Hey,

I am a current Arch student at rpi. I am a second year and am involved in many extra curriculars. I have been on the varsity swim team for two years. There are about 5-10 people in my year that balance arch with a varsity sport, which is probably the most time consuming extra curricular. I know at least 5 people in my year that are in concert choir. Also, I am very involved in AIAS, the architecture club that is outside of classes. Also, I have been involved in volleyball club and a design club. There are also many people that join frats and sororities. Plus party a lot on weekend. So there is absolutely a way to have a life outside of studio at RPI. When you hear stories about people spending a full week on work, thats only the extreme. There are also some people who barely come in and work and everything in between.
