What's the best college to study Architecture near the Bay Area? I live in San Francisco and I'm going to go to a community college first to transfer credits to a better college. But what college is the best one for architecture near the bay area?

What job could I get in Architecture or design during college? So I am preparing to enter my second semester of my college freshman year.

I realize I will not be designing buildings, but I want to get into this field in some manner, be it a "coffee runner" or an assistant. Any suggestions?

Mechatronics engineering or landscape architecture? I'm having a little trouble on deciding my major. I have a very huge interest in 2 different fields, for I love the field of robotics and engineering. And just recently I've had a sudden love for horticulture, landscaping, gardening, and designing. However, mechatronics engineering is a very hard field and the classes are very in depth with mathematics and problem solving. I know in the long run I'll be making more money with an engineering degree, but will I be able to make it through all the rigorous math classes? Right now I'm taking my college core classes and I'm currently in pre-calculus and I'm already struggling with some of the chapters. Would it be logical for me to just get a degree in landscape architecture/horticulture? And how well is the job industry demanding for landscape architecture?

I want to major in landscape architecture but I feel like I'm not doing my full potential? I honestly think I would love doing landscape architecture as a major and career. I've always loved thinking of new ways to make my backyard look better, I've raised plants, I love digging, and I used to build organic dams in the backyard when I was small. I'm in my first semester of college, and I know I need to decide on a major soon. I want to pick landscape architecture as a major, but I feel like so much potential is being wasted. I'm superb at math/calculus, science, computer science, and english. If I major in LA, I probably won't need to take math anymore or computer classes. What should I do? I plan on talking to a counselor soon, but do you guys have any advice? Should I decide on different major so I can feel like I'm using all my skills, or should I stay with LA? And do you know what the BEST college is? Hopefully its in California..And I'm a guy, not gay though lol :)

major in landscape archtecture? well going to be a freshmen in college and planning on majoring in landscape architecture. so wondering what exactly do you learn? what exactly is it? is it building related or plants? what kind of jobs do you get from this? kind of confused here. so any opinions about it? your thoughts and feelings?

I would like to major in either computer science or landscape architecture, but I can't choose? I'm at my first year in community college, and I'm having one of those "what should i major in!?" crisis. I was originally choosing to major in computer science, but after alot of research and thinking, I'm not too sure anymore. It's not the fact that I have to take 5 calculus classes since that's my best subject, but it's just that you don't get better as you stay in the job since the technology is always changing, and you always have to be updated. However, one of the things I have always liked is gardening and plants. Yeah, I'm a guy, but I've always loved working with plants and digging/etc, as well as where to put plants and how things look. Hell, when I was 14 I would build miniature soil dams in my backyard to drain water out of the yard. So, I've also been thinking about majoring in landscape architechure. But my qualm with this is that I'm not the best conversationalist,I've always hated art with a passion (Except for drawing maps, diagrams, etc.) , and how can I be sure i'd be good at this profession? Also, so much of my potential will be wasted since I excel at math and computers.. Anyway, can you please give me some advice, I need to decide early since if I decide to major or not in computer science, I have to start now.

I want to become a landscape architect I got my bachelors in Studio Fine Art and would like to become a landscape architect. I do not have any real experience in the field, but i will be taking a CAD intro class at the local community college to better my chances of getting into Grad School as well as a GRE study course. My question is, should I try to get a second bachelors in landscape architecture or will it hurt me when trying to find a job? My GPA from school was 3.1 the last sixty hours and I am still struggling to write my letter of intent for Grad school. I'm not even sure if its that good, seeing that i don't have a whole lot of experience. So would i have better chances of getting into a BLA program or a MLA program? Also if any one could tell me how long it takes to get a second bachelors it would be a great help. Thank you!

