I’m a recent Tufts alum. My boyfriend who just graduated alongside me, was an Arch Studies major. Like Soozie, I recommend you make the most of rendering classes at the SMFA, do an internship for credit every semester and summer you can, and choose an architecture-intensive year or semester abroad. My boyfriend did the Columbia New York/Paris program and loved it. Another interesting program to consider is SCI-ARC in Los Angeles as a visiting student (it’s a very avant-garde arch/design schol). Remember that most people who go on to become architects DON’T have BArchs, and instead have BAs. Also please remember that transferring after 2 years to a BArch program may not be in your best interest, neither in terms of time or money.
