Hey people im 20 years old and am currently attending a community college for Advertisement Deisgn (Graphic Design.) Well anyway over the summer i visited SCAD and well the facilities and some of the students just blew me away. I need to know about the school from students who go there. I am very interested in the Illustration degree and have already applied.
