<p>Hi!
Parent of an athlete who happens to be gifted in the arts. My daughter is seriously considering SCAD - she is looking into fashion marketing major. The area is very nice and we really liked the buildings that we saw when we went on the tour. I am familiar with the surrounding area and yes I know it is not very dersirable. With that being said I am really looking for some honest answers regarding the school. As her parent, this would not be my first choice for my daughter (even if she did not play a sport) She does have options and is being recruited by DI-DIII institutions but it seems that SCAD is her first choice.</p>
<p>All opinions are appreciated, especially if there are any current athletes that can comment. I have heard that there is a new athletic field in the works that will be located in Savannah. Can anyone confirm that??</p>
<p>Have you decided if you can afford the likely price to your family of SCAD? I know successful fashion students who have graduated from there, but they paid a pretty penny. </p>
<p>Hi and thank you for your response. SCAD gives athletic scholarship money so it will help with finances. My daughter is on recruiting list for SCAD as well. I am hoping to get some feedback from current students and recent grads. I have read such mixed reviews. Even found a facebook page that is dedicated to ripping the school apart. I know every school has good and bad things…</p>
<p>SCAD like any school is going to be what you make of it. There are sites that rate the professors. The reviews might not be the most accurate overall, but every student should make an effort to identify the best faculty and take their courses. There are going to be good and bad professors at every school regardless of reputation. I would always look for the cheapest options for a decent undergraduate program, and then find the best Masters level program possible regardless of $$$. Get all of the liberal arts courses out of the way at a state college too. </p>
<p>Thanks comicdude for your reply. However when you are being recruited for a sport there is no time to take liberal arts courses at another school…</p>
