I'm totally screwed. I've been all the way up the ladder of command with this, and even at the president's office all I have heard from them is, "Opps, Sorry about that! Guess you'll have to find another way to pay for it!!"
