TIPS FOR EVERY SCAD FRESHMAN

- HEY! MORE Q+A BELOW!
******************
Here are some more questions I didn't answer in the video:
1. How do I make friends if I didn't go to Summer Swarm?
For those of you who may not know, Summer Swarm is basically a week in the summer where future freshmen go to essentially pay for friends. I went, it was a total blast, but here's the thing! I am only sort of friends with one girl from all the people I met then, I lost touch with everyone else. Sure it was a nice pre-preorienation, but as far as friend making, it wasn't the best way to go about it. Try to connect with people in your classes, The Hive, on the busses, seriously anywhere. The best part of freshman year is that everyone is in the same boat, all looking for friends, feeling just as awkward as you are! Don't be afraid to reach out to people and also DON'T fear friendships that come and go, because they will. Like I said, I'm only really friends with one girl from Swarm, and from freshman year? Hardly anyone. Friends come and go, don't worry, you'll find your people it just takes time! :-)
2. What's the best way to get around Savannah?
Walking is easy, bussing is easier (you can take the bus to a bunch of academic buildings and then walk to other destinations from there), but biking is easiest. I highly recommend getting a bike. Don't be afraid of Savannah drivers! They're old and slow, just wear a helmet!
3. Where is it safe in Savannah to explore?
Okay well first of all... don't be dumb. Don't walk alone at night, travel in packs (esp. girls) ((i'm rolling my eyes too, but it's true)) Don't walk through Yamacraw Village at night (google maps it) and don't walk past 38th or Broad St. Downtown is safe, Forsyth is safe (daylight hours) and around other academic buildings are typically safe (not really Montgomery Hall though)
4. Is it true that upperclassmen don't like freshmen?
Only when you act entitled like you run the place. But don't listen to them, just prove that you ARE passionate about your work, stay active in the community and show that you're not just another snobby rich kid who shops at Civvies and thinks that makes you the sh*t
5. What if I have terrible roommates?!
Okay first off, you're not alone, I did too and most people will have at least some kind of problems. Tbh my favorite thing is scrolling through instagram following y'all seeing a pic of you and your future roomie saying "omg can't wait to live w my bestie! Love you!" like okay good luck, that's not goiNg tO LAST! It's true sadly, living with strangers brings out the worst :')
As far as any advice on that, just make sure you establish a safe space for yourself outside of the dorm. Somewhere you can go to have time alone if things go south. Don't get super attached to your roommates, if you ARE friends that's great! Just make sure to branch out and make other friends too, having support from a whole other group is SO important, I cannot stress this enough y'all.
6. What is the key to foundation classes?
STOP WORRYING ABOUT THEM! Yes they can be a lot of work. Yes even if you are crap at drawing you will have to draw, but to be completely honest, all of the professors grade you on YOUR skill, they don't compare you to the Van Goghs of the class (even though it sucks having classes w them, just ignore it, they were born with some weird drawing genes, don't worry about it, they're weird) Your professors will judge you based off of your personal improvement, the fact that you actually SHOW progress and growth and effort. Just TRY and you will succeed. And be nice to your teachers. That helps too.
7. Am I going to die?
Only if you purposefully jump in front of a SCAD bus, but only die halfway, then SCAD will pay for your tuition :)
8. How do you hang anything on the walls if you can't leave marks?
Use thumbtacks, nails, tape, and just hope they don't notice. COMMAND STRIPS WILL TAKE PAINT OFF, so it's a lose lose, hopefully they'll just mistake your side of the room for your roommates side and she'll get charged, not you.
9. When should I move off campus?
Most people move off junior year, it will feel like most move sophomore year, but actually the majority of people don't move off until junior year. Warning: when moving you will lose 30% of scholarships, so do the math first, decide if it's worth it. Most students live south of Fortyth park before 40th st.
10. Any move in tips?
I know you will be eager to move in right away, but my best tip would be to wait until the latest moment you can, NO ONE WILL BE THERE! You will be able to move in with ease and minimum move in traffic. Seriously y'all it's so much better.

thank you for this! i am flying to savannah in just a few days and i can not wait to start at SCAD!
YAY! I'm excited too :)
kayla b same!!!
So how is it?
Someone needs to the same thing for Atlanta there are NO videos about it
I wish I knew more about ATL! I'm sorry I don't!
I’m working my way for the campus in Atlanta, I’ve been looking for videos on them but I can’t find any☹️😕
@@annikadenney7559 I'm trying to get into their Atlanta campus too
@@monkeykingmo-ri777 i'm triggered >:(
I'm about to be attending at ATL campus and i plan on doing videos!! :)
Thankss! I’m starting next year. I’ve already been accepted! I’m planning on trying to get as much scholarships as I can because tuition is crazy expensive and I don’t want to take out a lot of loans
You got this! Don't worry, just work with your advisor and the financial advisor at SCAD and they will make sure you are as comfortable as possible! :)
Olivia Ruffin Awesome!! Thanks so much!! ❤️❤️ you’re videos are amazing and informational
I just got accepted so I’m preparing myself by watching videos of what the experience could be like! This video has some great tips! I’m definitely coming back to this often
omg omg yayayaya!! glad it was helpful!!
hows it going
@@pkj4173 sadly, it ended up being too expensive to go. My family had a death causing my family to put their expenses there instead. I’m at a state college now.
@@_.hybrids._1680 im sorry :(
@@pkj4173 it’s alright. My parents recently got a better job in one the richest cities in my state with lower cost of living. I may have another chance. I may not take it because of the hassle though.
I’m just about to apply (this is like, my Dream school), but I didn’t know what to expect. Thanks!❤️
good luck! you got this!
more well done than i expected it to be. Probably the best SCAD vid ive seen

