| the only person i know in the program who has a job was my gf's TA. He, obviously, works as a TA, but is a mater's student (doing the 5+1 that Cornell offers).
I couldn't imagine my gf holding a job. I dont doubt it's possible, but she barely has a life outside of school, and a job could kill even our friday and saturday night hockey game breaks. Right now, school is her full time job.
It's kind of a shame, because architecture students are the one group of students on campus that need a job.
Tuition + room and board + fees = $44,000 or so a year.
Architecture start-up kit = $550
Recommended "spare cash" = $1,000
My gf's last project ended up costing her $300 in supplies! Yay for expensive wood! She maxed out her "cornell card" (a type of debit that's billed to your bursar) about halfway through the semester. We're given a $500 limit with the cornell card.
It'd be very difficult to balance academics and a job. It's best to work all summer long to have spare cash. Luckily, my gf has a steady stream of cash comming in from home. |
