I just started looking at animation schools again because earlier this week i went to SCAD and realized that i really wasn't overly impressed with what I saw there. It was simply ok and i mean that so much. If any of you really had the chance to get to know me you would know that I have fantasized so many times about going to SCAD and I just knew that it was the absolute best school for me but now I am open to new ideas and am really open to another college.
SCAD is merely okay to me now. It's fine if I don't get accepted anywhere else, if they accept me. I mean there are just too many different problems with it. First off there is the ridiculous amount that you pay for the tuition 41,000 plus and it goes up every year. how do they expect someone like me to make that much money? Lets really be serious about this one for a moment. Then there is the fact that the school is spread out between the CITY of Savannah. It's not a foreign idea to me because I live around school like that, Washington D.C. area, so I'm use to seeing school like that but i had just expected the campus feel at SCAD. Lets not forget to mention that my building and "possible" dorm room are going to be about a mile away from most of the other buildings for SCAD. I say possible rooms because apparently there is a waiting list that is as long as the Nile river. So not only am I in no mans land I am more than likely going to have to find an apartment to pay for along with the sky high tuition. Great. Then lets also not forget to mention that Savannah is a historic city. Isn't that wonderful. that means that all of the buldings look like something out off the 1800's. So they have that....old" feel to them. ewww. Then apparently the school is located in one of the most crime ridden areas of Savannah. Oh and by the way alll of the buildings except maybe three are all restored buildings. What that means is that they went around and bought old abandoned buildings and renovated them like old churches, jails and stuff like that. I know renovating the inside can work wonders but they aren't allowed to change anything on the outside of the buildings so they can still look historic. Me personally I like modern things so that too just made me shake my head at the school. *cries*
One the plus side though SCAD has really up to date technology and many guest speakers if that helps.
I am just so out done with them but if push comes to shove....you know i on't even think that i would go if i could........... man. I must have really learned some stuff by going there.
...hmm. A word of advice to everyone make sure you do a campus tour before you decide to attend a college.
