camusician - Sequoia is one of the red bricks and it is the learning-living dorm for architecture and other majors within the College of Architecture and Environmental Design. Some advantages to this dorm for an architecture major: 1) the dorm’s study lounge has drafting tables and is a gathering place for the arch majors to work on their projects. When you’re up all night, it’s nice to have company. 2) About half the residents are in the CAED so you always have someone to help with classes. The other half are students in other majors, so you still have variety when you get sick of architecture talk. 3) There is programming specific to the majors. Professors will come into the dorm and speak about topics such as ‘how to design the portfolio due at the end of every quarter’. Anyone can come to those, but it’s convenient to have them in your building instead of across campus; it makes it more likely you’ll take advantage of them.
Sequoia is worth a look for CAED majors. Good luck on your application.
