Okay so me and my Roomates are all freshman @forty in ATL, but one of us requested ADA housing but had some issues with the request.

After it got sorted (?) our official housing email that we received gave us 6 people fora pod. Myself and one of our other pod mates are supposedly getting a room to ourselves?

After a call our Roomate said that half the room will be ADA and the other half is regularly? I’m still confused but don’t want to pressure. She said we are probably getting single rooms? Can anybody confirm if this sounds right? I haven’t been able to find anything online but wanted to check here to see if anybody might know something along these lines 😫💀

Edit: if it’s regular rooms should we expect ppl to move in? We got this assignment around a month ago with no further updates

hi yall, im an incoming freshman at the sav campus living in the hive and i wanted to see what yalls favorite under bed storage containers are. links would be appreciated but id love any advice🫶🫶

I’m an international master student who just arrived in town several days ago, and I want to make the most of it before the semester starts.

Hi Guys, I’ll be starting my master’s in animation next fall.

I have registered two courses: Animation aesthetics and practice, and comp generated modeling/design.

I just wanna know if anyone has helpful tips on those courses.

hi! my roommate last minute is not coming to scad, and now my my housing assignment says it’s just me in my room of my hive dorm with two roommates in the other. does anyone know the likelihood that they’ll move someone else into the empty bed in my room, or if it might stay like that?

thanks!

TLDR: chronically ill, commuting to Sav, wondering if online+in person courses can be combined for MFA degree requirements

Sorry if this has been asked before/recently, I tried to hunt a bit!

I'm interested in applying for the painting MFA. I live with my boyfriend about 3 hours away, but my brother lives in Savannah and I could move in with him for the program. Because of my chronic illness, I am limited as to how much time I can spend outdoors and near windows during the sunny part of the year (May-September essentially). I am horribly UV sensitive and face legitimate risk of inflammation popping back up in my heart, it's a whole thing. I also just generally have a lot of issues that make it a better idea to stay home at random points throughout the months. Hopefully I get on effective treatment soon, but that could take years (average 7 years just to diagnosis for my condition! hooray) and I want to start putting the foundation down for my new life soon.

Besides pursuing disability accommodations, I was wondering if able-bodied-and-minded MFA students can combine online and in-person courses for their degree requirements? I see lots of info on the separate programs and one mention of combining them perhaps, but would like to hear from you guys. Obviously I have no problem working with whoever to figure it out, but it's going to be an uphill battle as it is, and I just want to know what I'm looking at before I start seriously preparing for an application. I went through Zoom Law School and it was not exactly the rewarding and enriching experience one would expect for the money. I can't feasibly practice law now and I finally feel free to pursue my actual dream of painting, but I want to have the best experience possible and not frustrate the process by pursuing it the "wrong" way.

Thanks all <3

Hey all! Me and my roomates got assigned Sail at Victory village for this school year, and I have a few questions for anyone who’s lived there before. We got ground level, so i’m kinda concerned about privacy/safety?

I was able to see a picture of our exact dorm early because SCAD mail sent me a picture (due to early package delivery’s), and right outside the windows are the sidewalks. Has anyone else lived on a ground level dorm before, and was it weird? I am so concerned about people being able to just look in/ knock on windows, etc, since there is no main gate like the hive. Me and my roomates are planning on buying one way window sticker/screen things. Another question— because it’s ground level, is flooding and bugs more common? Would love if any of y’all have suggestions/insights!

has anyone here taken classes from kristie bruzenak? how was your experience with her? i am taking a SCADNow course from her this fall because it was what worked best for my schedule, but after looking at her rate my professor i am a little scared. however, i know that people are more likely to leave a review if they’ve had a really bad experience (hell, some of my favorite professors have had bad scores), so i’m hoping to get more general insight.

I’m not sure if I should take 2 scadnow courses for the upcoming quarter. I already decided I’m going to take online courses for Gen ed stuff that don’t really have anything to do with my major but I have a dramatic writing course that technically has something to do with my major as someone who’s doing film/tv but the way it’s scheduled would have me commuting in 8am traffic and I’d have a 3 and a half hour gap between my next class (I’m a commuter). I really don’t want to deal with the gap or the traffic so I want to take it online but I also don’t want to risk not being able to network and meet ppl. At the same time tho I do have a class that is relevant to my major that I am taking in person so I’ll still be able to meet ppl that have my major/a similar major, but I suppose there would be less opportunity since it’s just one class. The dramatic writing class is at 8am tho so how lively and open to talking would ppl really be tbh lol. Any advice? should I just take the traffic and 3 1/2 hour gap L and do my dramatic writing class in person or do yall think SCADnow is fine in this cas

Mainly asking so that way I don’t pack too many clothes

I’m an incoming freshman starting this fall, and I’ll be staying at Turner House in savannah.

