congratulations!!!! \(^^)/ have fun and make lots of stuff! best advice: go all out on every assignment, no matter how easy, because you'll improve 10x more if you do that :3
im so sorry, somehow i missed this message completely! i liked SCAD a lot - i've heard the experience varies greatly depending on which program you are in though!! i was in the Sequential Art department which is tiny compared to the rest of scad, so it was a very good experience.
