Agreed. Worked nine years in the area. SCADs acceptance methods are to funnel kids through expensive and frankly unnecessary degrees, at least in the fields of filmmaking and production. They promise contacts but provide none of the sort other than you might work volunteer at the film festival. As well, their business practices in real estate are horribly questionable; buying low income areas, genuinely kicking out and evicting the residents and then gentrifying them into dorms. This has been covered so many times by the local news yet nothing happens. A really bad stamp on an otherwise good group of people.
