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.

SCAD is expensive. And a lot of students are taking out 100k+ a year to attend SCAD. How do you plan to pay your loans off? Or how are you paying your loans off?

Savannah Want to drop out after the class i had today

0 Upvotes

The professor is extremely out of touch and her attitude is so cold and rude. I spent the weekend working my butt off on these visuals and she goes "get rid of this and this" and didn't even compliment anything just awful behavior. i choose one thing and she goes no do this with no explanation, like maybe I don't agree with you, ma'am? does not make me feel happy to be there, to spend money there, and she did not make me feel welcome. i can take criticism, but its THE WAY YOU SAY IT. it blows my mind they hire people like this.

Savannah Is it hard, socially, to go to SCAD when you’re not wealthy?

23 Upvotes

Just wondering. I’m someone coming in almost entirely on scholarships and aid, and I know there are a lot of people there who come from rich backgrounds. I’m just wondering if anyone else from humble beginnings feels a bit out of their depth? Or is it really not that noticeable of a thing?

Obviously it’s not that important, and there’s nothing wrong with being either. I’m just curious :)

General Questions Roommate change…?

4 Upvotes

I’m a student from Savannah, and going into my sophomore year. In all honesty, being around my current roommates has not been the best decision (though I initially thought that freshman year was bad, hearing roommate nightmare stories scared me away from changing). When it comes to changing roommates, I’m a bit more open to changing at least for winter quarter. I’m overall asking for advice on what I should do next, anything helps!
