<p>I’d say apply to both from high school, and if you don’t get into either one then try community college. Also if you’re not 100% sure about your major yet, I’d say do the community college thing too.</p>
<p>SLOW and UCLA are two verrry different architecture schools, and I would definitely recommend doing some research on the difference. To start, SLOW offers a Barch which is a 5 year professional degree in architecture, with UCLA offering a 2 year B of architectural studies. The UCLA degree tends to be a lot less focused on the maths and physics of architecture and structure, while emphasizing theory and visual communication. </p>
<p>It really just depends on what you want out of your education and how long you intend on being in school…I’d look into the specifications of each schools department and its philosophy as a department within the school itself.</p>
<p>(ps…I just took the CC route myself and am currently attended the open house within UCLA’s program, and that may be the route for you too. When I was in HS i had nooo idea what it was I wanted to pursue)</p>
