Savannah College of Art and Design?

I'm strongly contemplating attending this college. For either their interactive design and game developement, animation, visual effects, or graphic design.
I was just merely wondering if anyone has attended this school and their personal opinions on it.

Also, if someone was to major in, say, graphic design but was aspirating to be a game artist of some sort, would that degree apply?

It would be relevant but I doubt it will teach you all the skills and tools you need to be a 3D modeller/animator.

Graphic design is good for product packaging, advertising, and websites. There might occasionally be uses for that in games, but probably not.
And don't forget to exhale once in a while.

I took graphic design as my undergrad degree in an unrelated college. I can safely tell you that apart from helping you build good work ethics and maybe train you in some basic design sense, graphic design has nothing to do with game art. If you are interested in illustration or game art, take illustration or game art
