I'm a sophomore at SCAD.BrightUndecided
I'm a sophomore at SCAD.
SCAD was my number one choice and I was coming in as a freshman intending to study Production Design, with a concentration in costume.

I loved my first quarter and enjoyed all of my foundation classes, but was disappointed with the first course in my major.

I decided to try out Film and Television, and decided that my parents don't need to pay 35,000 dollars a year for me to work my ass off so I can hold a 2 million dollar camera.

I'm still attending but I am in the process of transferring elsewhere.
I've loved most of my professors and have no regrets because I've made great friends but have also come across plenty of assholes and bitches.

The rest of the staff takes lunch breaks from 10-3.
SCAD really focuses on certain majors and certain genders, so watch out.The food is terrible, I was sick the whole Fall Quarter. Drinking blood is a far superior option to the "food" provided at SCAD.

Question
SCAD has many redeeming qualities, though there's aBrightFine Arts - Painting/Sculpture/Photography/etc
SCAD has many redeeming qualities, though there's a lot to be said negatively about it. The transportation system gets worse every quarter due to the constant influx of new students, and they don't plan well for that either. The city is dangerous, and I don't like leaving my room alone at night for much of anything.But in the end, it does have a reputation, and it's coming from somewhere, am I right? I am both enjoying my courses and being challenged by them, and I've yet to even get into my major classes (Illustration). Personally, I like the people here, most of them are quite friendly and willing to help.
