I went to SCAD, I loved it, but mostly for the people I met, and being around like-minded artists and having iron sharpen iron. This was nearly ten years ago now, it was a lot different then. At this point, I wouldn't really recommend art school unless you can safely afford it. By which I mean, it is NOT worth putting yourself into years and years of debt for. There are now all sorts of options and studies out there for learning all the stuff I went to classes for. The discipline helped me, but it is by NO means required.
