| I'll be going to RISD next year for architecture. Didn't apply to a lot of architecture programs though; I'm turning down NYU (Gallatin), University of Rochester, Vassar, Notre Dame, and chose not to go after a waitlist at Tufts. For now at least - Gallatin is pretty tempting, even if it's not architecture.
Good luck with your decision archkid, I'm sure you'll do well wherever you end up. You've got some great 5-year options - I'd personally be deliberating between RISD and Syracuse, although CPSLO is a nice option of your instate for the tuition. I think the CMU social scene is a bit of an acquired taste, but nevertheless I wish you the best in your decision. Hit up those open houses.
Bit of a thread hijack, but the open houses reminded me of it, but it probably applies to this thread: what are some questions current students/architects recommend asking of architecture faculty/students while visiting? Anything that you would deem as very important? Job placement, grad school statistics, etc? | |

| RyanMac, I'm not a fan of open houses, nor weekends or nice sunny days for college visits. Nothing like a cold rainy Tuesday morning to get a real feel of a place.

| What's the song with the line, "another one bites the dust"?
Some may cringe at my cut tonight, RISD, but it's not the place for me.
Another cut tomorrow.

| Another school to consider!
If you can handle the winter (your other choices make me think you can) - check out Iowa State University. Their architecture program right now is VERY strong. It's also pretty competitive. | |

| I'm find with a winter environment. As you can see most of the schools I applied to are in the northeast.

| Tonights cut was actually easy. Pretty town, cute campus on the waterfront, very nice architecture department building and facilities couldn't outweigh a program with a focus on things I don't. Goodbye RWU.
