i think 22k is ok…most ppl get by.

i’m a rising sophomore…and for first year, i prob spent about 700 dollars on arch supply only. but as you progress, you begin to use a lot more expensive materials…not to mention plotting tends to be really expensive. architecture is expensive cause you usually buy so much material…some 5th years i know spend prob around 2k just in their 5th year.

i think another thing that begins to cost a lot is the amount of external hard drives and computers you buy throughout your 5 years. architecture is very computer-oriented these days so you constantly need a lot of memory and computer power…a lot of students buy new powerful desktops by their 3rd year. i know my TA had 5 ext hard drives just for his thesis
