The Savannah College of Art and Design

Excellent design school, definitely get the most from the course of study if you are willing to put in the extra work. When presented with a hard working student each professor would dedicate any extra time necessary to improve that students portfolio, which in our industry is an absolute necessity and is more important than a written resume. My first design job was offered to me explicitly because I came from this school, and I moved up from there.

Education Quality: A+, Perceived Campus Safety: C

SCAD was a life changing experience for me. I found that the more I put in, the more I got out. I can see how some people could have a tough time there because there isn't really much hand holding. If you approach it half-assed you will get a half-assed education and that isn't the school's fault. I don't imagine private schools need to worry about fostering low performing students because everyone pays the same tuition. That said, I think if you are focused, motivated and ready to grow, SCAD has seemingly limitless resources, options and opportunities for you. You have to work for it.

I had a fantastic experience at S.C.A.D. Although I had a few dull professors most were excellent and several were deep lifelong influences. The facilities were very good and the general atmosphere of the school was very positive. I attended at the Savannah campus, the only one at the time, and found the city itself very inspirational for the artist.
