I'm
currently studying Fashion Marketing & Management at SCAD. The Program
is fairly new, but that is no excuse to SCAD,
which does have the money and contacts to hire INCREDIBLE
professors. I dislike most of my professors in my major.
Most of them are very short-sided on the fashion industry.
They have their specializations, and what aesthetics they like and
are not open-minded to much else. I know that is
a problem amongst professors at all art colleges, but based
on whether a professor likes your aesthetic and you are
not, can really be the deciding factor between a good
grade, or a completely failing grade in this department.
If
you are looking at studying Fashion Marketing and Management here,
you also won't get into any of the classes you
need to, and your department chair will not care either.
Most of my friends that are also share this major
with me are transferring out. I'd say the returning rate
for this major is less than 40%, that's how truly
messed up it is.
Savannah is also an extremely
crime ridden city. If you send your kid here they
aren't going to always be in the nice rich downtown
Broughton area. They are going to be going to academic
halls in the ghetto parts of town, like “car wash”
fronts that are actually crack trade businesses. So if you
send your kid here, arm them with two major forms
of self-protection, because the security here is horrible too.
There
have been mutiple nights where i've had nightmares about all
the crack heads wandering into our halls since they've cut
down on hall security guards..
