This small museum attached to SCAD was a nice surprise. It is not overly expensive to get into, the parking garage is well signed to find guest parking, and it has a nice, professionally done, ambience. I saw the Lanvin Haute Couture exhibit that had many pieces from the French designer on display. There was also a showing of Campbell Addy fashion photography that was wonderful. Large prints and many of them. The exhibits rotate so check online to see what is on display when you are planning to go. read more

I loved everything about this event! I literally can not put into words how beautiful the outfits were, and the immersive runway videos were so fabulous. I loved how one of the staff members performed a tour for us too. This event will definitely be the highlight of my year. read more

When looking to place yourself in an atmosphere of creatives, I believe SCAD should be an option you don't slight. This college has three campuses, all unique, yet tied together flawlessly. They seen to focus on helping you, as the creative cultivate and direct your ideas verses giving you an idea and telling you it was yours from beginning. I've visited both campuses in Georgia and there are some specifics you should look for if thinking and dreaming to attend. One, what kind of person are you? Are you into hustle and city life? Are you more creative when you are collaborative in a fast pace type of environment? If so Atlanta might be your favorite campus. Plus it's SCAD's fashion home. Are you normally more creative when left to your own devices? Do you like space and leisure walks throughout the day? More of a "small town"? Type of person? Well, Savannah might just be calling you home. Most heads of the department are here I believe. Don't quote me. The photos here are from the Atlanta campuses museum. Haven't had the chance yet to visit the art museum in Savannah. No matter your choice living and being able to be productive in and environment that is just about being your creative self is more than amazing it's a dream come true. So, if you're about that kind of life don't hesitate to check out this fantastic school. read more

SCAD is a great institution for higher learning. I'm a Film and Television MFA Student in my first quarter. The professors I've worked with are all very knowledgable and have a strong industry-based outlook on the curriculum. They're concerned with standards of the industry workplace and want to ensure students are up to date on their knowledge. One of the best features of having an education at SCAD Atlanta is that they offer career guidance even after you've graduated. There's always the option of returning to the school to network which is amazing. The department is growing quickly and there are tons of opportunities in Atlanta to begin an internship, produce quality work to get your name out there, and establish relationships with leaders in the Atlanta market and abroad. Very impressed with how things are being handled at SCAD Atlanta. I had a few hiccups while applying to school. Lots of red tape between sourcing financial aid and actually having my portfolio approved by admissions. But don't let the long admission process deter you. It's worth it once you're here. read more

I was a student of the fine arts department for two years and it was honestly the worst two years of my life. SCAD doesn't allow students the time they need to turn out quality work nor do they provide any decent resources for when the work starts to wear you down emotionally. I walked down to CS3 (student support services) one afternoon well before anyone was leaving for the day because I was downright suicidal and I was turned away from the counselors office with her stating that if I didn't have an appointment I had to call security and ask to speak to the on call counselor. This was after me looking the woman in the eyes and telling her I was contemplating suicide. I had to live in a dorm with black mold for my first year at SCAD. I regret ever committing myself to this school and as of spring 2020 I've informed them of my intention to transfer. I tried my very best to make the most out of every opportunity while I was at SCAD but whenever I needed help or was struggling or needed guidance I had to jump through a million hoops and run on a thousand wild goose chases to get to the resources I needed. If you're in the fine arts program, career advising is a joke. I've only ever received one alert of a job even barely pertaining to my major and it was to teach summer camp for third graders. They don't give information about gallery openings, curatorial opportunities, artist residencies, or studio jobs but absolutely cater to the other majors such as graphic design and film. Even if you want to go into communication arts (graphic, illustration, animation, etc) I recommend taking your money almost literally anywhere else. SCAD barely gives out financial aid and even if you're a victim of extenuating circumstances if you drop below a certain GPA all financial aid will be revoked. I asked multiple times about a supposed appeal process for this and was never given any answers. Advisers are over-worked and under-informed. Student work regularly gets censored by professors, administrators, and even the president of the school. If your work doesn't fit into the well defined box of what the school board finds pleasing you will never get an opportunity to show it outside of class critique despite the schools many open houses and media festivals. SCAD accepts almost everyone and freshman year is designed to make people drop out. The amount of work you do in foundation studies is so incredibly disproportionate to what you do in your major classes. I had to do double the amount of projects in foundation studies than I did in any of my major classes. For a 10 week period of time it's an insane amount of work. Some teachers absolutely refused to provide any sort of help or extra assistance in understanding to the point of me having to file for accommodations. I could go on and on about how student concerns get "heard" but ultimately silenced but I think I've said all I can. Please consider looking into schools other than this one. There are so many incredible art schools around the world that are so much better than scad. All in all it was a waste of almost $100,000 and I only got to sophomore year. SCAD does not care about the lives or careers or futures of its students. It only cares about the money they bring in. I'm not the only person that any of these things happened to. People will say that you get out what you put into this place but I put in everything I had, every spare moment, every dollar, every day and I still ended up leaving because I was not getting anything out of it. At SCAD the students have a little saying "Sleep Comes After Death." That should tell you all you need to know. read more

What a wonderful place to visit! Special thank you to Brandon for helping us with our visit and pointing us to the fashion exhibits. Couldn't have done it without him. read more

Worst college campus food in the South. Mold n rotten fruit daily. Food never hot. Dried out food.

My experience at SCAD was an experience like no other. The people you meet, the professors you connect with, and the lessons you learn are lessons that will carry out through your entire life. I got my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design at SCAD, and I would recommend it to anyone else that's seeking a similar career path. Although the Graphic Design chair, Henry, has left to move on to bigger and better things, the department is still full of wonderful professors. The courses are rigorous and demand a lot out of you, especially your time. If you're not willing to put in the effort, you may want to reconsider what you want to do. Wasting your own time will equal out to wasting someone else's. The campus offers an open learning environment, full of opportunities to collaborate and communicate. The space is full of bright colors and students' artworks to keep you motivated and inspired. Although the tuition is pretty high, you won't get an education like this anywhere else. The professors genuinely care about you if you genuinely care about their class. They look out for your well-being and take the time to get to know you on a personal level. Even the dean, Art Malloy, takes time to connect with you if you make your way over to him. I repeat, you won't get an experience like this ever anywhere else. With the recent development of SCAD Fash and the SCAD Pad, other departments are gaining more fame. Be sure to take your time to make your way up to these spaces, they're beautifully designed. Life at SCAD can get crazy, but without a little bit of crazy... life would not be as interesting. read more

I am a current student at the Atlanta campus. Where do I start?? I am in the Film and TV Production Department and we don't even have a department head and haven't had one for some time. Does that tell you anything? You have one "academic advisor" for our department that does nothing but berate and belittle you. Nothing is organized or works as it should and its never their fault. The administration always finds a way to put it back on us students. Many of us are looking to go to another campus or simply another school if things don't change. They do have some good professors but make sure you get a rubric for all your classes so that you can see how you are graded. True you have many industry professionals that teach us and they are pretty good but the lack of support and the crappy attitude of the advisor and the school dean make you think twice. read more

I find it funny how the people on yelp are leaving 1-2 stars, yet the school has top ranks nationally and nearly 5 stars on FB. Yes SCAD is expensive, but that is because it is a private school that is worth the cost! No one made you attend the school! I love this school and I could not be happier with my experience here. read more
