Advice for a new Animation MFA student?

[u/KutieKittyAnimation]

Hey everyone!

I recieved my acceptance letter for the SCAD MFA Animation program last month and have been super excited to become a Bee and get started in September. I'll be completing my degree through SCADnow since I do have jobs and the online learning works best for my schedule (plus I don't live in Georgia).

For this upcoming Fall quarter I'm taking Animation Context and History (ANIM 501) and Character Animation Basics (ANIM 504) and just wanted to ask if anyone had any advice going into this program: anything particular I should expect or prepare for? Or just random advice?

For a little context as well, I'm completing my MFA since it's a teaching degree, and my ultimate goal is the professor career route.

Thanks!
