<p>I looked at SCAD and even attended the open house event and was gonna apply to their program UNTIL I read ww.scad.info which posted several problems at SCAD. Unfortunately the site is down and the info gone. But here's what the site had: (1) several professors at problems with tenure and left the school and had problems with the owners (Rowans) and administration policies; (2) it lists several lawsuit filings with documentation against SCAD; (3) SCAD and Savannah Police Dept "UNDERREPORT" crimes committed against students around the campus. There have been carajckings and muggings in the area; (4) There was a dorm on campus that had environmental issues that caused students to be sick. SCAD covered it up. There was also an incient where a SCAD film student had accidently hung himself for a film scene and died. SCAD never address the issue to the public. So where were the advisors?? </p>
<p>As far as the accreditation thing, wouldn't NASAD rank higher than SACS? SACS is a regional, not national. Though SCAD never applied to NASAD, shouldn't they?? If they wanna run with the big boys like CalArts, shouldn't they apply and get accredited nationally, not regionally??</p>
<p>Also, I personally know of a person that went to SCAD in animation and graduated last year and hasn't found a job yet. So again, I wouldn't apply here.</p>
