Sydney College of The Arts

There’s something about art students that make them a breed of their own — perhaps its the dreadlocks, the no shoes, the tongue ring or fluorescent hair — or maybe it goes beyond aesthetics and is a «spirit» a «freedom» «anti-​establishment» that makes them grundgy cool hippy all at the same time… and if you want to observe a flock of artists cooing together than i suggest you visit SCA.
You almost wouldn’t know SCA existed unless someone told you. It’s hidden in the heart of Rozelle — but once you discover it you’re in a for a treat.
This magnificent arts college is aesthetically gorgeous — old building, manicured lawns and an air of sophistication which is quite attractive… once you enter the building though you experience something different — long dark hallways, halogen lights and a few stairwells that feel akwardly small… there’s something strange about this place and you wouldn’t be wrong because before this place was an arts college it was a MENTAL INSTITUTE!!! (shock/​awe)…
I’m being serious. The grounds used to be a hospital and the «dark rooms» prison cells for the mentally ill… it’s rumored ghosts walk the halls late at night… and let me tell you… I’ve been there latish and I wouldn’t want to hang around… it’s all a bit creepy…
So — if you’re looking to seek art students by day or ghosts at night — i suggest you head to SCA… as you never know what you may find…
