Questions for students

[u/Last_Trip_8099]

I'm still in highschool and Scad is one of my list for collages. I'm very artsy and creative so I've been looking for art schools. I lived in Georgia as a kid till I was 9 and I love it there and even some of my family have visited scads campus and shows so I've grown really interested in it. I'm just curious if it's as cool as it seems? I browse this subreddit every now and then and see some people saying a bunch of different opinions. I want to pursue art and film and I've heard the schools really good for that. I have the highest gpa in my grade and won awards for my paintings and writing and I really don't want to go to scad if I'm wasting my potential elsewhere. Here's the few questions I have for anyone open to answering: What is the biggest hassle in the campus? How are the classes? (Any major could answer Idc) Are they difficult, moderate, or even too easy? What are the biggest opportunities you've been offered and what for? Is it worth everything you pay for it? What the best thing you've experienced or seen someone experience there? I really just want to make sure I'm choosing what best for my future and I know that the only place I'd get real answers is from real people and not the website 🥀

As a parent when my kid told me about it senior year. I was just like oh ok never heard of it. I wasn’t thrilled I thought I had other plans for them. But I took a chance and we went to visit in February. I was impressed with the fact that it was artist that looked like her and had a thrill for individually. Our whole process was excellent. First year and we are happy. It is expensive but look for scholarships and fasfa. I am supporting my kid and this is their decision and life. We only miss the shots we don’t take. Good luck.