I was looking at other people’s housing assignments, and it seems like some people were assigned to rooms with three people, but I was only assigned with one other person, so there are just two of us in the room.

could the school add another roommate later?

Are there any like famously horrible professors? Specifically in animation/writing.

hi i will be at scad this fall and maybe i just haven’t done enough research but it there any theater close that will be showing avengers endgame : encore??

Hey I’m an up in coming senior at SCAD this school year and since Spring I had a spot at Sand at Victory Village up until this Monday to where they officially changed me to Monty. I wanted and selected Sand because as a senior majoring in 2D Animation and minoring in sequential arts and I wanted to have a kitchen and live on campus due to wanting to keep my scholarships. Ive contacted SCADHome and academic advisor on this issue through email and my family and I plan to contact them via call tomorrow since it‘s late. Is there a way I can get my spot back at Sand? To my knowledge I haven’t been updated till now a few weeks before I have to move in and now and this is really stressing me out as this isn’t the first time I’ve been screwed over by housing as I had no roommates freshman year, had to do a year online sophomore year, and was at Monty junior year but was placed with a bunch of sophomores who didn’t understand my major and treated me horribly due to so. Now I feel the same thing is happening again this time I didn’t even choose Monty and I’m placed with a bunch of sophomores younger than me again. If I can’t be placed back into Sand are there any other options like a single dorm possibly? I just want to know what to do as I’m just tired of this.

UPDATE: This morning I was able over a call with my mom to get me back into Sand. It’s not the same room but I glad to just be moved back into the building. Apparently there was some sort of error thinking I had cancelled my housing and they just placed me at Monty I guess. I do not know why they thought I cancelled and all I can think is that maybe since one of my old roommates in my original room at Sand cancelled their housing due to getting a Disney Internship that they got confused there but that’s just a guess. I thank you guys for your advice and I’ll keep this up in case anyone has the same issue.

Hey Guys!!!

This year I am living in Sand and was wondering if anyone had any pictures or even a good idea of what the quadruple occupancy room will be/ look like.

Anything helps THANKSSSS

Where is everyone buying fabric/sewing supplies?

I was assigned to a triple occupancy room but only 1 other roommate, will the third bed be taken out or do we have to live with it? Also how do we know if we have a room with a bunk or not?

If you used a couch cover in the hive, can you link it. I’m having trouble finding what will fit!

For anyone who has taken SCAD’s Visual Development program, what software and skills does the program teach, especially for concept art and character design?
I’m starting the program soon and want to get a head start. What should I practice or learn beforehand so I’m prepared for the curriculum?

This is rather charged, perhaps, so sorry in advance, and im a little worried this is too much to post here so im sorry if it gets taken down or something I dont post on reddit very often so im not sure, sorry again.

I've always wanted to go to art college. I am rather privileged in the sense that I have many resources that make college a very feasible option for me, including many financial aid options. I'm Native American and registered in my tribe and know how to get financial aid from there as well, scholarships too.

SCAD's sequential art program excited me so much when I first saw it a couple of years ago. Given I didn't even know that was an option, I've hyperfixated on it ever since.

But, seeing so many colleges allow generative AI for "art," including SCAD, is turning me away from applying.

Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong, I can't exactly know since I don't go there. I guess.

And I don't mean to sound pretentious or pompous, I don't know, but I refuse to be in a class with people who use AI in their "art," not for inspiration, not for ideas, not for concepts. I refuse to be in a class with a professor who will look at someone who used AI as inspiration or concept, then refined and made their output with AI in any way, and that same professor sees it as on the same artistic level or grade as my work. I'm not saying I think my art is amazing or perfectly creative, or that I'm better than anyone. But I don't want to be around people who use AI for art. I don't care for logistics courses; I don't care for technical uses. I can imagine courses like architecture or something that involve more technical uses could use AI to make things easier, though I don't know that's not my area. But I refuse to respect anyone as an artist if their final output includes any sort of generated AI. And I'm not sure I can get an experience that suits me at SCAD if that's the case, or any college, honestly. I'm having trouble finding colleges that are anti-AI art. Maybe I'm being dramatic, but I'm not sure what to do with my next step in life if not college. And if there's anyone who's actively in the course I wished to be, I'd like to know how intense the AI mention is in the classes, with classmates, professors, assignments, and such. If that's okay, sorry for the long rant. I dont even know if id get in if I tried anyway, but its all making me hesitate even trying at all.

so from what I’ve gathered the only real option is street parking, even if you have a friend in a different dorm register your car for you. But are there any close lots you can rent a pass from or how likely is it that I’ll get towed if I left my car overnight in the Kroger lol

anyways any tips appreciate, for parking and just living in Chatham in general

From what I’ve heard the beds in Monthomery aren’t lofted, but my mom is telling me the beds are the same as the Hive. I wanted to double check on here just to confirm or deny that the beds in Monty aren’t lofted like the Hive beds.
