Is Tulane the right decision?

Yes, I’m having a great year, and I’m doing the 5 year! Actually, this year is the first year that they even offered the 4 year program, and I don’t think I know any freshmen who are planning on doing the 4 year. There are a few people in my studio who are older students who have decided they want to major in architecture, so it allows them to switch in and get a degree. (You basically have to start first semester freshman year to do the 5 year). Architecture is a very busy major, so do expect to have a lot of late nights in studio (though this goes for the 4-year students in my studio as well) working on drawing, drafting, and building models while some of the less demanding majors go out or get some sleep. However, it’s worth it, I think! My professor last semester mentioned that the students from last year’s graduating class who were looking for jobs in architecture had all already found jobs in architecture (some people major in architecture and do other design-related work like graphic design, film, and art).

I will let you know that I didn’t learn too much about the school from the local student reception, but then again yours could be different.

If you do come visit, I would be glad to show you around in addition to any tours you take through the school!

Let me know if you have any other questions about the program!
