<p>I know that regular architecture students are some of the busiest and hardest working at their schools… but how would you rate landscape architecture? somewhat easier/ a lot easier?</p>
<p>any studio course usually requires more time than your typical college course but they seem to have more free time than architecture students…at least in my school it is</p>
<p>what school would that be?</p>
<p>cornell…but again, you’re talking to an architecture student so you might want to talk to a landscape arch student at cornell.</p>
<p>at USC, the landscape majors spent the first year and a half taking the same courseload as the architecture majors, then they started taking plant identification instead of physics, and additional materials & methods instead of structures, but their studio classes were identical in workload, time commitment, etc. to the architecture classes, in fact landscape was one of the topic studios you could take as an architecture major. They still had to take some history, the same theory and professional practice classes as architecture majors. So I would say that it is slightly easier than architecture (at least in that curriculum), due to the lack of physics and structures courses.</p>
<p>I’d say it’s pretty similar in terms of workload. But as anything, it is what you make it. In terms of design, a project can take as little or as much time as you give it. We just get to go outside more than the architecture kids, although in Ithaca this week that’s not such a good thing!</p>
