My daughter graduated from VT in 2015 from School of Architecture and Design. She did very well, found jobs in San Francisco and now Australia (more design). My opinion is not an expert one, but as an interested bystander. VT has a good architecture rep even out in CA. I view architecture as a blend of art and analytical engineering–and there is a continuum between those extremes. My impression is that my daughter and VT leans toward the art side of the continuum. I am an electrical engineer and there seems to be a huge difference to me between electrical engineering and architecture/design.

I am also in NoVA. I’m browsing this site because my son is trying to decide between UVa, VT, Georgia Tech for EE in 2017.
