Regarding RISD, my daughter knows a lot of BArch majors at RISD, from her own entering class of 1999. It is an extremely demanding program, but I think this is true of most arch programs. Unlike the crits in most other majors (such as industrial design – my daughter’s major), the ones in arch are often brutal, and it’s not unknown for students to have to repeat a year. RISD’s arch program is highly regarded but also seeking to improve its standing and this may contribute to its current apporach.
