maybe the rice dean will fill in cornell's dean position haha

lack of dean is pretty bad because deans with good connections bring in good professors and critics. schools try to find a new dean as soon as possible. currently cornell is very aggressive in finding a new dean as soon as possible. hopefully we'll get one by the coming semester

i've only taken econ 101, psych 101, and FWS. they're pretty good.. they are large classes and much standardized so it's unlike the architecture classes where you get a lot of attention. electives are nice because you don't get to think about architecture for once

architecture studios can be very cooperative because sometimes you work in teams. everyone is supportive of each other and there is no competition to cut each other down, though everyone works hard to have the best project.

i'll go to rome in a year. there has been a lot of great reviews from the program

i'm always in studio so im not very exposed to the frat scene. it can be noisy during weekends but they're not that big of a deal. frats can be a good way of networking people (they could be your potential future clients)

we do work on the solar decathalon but that's only if you join that particular studio. solar decathalon is in collaboration with other schools as well so it's not just the studio in control of the project
