In the early 90's SCAD was the bestArchitecture
In the early 90's SCAD was the best value to obtain a nationally accredited Architecture degree in 5 years. This was one of the best career decisions I have ever made. Like with anything in life you get out of it what you put into it. This is a great school for those seeking a degree in the creative arts. The only regret was not taking the summer education opportunities in Europe.

Question
People who say SCAD is terrible didnt giveBrightArchitecture
People who say SCAD is terrible didnt give it a chance. . . freshman year sucks! Foundations isnt what you went to scad for. . . intro classes isnt what you went to scad for. I struggled so much my first year and a half at scad, but once I got into my studio classes I remembered why I came to SCAD. I finished all 6, 5 hour interior design studios. They were hard, VERY hard, I didnt have a social life outside of my studio. But my final quarter at SCAD I didnt have any ID studios left and I really missed them. The girls that were in the program are probably the most amazing girls I have ever met. I honestly dont think Ive ever met nicer more genuine people before. Everyone at SCAD is so talented regardless if they are lazy or not. I dont consider myself an artist, I cant draw, but I can design like no other! SCAD is amazing and some of the professors go way beyond to help you succeed. Anyone that says otherwise is lazy and not taking advantage of their resources. I do admit that SCAD is all about images and will tell you anything to come to the school, and they dont use all the money we pay to come here they way it should be used, but at the same time were a top art school for a reason. And we made it to the top in just 30 years that its been around thats saying a lot. Paula Wallece sucks beyond belief but ill admit the school the co created is amazing and Im so sad its over.

Question
Scad sucks!!! This school is not what theyBrightArchitecture
Scad sucks!!! This school is not what they advertise it to be. They just take all your money and give you crappy arrogant teachers who don't help and barely speak english. The students are snotty and unapproachable. I did manage to make a few friends(5) but other than that its boring here. Savannah is dangerous it's nothing but projects and ghettos all over the place. NEVER WALK ALONE EVER!!! you will get robbed and/or approached by random savannahians. The food is horrible!!! They serve the same exact foods everyday. You will starve going here unless you go buy your own groceries and food which just burns an even bigger hole in your pocket because supplies and books are way too expensive.The architecture major program is unnecassarily hard!!! They make you take foundation classes you don't need, and once you get into your major classes they are ridiculously hard on you and your only in intro to architecture!. The professors all were practicing architects and switched to teaching, so that tells you something is wrong with this career. They have this attitude like they made it and did it all so you should kiss their asses. Please! DO NOT ATTEND UNLESS YOU WANT TO STARVE, WASTE MONEY, AND BE A LONER FOR 4/5 YEARS.
