I am currently studying Architecture at NYTech, great to know that there are some mentors here

Tondtar · 09-05-2008, 03:53 PM

Good luck and enjoy your time in the school ...You WILL remember it for the rest of your life. I think most architect students experience college life quite differently from others ( know I did but my recollection is quite hazy now ..thanks to partying too much!

)

Civil eng and Architects work really close together now a days with all the fancy designs and such..

both are realy exceptional career paths.. I'd say if you are a more problem solver, go with Civil Eng. if you like to design more and find yourself more creative, go for the Architect..

Two different end of spectrum , IMO. What are you best at? Creativity/ artistic inclination or logic/ practicality? If you answered the first one, you probably do better as an architect. If not, the other may suit you better. Try to get a job as an intern (even if unpaid) and see which one better fits you and your talents. Good luck.

+1. architecture training is really tough. just finished 1st year and i heard it only gets harder till you finish the 3rd year. so far I've experienced only sleeping for an hour or two and sometimes not at all just to finish a set of drawings and a matching model.

oh, i also go to a store and spend money on lots of basswood, glue, and other materials. fun stuff but tough.

if you want to make money easier go for engineering. i heard electrical engineers make a lot.

I am trying to get into the field of Architectural Visualization.. Any tips? Heard it pays well and i would love to do it.

Prissy · 09-08-2008, 04:55 PM
