most arch schools have study abroad opportunities. Traveling and exposing yourself to the world is a pretty important part of an architectural education.

cornell architecture has three centers-Ithaca, Rome, and New York with its own studio facilities and faculty teaching at all three centers. This gives students a lot of opportunity to expose themselves to different places and architectural practices. In Ithaca, you get the ‘monastic’ experience of rural Ithaca along with a very energetic faculty and school culture. In Rome you’re exposed to a lot of European theory and history. In New York, you are able to expose yourself to a lot of the architectural scene there as well as network with the strong alumni network in the area.

We also have studios which go to different places around the world every summer. I was able to go to Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil with three Cornell professors after my third year.
