Savannah College of Art and Design Top Questions

The most amazing thing about my school is it's diversity of ideas and people. It's as if having a community of artists has provided us the oppourtunity to learn and grow off of eachothers ideas... we fuel eachother to do more, be better, get better. There are endless resources provided you take advantage of them, and endless points of connection with those around you. Thats another amazing thing, the comradery of SCAD's students. Some say SCAD is an acronym for Sleep Comes After Death. I say it's Success Comes After Determination.

Savannah College of Art & Design is extremely focused on creativity and inspired design. There is a strong emphasis on self expression and exposure to different cultures and ideas. Inspiration and creativity is stimulated through many different activities, in different settings, and in groups or individually. SCAD strongly encourages sustainable design, as well as research based, or educated design. Taking advantage of all that is available through the many different sources is heavily suggested.

The school is completely art based. It has a deep focus in art that or college with art majors don't have. You don't have to take extra classes like philosophy and chemistry. You can focus on your major.

The best thing about my school is the environment. It is very friendly and everyone is always supportive, whether it is the staff or students. I am glad that I am able to learn at such a great school. The classes a very small, the biggest class being 30 students in our lecture classes. In our studio classes we only have between 10-15 students per class. This is my dream school and I am happy that I am attending it.

Surrounded with like-minded individuals portrays an orgy of the mind. Conversations with artistic people presents another realm and is fascinating to share because we all understand each other. The level of competiveness is low which is great because it allows us to connect with each other on projects. Sharing ideas as to how to implement a certain material is the common recipe for an in-class discussion. With many influential sources available it is difficult to feel stagnate for creative ideas. A great atmosphere for any area of study especially when considering the vast support system that is communal.

What I love about my college is how diverse and accepting it is. In my years here I have developed friendships with a wide gamut of people, and I think the diversity really united us to work together and create strong work.

It's a great school because personal culture and identity is fully encouraged. New, fresh ideas is what students are celebrated for. Its a great place to learn about the thngs you like and how you can bring into your work your own personal touch. Its about knowing what there is to know about what you like and with that knowledge, creating work that is unique, interesting and exciting. There is no such thing as one right way to approach projects but a refreshing system where your ideas are important.

My school is very diverse and it helps students to be open to new ideas and what not. There is no "wrong way" to do something or dress. Everyone is very excepting here. It is also that way in the classroom. Professors here are very open to you and your creativity, so here at SCAD you can honestly be who are no matter what!

The best thing about the school is the networking between students and professors. Most classes are moderately small, 15-20, and provide many opportunities for one-on-one face time with the professors. Extra help is abundant. It's easy to get to know other students as well, and learn from them, as well as from the professors. Also, many professors will direct questions to a professor with more qualified knowlege, so you essentially learn from multiple teachers.