Best College for Me? Architecture? I'm almost at the stage where I will be applying to colleges and I can't seem to find one that fits me well. I am interested in a good school for architecture and landscape design (major and minor) or interior design. I want a school that costs less than $20,000 a year, and I know thats hard to find. But with scholarships and financial aid, if I can get it to $20,000 or under, that would be good. I need it to be in the Northeast corner of the United States: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Washington DC, and I'm even willing to go as far as Virginia. I don't care about private vs. non-private, size (I really don't mind how small or big it is), or diversity, it doesn't matter to me. Know any good colleges with good reputations that fit my criteria?

I have all the pictures, drawings, and models photographed, scanned, or otherwise digitalized. However organizing the portfolio is something I'm not sure about. How should i organize it? Should I include a table of contents? Should I keep all the pictures portrait, even though some pictures are shrunk when they are naturally landscape?

What are my chances of getting into a semi-selective college? My grades were decent freshman year, perfect (4.0 gpa, 4.2 weighted) sophomore year, but so far this semester has been really hard for me; I still have to take my exams but I think I will end up with 3 A's, 2 B-'s and possibly one C+ or B-. Ive had some personal issues but I think I can do much better next semester. my gpa is 3.7.I'm in marching band, color guard, yearbook, and I have a really great job as a florist. I plan on taking more extracurriculars and possibly tutoring, and will probably get into NHS at my school. I am also going to volunteer this summer and take a few design/architecture classes at our local college. I want to major in Landscape Architecture in college, and the most selective schools I will apply to are probably UVa, Illinois Urbana-Champlain, and UW Madison. What are my chances of getting in to any given school, mainly the ones mentioned, even with an iffy start to my junior year? (p.s.- havent taken ACT's yet but I took a practice test and am aiming for a 28 I just have one more question: what is Uofl? University of Florida? Good to know I would most likely get in but I dont want to go to school there! :-) thanks anyway!

Moving to Seattle? Okay so, I'm in my 4th year of college, majoring in landscape architecture with an emphasis in sustainabilty, and I've begun to think where I might like to move to to start my career and my life for that matter! So as of now, my top choice is Seattle, WA! but I had a few questions about it... First off, I was born and raised in the South (lived in New Orleans until I was 10 and Atlanta since then and I currently attend UGA) what kind of culture-shock could I expect, if any? Next, which would be the best areas to live in? I'd like something inexpensive and preferably downtown, so I could walk or take public transportation to work. And also somewhere that allows pets...I have a dog, a corgi...she's small and quiet. Then how are the people and the social scene there? What are the pros and cons of living there? And would you suggest somewhere else in the country/state? and if so, where? Thanks! Also, I'm really into kayaking, whitewater and otherwise! I know Seattle is known for being very outdoorsy but would it be good for that? Where would be some prime places for that?

Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Stuck on what A-levels to do? Okay, I'm stuck on what A-levels to do. I'm expected to get an A in all of my GCSES except for Science (which is expected B). When I go to Uni, I want to do Economics/Politics/Architecture/Landscape Architecture. I've decided that I'm definitely doing Economics and Government and Politics. However I'm stuck on what to do for my last two subjects. I have been thinking Pure Math with Mechanics and History of Art. This would lean towards my career of being an Architect. Though I am also thinking of Pure math with decision and Modern History which would be more helpful with Economics/Gov and Politics. It is difficult decision thinking which. If I were to go with Pure Math with Mechanics and History of Art and if I ever get a degree in Architecture/Landscape Architecture (Which would then be around 2015), I want to know if the architecture/cities in most developed countries/major economic countries such as Europe, US, Canada, East Asia (China, Korea Japan) etc etc would have been completed by then. Reason I ask is that I don't want to complete my Architecture degree then find out it is useless and I have wasted 4 years on a pointless degree. If I were to go with Pure Math with Decision and Modern History, I keep thinking that the "four" knowledge-based subjects would be a bit of an overload? I know that alot of colleges recommend taking an "arty" course though I can't think of one which would be suitable for Economics/Government and Politics. Long story short, should I choose either Pure Math with Decision and Modern History, or Pure Math with Mechanics and History of Art as my 3rd and 4th A-levels. And my question I mentioned about Architecture and about the four knowledge-based subjects being an overload. Thanks. Sorry for the wall of text.

