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.

Savannah Overnight guest parking

2 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?

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😭

Housing Incoming SCAD grad student (Winter 2027). How do housing contracts & building selections work?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Incoming international grad student for GDVX starting at SCAD in Winter 2027.

My family and I are finalizing our housing plans and had a few quick questions about SCADhome policies:

  1. Housing Contract End Date: Since I start in Winter 2027, does the housing contract end at the end of Spring 2027, or is every contract strictly 9 months regardless of start quarter?
  2. Summer Stay: If I don't take classes during Summer 2027, can I still stay in on-campus housing?
  3. Building Selection: Can grad students request a specific residence hall (like FORTY or Forty-Five), or are assignments strictly school-assigned?

Would appreciate any insights or past experiences. Thanks in advance!

Any GDVX fellows here? Love to connect with you before the semester start too!

Hello, I am a fashion major. I am about to start taking classes that deal with my major. I was wondering what laptop would work best for my needs?

I want a computer that can run 3d modeling programs. I do have a MacBook Air from 2025, but it is a basic model that doesn’t run well with those programs (what I was told) . I would also love to be able to use it for some games as well.
