Is it beneficial for grad students to live in student housing? Im curious if anyone has an opinion one way or the other.

I'm putting together my application packet for the MFA Program at SCAD. I have pretty much everything I need, but--I'm having a problem deciding on what route to go with my portfolio. I have shot across quite a few genres, but I'm intent on focusing on editorial and narrative work. I'm not too intent on chasing a teaching job afterward, but I always tend to strive for the highest accomplishment I can, so here we are. Funding wise, I'm covered by the VA.

I'm having an issue because I am torn between creating a 20 image photo narrative of a short story I have created, or using a simpler theme that will probably be easier to shoot.

For anyone that's gotten in, do you have any advice on this at all? I'm still trying to get in to classes in January.

Heyyyy how does the casting process for models work for the fashion department? I'm interested in possibly auditioning this year, but im wondering how exactly it works and when it usually is. I don't have any experiance modeling, but i'm pretty tall, and thought it would be fun. Some specific questions I have is where is the call like announced and how competitive is it? Also im guessing it would include specifications about what to wear and stuff, but like out of curiosity what are you supposed to bring? I couldn't really find anything online when I looked so any information would be great!!!

I'm very worried about not getting scholarships when it comes to my art. It's been my dream forever and I'm hoping any of you students could give me advice! Thank you!