Can someone who is in the Army Reserves or Guard help me with art and media MOS questions? I am a current student enrolled in a community college with a major in landscape technology. I am considering joining the army guard or reserves and have a meeting with a reserves recruiter and contacted a guard recruiter. I know how persuading they can be so I am looking for some very honest answers about possible future MOS. Since considering the option of join the military, I've been leaning towards art/media because it seems to coincide with landscape architecture. Its been suggested to ask around do alot of research and I've been doing that as much as possible so if there is any advice for a MOS in art/media or for a young woman considering the military with some college I would appreciate the honest answers :)

HELP PLEASE! ASAP Which course is right for me, Architecture or Information Design? I just graduated from high school and i'm on my way to college, but i'm having a hard time choosing between these 2 courses. I like both and i see myself being good at them. Architecture - i like art/draw, design stuff - my dad is a well known architect - i wanted to be an architect since i was little - i have more advantages than any other architecture student(because of my dad etc) - i really like to improve our city and provincial landscape - profession - boring at times - unlimited work Information Design - i can go to Advertising - it has art and communication in it. - computer stuff is needed here and i like some computer art programs/graphics stuff - i like designing new and creative things - really revolves around ART - it's a new trend and it's easier to get a job here - it can give me different job opportunities(eg. advertising employee, freelance designer etc) - lots of competition - i'm kind of a shy person BUT i want to improve my public relation skills. my life=ART

Transfer to UC or just go to state university? I am currently a senior that has applied to many schools but due to the budget crisis, I got rejected at many schools. I am planning to major in Architecture or related majors. I got accepted to Cal Poly Pomona for landscape architecture, and got placed in the waiting list for CSULB for Interior architectural Design. I am still waiting for another college that I applied in Canada for Architectural studies. My problem is that my family is just right to pay for CSU yearly, but they prefered if I just transfered to either UCB or UCLA for architecture as a junior from Community College. I guess it's cheaper to transfer but wouldn't it be harder to transfer in? Which option should I take?

What's the best college for architecture? Building architecture not landscape.

I think I've found my passion in life: Landscaping! Now what do I do?!? I'm a college senior about to graduate in Business Marketing, but I recently got a summer job on the grounds crew at a local country club. I've come to REALLY enjoy being outside and designing plant beds and putting together nature in an artistic way. I've been reading up a bit on Landscape Architecture but it seems like quite a complex area with a lot of information. Where should I even BEGIN researching this industry and what advice does anyone in landscaping have on how to get started? Thanks in advance!

What major should I go for if I am extremely good with computers and like to help the environment and do labor? I'm struggling to figure out what to major in for college. I am extremely computer literate, and even know more than my computer science professor. So naturally Computer Science would be a good major for me. But when I researched it, I have to take 5 more classes of calculus, and you have to constantly read about the new languages that develop as technology changes. Although I'm good at math and know I could make it into UCLA if I want, I don't want a job like that. I want a job that utilizes computer programs but doesn't revolve around it. I have many interests, especially of protecting the environment and working in the garden t (no I'm not gay). What would be a good major for me to choose? I've thought about landscape architecture, but I'm still not too sure if I would be the best at that job. I'm afraid if I get an Environmental Science degree I'll end up being a teacher.

Help ME,College? I'm confused here. I want to stay in Pennsylvania for Landscape Architecture. My tuition at Lehigh is free, however I want to go to PSU since there 4th in the nation for their L.A. program. Lehigh however only has an Arts and Architecture program. Is it a good idea to start off at Lehigh for my required classes like English, etc... and then switch to PSU later on for just the L.A. classes?

