Savannah College of Art and Design

Terrible. Firstly, the disability resources head, Ms. Rabold is truly the worst. So unhelpful, despite letters from the doctors office, the school will push it aside and infringe on privacy by asking to disclose extremely personal health information which is a HIPAA violation. Secondly, SCAD Savannah is in violation of building accessibility laws. They provide no way of making it to classrooms for those with mobility concerns and then will gladly mark students absent for being unable to make it to class, with an “I’m sorry that happened to you.” Being harassed by a Dean of a department for having disabilities was the last straw. Thirdly, the professors in the Savannah campus are truly spiteful. They have no respect for students, their work and lack basic knowledge of how to provide critique. Ethnic harassment and racism are rampant within the college as well as in Savannah. The employee health is terrible and it shows. SCAD needs to do a better job fulfilling their CSR. The amount of gentrification this college has caused and the detriment to the community despite putting Savannah on the map is awful. Good go for making education elitist and unnecessarily expensive.

I've been to a public community college, as well as a public 4-year university prior to attending here online. This has been by far the WORST experience I have ever had trying to pursue my education. I had been accepted during the add/drop week, and the financial aid office told me to "wait" till after the add/drop period to see my balance go down. It never happened, and I was stuck in an insanely expensive quarter. I had accepted my lost, finished and passed the quarter, and began to work on paying what I owed. I set up a payment plan and was in contact with the supervisor over collections. I followed up, asking for help as the online payment system was NOT working, to never receive a response. My bill got sent to collections with a fee despite my good faith and having contacted all I could. I followed up multiple times till I finally got a response (Juliette Denmark), got the fee removed from collections, and eventually got them to stop reporting to credit agencies. I had to follow up with her multiple times to even get a response however, even going through the presidents office. I will never suggest SCAD, I will never attend here again, and I am thoroughly disappointed that a school wish such a high-regarded name, could perform like this. Not to mention, during my quarter AI was heavily used as a teaching component. A majority of my peers, including myself, mentioned how uncomfortable we were using mandatory AI for assignments in a college of art and design. Don't go here.

Don’t waste your time at this college — it’s a waste of money, especially in the architecture faculty. The professors are not objective and show favoritism, there’s a lack of empathy.

When I called, the representative I spoke with was exceptionally courteous and professional, which I truly appreciated. However, our experience with the advisor has been quite disappointing. He scheduled a Zoom meeting, but this is now the second time he has failed to attend, leaving my daughter waiting alone in the meeting. This lack of follow-through is unacceptable and reflects poorly on the level of service we were expecting.

a graduate from here and its the best place, if one really knows how to take advantages of the services offered, just hoped they didnt shut down the hong kong campus, one of the best places anyone would be at

Scad is allegedly and IMO a scam. I unfortunately wasted 3 years of my life there and countless dollars. Get a masterclass membership (it’s like 160$ a year or something) and you will learn much more for WAY LESS and from more notorious teachers. Scad offers “therapy” sessions for students, but it’s really just a way for them to see if you’re thinking of leaving the school and not giving them anymore money. They also keep a record of what you come to speak about in your “therapy” session and all the staff who work there (in the therapy office at least) can read your chart and see what you told the “therapist”. I also needed SCAD’s medical urgent care once as I had the flu or something and they made me wait for over an hour in the patient room, no doctor ever came to speak with me so I walked out and they had the audacity to ask me to pay for my visit even though they had done NOTHING but just stick me in a room. If all that isn’t enough, you have to walk everywhere, there’s no parking. Half the professors are weird egotistical jerks. The idea that it’s a top school is allegedly a marketing ploy, they let in something like 85% of people who apply, if you can take out the loans to go there, they will 100% let you in (allegedly). IN MOST CASES YOU DO NOT NEED AN ART DEGREE (or at least not one this expensive) please thoroughly consider other options before choosing this school. I can say without a doubt that my time at scad was the WORST time I’ve ever experienced (I obviously have a negative bias because of my experience, ofc trust your gut and your own judgement though) but if I could go back in time I would never even apply. I can’t tell you how amazing it is to leave this review from my perspective, I hope this can be a warning for someone and I hope you make better decisions than I did!

I’m an alumni from SCAD, the professors here literally helped me get my first contacts in the art industry that lead to my full time work in my dream job! Now SCAD has their CAS (Career and Alumni Success) office that has a large full time staff whose job is to help students and alumni find full time work. Most schools DO NOT have this resource!!! If alumni are complaining about scad not supporting them, they are not being proactive in using this ANAZING resource. On top of that SCAD hires professionals as their professors. Who can teach from years of experience. The 1 star reviews are from students who didn’t apply themselves or didn’t take advantage of the many resources you get for what you are paying for.
