Moderator Announcement Announcement regarding “Is SCAD worth it?” posts

39 Upvotes

Hi r/scad,

I have to start with an editorial note. Please excuse the “corporate speak” in the post written below, but it’s the only effective way I can get our point across without sounding too harsh. 😭

———————-

Starting today, the mod team will introduce enhanced moderation for all posts relating to “Is SCAD worth it?” This type of post has always been the most popular topic on this subreddit, but we’ve seen an influx in recent months.

We understand (and myself, from a personal standpoint) how important the financial decisions are for college students and their families. There’s lots of decision-making that goes into it, alongside evaluating SCAD’s ROI. However, making posts on this subreddit about the topic, without any context or personal background, is not a high quality post.

So, we will be introducing moderation criteria for these kinds of posts. We will use this framework as a way to gauge whether a post should be approved (or denied.)

  1. Does the post contain enough/relevant background for subredditors react to? (i.e: intended major/minor, debt information, location, cost of living, etc.)

  2. Does the post contain information about the student’s intended outcome or rough goals of attending SCAD?

  3. Does the post contain any prior research, commentary, or discussion?

Just to reiterate; the intention of the goal is not to silence posts or opinions, but to encourage first-time subredditors and future students to put a little bit more effort into the discussion about SCAD’s costs and ROI.

Thanks all for listening,

– Your mod team.

Class Questions Registration Issues

2 Upvotes

Has anyone else struggled with registration? I got into one class! I waitlisted another and had to do a overfill waver. There are only one or two sections of any of my required classes and they are all full or have a time conflict. This happens every single quarter. There has been 2 quarters total (I'm a junior) where I have had all 3 classes of stuff I needed to take. I usually have to take electives that have nothing to do with my major ie. ceramics and fibers. Is this just Game Design or are you guys also dealing with this?

Admissions Direct Admission?

1 Upvotes

Hii im planning to apply to scad for the fall and received direct admission from Niche for scad. I filled out the form scad sent me and a few days later they sent me an email with my scad Id number. Where im confused is that they told me to log into the MyAdmission portal but did not give me any login info. I tried to use the id number which didn’t work. I wanted to know if Im supposed to just make an account and fill out an application or if they’ll send me anything. If I make an account I don’t know if it will still be connected to the direct admission thing.

Housing Sub-Leasing

Hello friends!

I live in Barnard, and I'm looking to stay over winter break. I'm currently trying to get that situated, but I'm afraid they won't make any exceptions.

I was recommended to look into sub-leasing from other Scad students. Does anyone have info on how this works/ are willing to sub-lease over winter break?

Savannah What’s so bad about the Hue?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for an off campus spot next year and the hue doesn’t seem too bad, I’ve been there and it’s not horrible on the inside. But I keep hearing people say it’s bad. Is it livable for a year? The prices are great.

Savannah Overnight guest parking

4 Upvotes

I have an overnight guest with a car staying at Boundary with me this Friday. I have the overnight guest thing approved, and I printed out the visitor parking permit.

However, where can she actually park overnight? How does she get past security at the booth for the dorm parking lots?

I understand that the permit must be displayed in the windshield, but that's all the information I was able to get from the SCAD department page.

TLDR; Can an overnight guest park at Boundary Village? If so, how do they pass security and not get towed?

Class Questions Where are all the Anim 190 classes??

3 Upvotes

I’m a Sophomore Illustration major about to register for classes for winter quarter. I really want to take ANIM 190 (for a number of somewhat complicated reasons). I have enough animation major friends to know that there are tons of sections of that class every quarter, though bc it’s a freshman class I know first years are usually just put into it automatically. When I go to the class schedule search to see winter classes, there are ZERO anim 190 classes visible. I don’t know why they aren’t there, and it’s stressing me out because my registration is in 3 days. They are visible for Spring 2027, but that doesn’t work for me.

Does anyone know if I can register for it myself??

I’m sure I’ll enjoy whatever is shown, it’ll be a while before I attend. I saw that world of brzrkr is at the film festival, given that it’s completely sold out let me know if there’s someone willing to part with a ticket (at cost of course). Or if there’s an opportunity to volunteer. Also, feel free to share what you’re working on

Savannah Hair Stylists in the area?

2 Upvotes

Hii! Looking to bleach part of my hair and was wondering if anyone had a salon rec nearby? Or honestly if anyone here does their own hair I'd be down for someone to dye it! I just don't wanna mess up the back since I'm going half-brown half-blonde and I've got layered hair, so it's not the easiest beginner round😭
