As for the merits of SCAD, as my D’s art teacher told her, “Not every school is right for you and you are not right for every school”. Every school has its merits and its downsides and people see them in different ways. What I consider a merit, someone else might consider a downside. It all boils down to what is right for each individual.



This is so true…for every school, not just an art school.

Every school has a personality, a “vibe” if you will, and all things being equal with the quality of education, a student could thrive at one and be miserable at the other.

MICA is often mentioned here as a great school and I’m sure it is…but when my daughter and I visited she just didn’t ‘feel’ it. She couldn’t see herself there in those particular surroundings.

Our visit to SCAD? We were there two hours and she turned to me and said “Mom, I can totally picture myself here!!” She felt a connection, and therefore that’s where she landed.

redbug, I was amazed when I learned of the equestrian program. Even more so when I saw the facility they have; it looks beautiful and students have the ability to board their own horses there.
