I can give scant information on the two schools; Wentworth and Roger Williams.
A local high school graduate, one year ahead of my older son, is in his senior year of Architecture at Wentworth. He is an extremely artistic person and has worked summers for an Architecture firm since starting college. The firm has offered him a job when he graduates, they love his artistry and work ethic. His mom tells us he is very happy at Wentworth.
Rogers Williams- we looked at the Architecture school for our younger son. It is convenient to where we live. The campus is small but in a most beautiful location, some waterfront dorms! It is a relatively new school, I think most of the buildings date from the 1960's. The architecture facilities are very modern and impressive, the work we saw there was good, and the studios were just what they should be. It is probably the hardest course the school offers, other than its Law School.
The student population was somewhat homogenously suburban and I don't think it has a particularly strong academic reputation outside of Architecture and the Law school. There is a well respected Marine Biology degree however, and my son was interested to learn that work study jobs are available in the wet-lab, where among other things, they raise clown fish, fire shrimp and seahorses for sale to pet shops.
Hope this is at least a bit of info you didn't have. |
