    SCAD is very expensive. I believe that if you take advantage of their many opportunities, you will learn what you paid for. Even then, dorms and meal plans add on to the price. This causes the price to skyrocket even more.

    SCAD is very expensive, with certain fees for housing, dining, and so on rising in price every year. The education and skills gained are valuable and translate well into your future job, but you will likely require hefty scholarships and student loans to attend.

    As a filmmaker in his freshman year, it's a bummer that I don't dive straight into the film stuff until a later date. I can't say if the foundation classes have much impact on me since I haven't done anything artistically since I've taken them. The teachers do say they help later on in life but I'll be the judge of that once the time comes. If you don't draw or design, it may be a pain to sit through but you have to do it to get to the good stuff.

    SCAD, like most other private colleges, isn't very wallet friendly; however, the quality of the programs and the experience one gets from living in Savannah simply makes up for the price. One should not see the school as an expensive school, but as one that supplies unrivaled programs that will prepare students for an incredible career. In fact, 98% of SCAD's students find success in the career field that they pursued, not to mention the portion of the other 2% that still find great careers in different fields.

    SCAD is a little bit on the pricy side for college but, it is worth it. The school has amazing resources and connections. They truly care for the students and you are guaranteed to be employed six months after graduation date. There is a 98% employment, if you are not employed after graduation a career advisor will contact you and find you a job.In some ways SCAD is run like a business, I think this is a good thing in our modern society, students are able to become strong business men and women and have very high standards for themselves. SCAD offers a lot of scholarship, you just need to ask because you will not regret working your but off when you land your dream job.