YAY! get excited, congrats!
thanks so much for this video! i’m just waiting for my sat score to get to scad and then my admission decision awaits 😊
woohoo! You're on your way!
What was registering for classes like? What’s your schedule in a nutshell? Thank you for this video it was really great! (And I was considering being an RA too :p)
So registration may seem like a HUGE SCARY DEAL freshman year, but it only gets easier!! You take 3 classes- all 2.5 hours long, some studios, some lectures. Try to mix these up, it can be tough having a schedule of all lectures as im sure you can imagine. Glad I could be helpful!!
Could you do a video about the photography major(s)
I'm driving down to SCAD this thursday to start! I can't wait!!!
yes! Have so much fun!
Omg when i got a shout out!! my woman!!
love you to the moon an back gurl!
Thanks for this - I'm planning on applying in future and your video was really fun and informative. Hope you're doing well 🌱
hooray!!! Have a great day!
really helpful!!! question: I saw in the calendar that classes end on november 15, but do they actually finish or there are final projects after that?
That is the end! You can go home that day :)
You’re awesome! Thank you so much for this video. I’m pretty excited to start school. Does SCAD have sports?
Hey thanks! And yes! A few sports actually! And you can get great scholarships if on the teams!
Tyty
Thanks
welks
Thanks a lot, i am from brazil and i gonna try go to scad, hope i make it thanks, kisses 😗
yay! you've got this!!
Why do you think it’s better to travel sooner than later? By the way I move in to spring house in ATL this Friday and I’m super nervous so I love watching your videos even if I’m not going to Savannah
it's good to go before you get too deep into your major, not all the major classes are offered overseas and it can be difficult to take the right classes, you might have to take electives over there. but I do know some juniors and even seniors who are in hong kong now and lacoste too! So no worries, you really can go whenever :)
What's the temperature like at the hive? Weird question I know, but I get cold easily lol
The dorms have AC panels in them, so you can control the temperature
What camera did you record for this video :0
Me and my friend are thinking about going here and i love this school lol like everything about it, do you have any tips to meet new people?
just put yourself out there! Everyone is in the same boat at the beginning with the same attitude of wanting to meet people and get to know everyone!
I understand that theres more room in the closets but I live at turner and trust me. My friend moved from the hive to turner in my room. Lets just say there is more room to walk around then hive. However turner is older so you might have problems
potentially yes! Turner used to have 3-4 people in each room, imagine how cramped that would have been
Damn, I’m forming with 3 people🌞
How much is out of state tuition, cause I want to do Film and Television in Scad?
tuition is the same price in and out of state! around $35,000 not including housing
Im graduating In 2019 from high school Can I Apply to SCAD With just a Highschool diploma and not be a transfer from a university
yes that's what most people do
In considering applying for SCAD but I'm only a junior in high school. Any early tips?
Just apply! Go for it and really work on creating content for your portfolio!
omg!! this youtuber bella rousseau goes to scad too!! you guys should collab
OMG thanks! I'll check her out!
hi! i was wondering what kinds of things would be good for a portfolio? im not sure aaaa
HI! literally anything you are passionate about! Just show off your work! It's different for everyones interest, but just show a bunch of stuff
@@OliviaRuffin alright, thank you!
Is transferring to scad junior year common/a good idea??
oh yeah people transfer all the time!
Is it possible to get through SCAD without knowing how to draw? I know how to draw but I just can’t draw spectacularly
you'll be fine!!
Olivia Ruffin thanks Olivia!
Can you transfer with an associates degree to SCAD?
nooooo clue but im sure
Hi, do you get to pick your dorm??
not freshman year!
how do you get scholarships?
ask your advisor!
can't go to hong kong no more 8\
I knowwwww, breaks my heart
Can you pick your roommates
for the most part yes! You can request them in advanced, you SHOULD get who you request, but its not always guaranteed
is scad hard to get into? :(
because my grades aren’t looking the best rn but i’m really passionate about animation :(
you'll do great!
Eryka M no it’s not. Scad has a 95% acceptance rate!
Crime be real bad in Savannah, sista.
youre not wrong!!!
Foundation classes actually arent that hard it just takes up a lot of time and mostly money
exactly!
How do u not have a ton of subs?
who knows bro, who knows
fall doesnt exist who? fall is fre ezin g
ITS 90 DEGREES TODAY
How much is out of state tuition, cause I want to do Film and Television in Scad?
its all the same in or out of state because it is a private institution!
Olivia Ruffin Thank you!
