r/scad

do you guys have any crazy storytimes from last year to honor the new school year I’m curious!!

I attended this year’s Rising Star program (Sav) and I really enjoyed it. I felt like the coursework wasn’t as bad as a lot of people said it would’ve been, and despite not getting Fridays off, it still gave me a lot of free time to explore Savannah and make friends.

I want to attend SCAD next year, but I’m wondering if it’s very different from how Rising Star was. Can anyone who attended Rising Star and is now a full time student share their experience?

does anyone have a link to any overage desk storage shelves that fit the scad desks? everyone seems to have one but i cant seem to find any haha

Pretty much my question. Not much too it. I was just told that I would receive it towards the end of July/ start of August but still haven’t seen anything in my email. Any other freshman with info?

Hi everyone, hoping to get some insights! I’m an international student who had my visa interview yesterday and got approved today. My concern is that my current job requires the standard 30-day resignation notice period here in my home country. I held off on resigning earlier because I didn't want to risk losing my job while my visa was still uncertain.

Realistically, this means I'd miss about a week of classes and start in the 3rd week of September instead. Would that set me back? Should I reach out to SCAD to ask about joining remotely for that first week (if thats even possible) or is there another way to handle a late start? I'm also on a scholarship, so I really want to make sure this doesn't affect my grades or standing. Any advice would help thank you!!

Additional notes
- I’m an incoming student taking up MA in GDVX
- I currently work for a unicorn tech company, and this is my first real job out of college so idk how resignation works 😅

Edit: Thank you all so much for the advice!!! I appreciate your insights and will definitely prioritize arriving in time for the first week of class

Okay, I'm gonna be in SCAD in a few weeks, gonna be majoring in animation, but a large part of me really, really wants to tackle a mixture between writting (already planning a minor in dramatic writting), as well as game design and heck even wanting to do music (in the past I kinda didn't had patience between the piano or guitar, so I don't know if I should tackle music)

So I wanna hear general advice in terms of juggling with these ideas for my college

I completely understand the advice to start at a community college to knock out gen ed as a way to save some cash, but I’m interested in the college experience as a whole to get a full on four year experience.

Anything you loved about starting as a freshman? Anything you hated about starting as a freshman?

So i sent in my accommodations late for a single and I know there’s supposedly “no housing” so now I’m on a waiting list.
I was wondering If anyone could tell me just how fucked am I?

I’m hoping some freshman at forty eight will realize SCAD isn’t for them and give me their room… but how horrible is that and what are the chances of that actually happening 😭

I’m an incoming freshman with Business 110 as my lecture class for the fall quarter, is it really lecturing for 2.5 hours? 😅 I know there’s a break in between but 2.5 hours is a long time for lectures 😀

Hi everyone! I'm sorry if my English is sloppy but does anyone know when we can start ordering things from Amazon? I was a Freshman last year and they brought everything you order straight to your room, I wonder if they will do the same thing or do we have to get them from the lockers/mail center?

Is there a paranormal club at SCAD Savannah? I can’t find one on the website... Thinking it would be cool to visit different haunted locations for tours and investigations with other students, could also make time to sketch or photograph at those places too. Anyone know if this is already a thing?

i’m curious if anyone knows if there will be a dining hall at 48/what it will be like? i’m moving into boundary and i was just nosy.

So I graduated high school in 2018, I had been wanting to apply to SCAD since I looked deeper into it so I did! I applied July1st. Im hoping to get accepted into the fashion program. I been using Kahn Academy to help me get myself back on track with school where I left off. But are there any other things I should look into to prepare myself?
My application is currently under review and I hoping and praying that I get accepted ! I had to send an explanation letter about my gpa as well so that kinda has me worried! I hope I get a response before September 14 because that’s when classes start, so what do you think? About waiting to start school and any tips?

I'm a design student who finished my first year and is planning on transferring to SCAD for either Film and Tv or production design. I'd really love to hear from people who are studying or have graduated from either of these programs.

I have a few question like

• What is the coursework actually like?
• What does a typical week look like?
• How much collaboration is there with other students, especially film/TV students?
• What kinds of careers do graduates usually go into?
• How different is Production Design from Film & Television in terms of what you do?
• And how i should chose between the 2 options?

hello, im a upcoming freshman for the fall 2026 term. I applied to scad really last minute and only got my acceptance result 5 days ago. I'm currently in a race against time to get everything completed and paid for.

One problem is that I only had the option to fill out my housing application after the deadline had already passed.

On-campus housing is the only option for me as my parents refuse to let me do off-campus housing (nor do I even have the money right now to afford off-campus housing.

What I'm trying to get at is: is it over?? scad is my dream school and I really want to go but I don't think it's possible. I've already called and emailed scadhome explaining my situation but please please please give any advice you have.
