Savannah College of Art and Design Top Questions

More about artist and art movements to explore them deeper.

The academic advising department is not as prepared as they should be to properly aid the students in following the correct career path. Also, many of the teachers are very bias and grade on how much they like a piece and its style, rather than the quality of work or how well the guidelines have been met. It tends to be really tough to do well in a class with a professor who's artistic style and method is very much unlike your own.

I wish I would have known to take more AP classes in high school, because those credits help you to be able to graduate sooner and/or get a better time ticket for registration.

I wish I had known how time consuming school was going to be. Many think that art school is a breeze, but that certainly isn't the case at SCAD. In order to master your artistic skill and truely learn one's field takes a lot of commitment.

I wish I had known that the Atlanta campus financial aid was not as organized and helpful as the office on the Savannah campus. Also wish I knew how much materials were going to cost before hand as they dont talk about any of that. WIsh there were sports on this campus also since the Savannah campus is really developed and has EVERYTHING but this campus only offeres the education.

I wish I had realized how much I should have invested in getting scholarships, especially since now that I'm out I have so much debt to repay. Also, you will need money for art supplies or computer supplies outside of just tuition so take it into account.

I wish I had submitted a portfolio. I also wish I had better understood the work load and extracurricular opportunities exclusively available to freshmen.

The art world is very difficult to succeed in. It may be a little cliche, but if you aren't willing to put forth the full 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} effort, you aren't going to do well. A lot of freshman drop out early on because they don't realize just how much work it actually is to be in art school.

I wish I knew about more scholarships prior to attending school.

I would have liked to have known more about the processes of scheduling classes. I have run into many problems each quarter.
