<p>Last year I went through this process with my daughter. She just finished her 1st year in the Architecture program at the U of Illinois and is extremely pleased. However, her decision came at the last minute because she (and I) absolutely loved the program and the new dean at Tulane. You may want to look at Tulane as long as you’re still identifying schools. And for what it’s worth, the U of Illinois has one of the strongest study abroad programs in architecture. You can spend your junior year at the Versailles.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
