SCAD
is a joke. Unfortunately I did not realize this until
it was too late. I was graduated and owed loans
over $100,000 in total. I've been a graduate from SCAD
about 3 years now and I have found out that
SCAD's “outstanding reputation” is pretty much a bunch of bull.
I've been on countless interviews since graduating and I'm being
100% honest, companies will not hire me strictly because I
am from SCAD. I actually had an interviewer tell me
directly that if I had gone to Parsons or Ringling,
any other art school but SCAD, he would have hired
me. SCAD has a reputation alright, but it's not a
good one. I found out it wasn't just me after
talking to other SCAD graduates who have apparently been having
the same problem. Much like others, I have been forced
to attend another school just to be able to show
companies that I have experience outside of SCAD, so that
they wont hold it against me. Here is SCAD's “outstanding
repuatation” from employers points of view: SCAD is not a
real art school, it is merely a time waster and
money machine. Most students at SCAD are not even real
artists, just kids who dont know what they want to
do with themselves yet, so they cruise by spending their
parents money with the added bonus of being able to
skip math, science, and business classes. Which is another thing
that bit me in the butt after graduation. I thought
it might be a problem while I was there, and
it was confirmed when I tried to get a job.
Even as artists...YOU MUST TAKE A BUSINESS COURSE! Or at
least have some business sense. SCAD skips over all of
that. They are way too focused on actual art classes,
they dont offer anything business oriented. I've had countless employers
ask me “Have you taken any business courses?” “Any math?”
It's not just enough to be a talented aloof artist
anymore, you also must have a business mind. SCAD apparently
doesn't realize this. Had I known I would run into
all this trouble now, I would have just went to
a basic 4 year university and did another major and
just an art minor. At least then I would have
ended up with a more well rounded education allowing me
to get a job, instead of just art, art, and
more art. I suggest anyone considering SCAD do the same.
Change your mind now, if not, you'll regret it in
the long run. Do not waste your money or time
on SCAD. The only person who benefits from SCAD is
the schools president and professors, the students get the raw
end of the deal. As far as everything else goes
about SCAD...the students are mean, spoiled, little rich brats or
they are seriously depressed and/or suicidal from being at the
school...the professors are egotistical dictators who are usually jealous of
their students and often they are racists or play favorites...the
dorms are like mini prisons and off campus isnt much
better or safer...the food is far from good or healthy...you
spend more money on the school than you do learning
anything from it...and Savannah is just a crummy, boring, dirty
place in itself, definitely NOT a real “college town.” All
in all, SCAD is just not worth it. You wont
get a real college experience from it, nor will you
find success from being a SCAD graduate...you'll only find rejection.

Responses Frankly, I have no sympathy for you. SCAD has had a LOT of bad rumors about them for years! It was all over the web. You could and should have gone to a number of other schools. You chose to either ingore all of the bad info about SCAD or just didn't do your research about the school. Either way, you get no sympathy from me. |
| Hahaha Scad offers a Business Management and Entrepreneurship Minor honey. No matter what college you go to you have to take and use everything to your ability. You should have at least taken up the personal initiative to learn the things you felt were missing either elsewhere or at least requested it. Wow |
| Just a quick note from a SCAD parent here. My son is FINALLY graduating from SCAD and from the stories he tells me, his review is not much different than the one posted above. What I have found appauling is the number of lies SCAD tells to students considering the school. I'm guessing whoever posted this review did research and take personal initiative to learn things, but like many students (the other considerable amount who wrote negative reviews)they probably just fell for it. Congrats to you for having a better experience than others..maybe you're just lucky. Do not bash those who had less of a fortunate experience. You dont have to show sympathy, but perhaps you shouldnt prove the person right when they basically stated that SCAD students were arrogant. You show your arrogance with these replies. As far as the Business Management Minor, that was only recently added to the school. Did you consider that it probably wasnt available when the student above was attending?? |
