The faculty in my department are the stars of my time at SCAD. I could never have had the experiences studying in my home country, I am very happy I moved across the world. I was incredibly lucky with my dorm roommates and friends that I made living in Monty. You get out what you put in to your time at SCAD, so make sure you put everything into it.
