Don't go there. The school has it's priorities all wrong. They're making sports teams at an art school so SCAD can try and be "cool"? They are also giving these students who play them full rides…WE ARE AN ART SCHOOL. The equestrian center is nice but we don't need one. The only reason there is horse back riding is because Paula Wallace's daughter wanted there to be one…Don't get me started on the college president. She attends little to no events held by the school. She and the rest of the school are just interested in your money. My first five emails in my school email account were about giving the school money. You will see why so many freshman don't even return winter quarter. You will take classes that have nothing to do with your major and those professors think they are God's gift to the world. Most pretentious faculty who only teach the students the same thing.

commentAs a employee to SCAD I would like to say that alot of you facts are not correct, anything relating to the Presidents daughter has been a rumor going around forever, and I can guarantee that this is incorrect. Alot of freshmen dont return because the thought of having work is difficult for them and they cant handle it, I am not saying this is you, but in general this happens. Lastly I will say as a freshmen you never understand the importance of the foundations class, but i gaurantee if you ask any of the upperclassmen they will say that they gave them better understanding of art and in turn helped them do better as they went along, I feel seeing that you are a freshmen that it is hard for you to make a solid judgement about a academic program when you have only been there for 3months, I would suggest waiting until the end of your first year, then making your opinion and also including real relevant statistics.
responseObviously you only want people to stay so they can give you more money.
responseTo top it all off, this "employee" spelled "guarantee" wrong.
commentI feel like saying art students can't participate in sports is a very uneduacated opinion. It's very common for students who enjoy music and other subject areas of art to also enjoy sports like football. I personally enjoy swimming and cross-country. The complaint that art students are getting football scholarships and how it is unfair is also bullshit, to be frank. Just because you didn't have the same ability and rigor to learn a sport and obtain a scholarship for a school where you wanted to go doesn't mean you have to condemn the people who put in the time and effort. At that point you sound like a child who's complaining about how Little Tommy got a piece of candy for actually putting in the effort when you clearly didn't even try. Moreover, the statement that "the school only wants you money" is wildly inaccurate. Yes, the school needs your money, but they need it in order to pay the faculty that is responsible for teaching you and keeping the students safe. Complaining about the price of a school is idiotic because I'm sure that if you decided to put in time and research you'd find out that a little thing called scolarahips, government funding, and student loans exist to help students get into college. I hope you try and attempt to put some research in before flaunting you opinion like it's God's holy grail next time. Thank you.