College in Shanghai, China? I am moving to Shanghai in the next few months. I would like to study Landscape Architecture, but I'm not sure how to locate schools in the area that offer the degree. I did find the Shanghai Jiao Tong University International Continuing Education Center, but they are limited on degrees. Can anyone give me links to schools in Shanghai (taught in English only) for a Landscape Architecture Degree?

What education do Architects receive? I'm researching for a book and one of my characters is an architectural college student. I researched as best as I can but the results are very vague. I know there's a Bachelor of Architecture and a Masters. Is masters the specialization if it's buildings or landscapes, etc.? My character is 23 years old so by that point, what is an architectural student doing or studying about? I really have vague ideas and would appreciate if anyone answered my questions.

Expectations in College? As it is, I'm a Sophomore in high school... ---I get my work done and go way past my expectations, but I am a procrastinator. ---The best work ethic I have are in the classes PreAP English II and Art II... If I were in a regular English class, I'd be scoring over a 100 and I'm making a 100 in Art. ---That's just a little info. for you about me. My question is, "What are the expectations in college? I'm going to college for the following reasons... -*-I'd like to be extremely successful in my chosen profession (landscaping, architecture, interior design, advertising artist, graphic designer, painter..) and I'm not going to go beyond my expectations unless I go to college. *I'd have more people to fill in as my friends when I'm feeling out a job application for the boss to see if I'm reliable. *I feel I'm going to school with dummies and have not yet reached the peak of knowledge that I'm capable of handling. *Going to college looks better on a college application.

Anyone living in England!! What are your views...? I live over in America and England has always been in my interest ( Most likely since 5th grade). I'm a senior now and the college that I am going to attend lets those majoring in what I am, to study abroad. I'll be going to England of course. But I'd like to get to know England's views on a couple of things, to understand more about it. 1. America seems to focus on looks more than talent, or base opinions off of clothing, especially in the media, is it the same over in England, or is there a little more than judging off of a first impression? 2. Many Americans dislike our current president, do you agree that they should, or shouldn't? It is believed that Bush hasn't made the greatest choices in the War on Terrorism 3. Does our nation meddle with other country's policies a little too much? 3. What is it like over in England? I've heard it's very rainy, but in terms of the architecture and landscape, what's it like? What would you say is the most impressive building? You all helped me out so much!! It was great hearing different views and opinions from those actually there and I appreciate it. I'll be sure to visit the mentioned places =] And I can relate to the sarcasam lol, my family comes off as a group of arrogant jerks. Its just fun. thanks!

World Lit II-- Can anyone help me with a 'literary analysis'? A single mom back in college, I am a little overwhelmed this semester. Its the end, and I am struggling with, among others, writing a 7 pg analysis of The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One; recreating a piece of art with a human element from our text book (and have no camera..); write a paper on the artistic architecture of a church and the origins, and-- *take an author we've read this semester (Conrad, Joyce, Sartre, Pirandhello, Borges, Beckett, Fugard) and write our own "original and informed analysis in essay form." It should reference previous critical analyses, and refer to specific passages from the primary text (I assume what was in our textbook, like No Exit; Heart of Darkness; Six Charactes Searching for an Author; The Dead) with each reference properly cited in MLA. He says "I recommend " starting in the library, as "specialized encyclo. and books offer more authoratative and interesting ideas than..the broad, general landscape of the web.." Any ideas/help?

What is it like living in Chicago? I'm a jr in college majoring in landscape design and have been looking @ graduate schools in Chicago. I'd really like to go to IIT to get my masters in Architecture. So what are the pros and cons of living in Chicago? I'm from NC, and currently attend school in Tallahassee, Fl which is slow and boring. I know I want to live somewhere with a faster pace. I'm sure it gets really cold there in the winter, but I'm sure I'd be able to adapt eventually. Also, if I do go to grad school up there although I'd be bringing my car hows the public transportation system? And What are the people like? How is the crime, is there a lot to do there?

How difficult is it to get into Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) for grad school? I want to go to IIT to get my masters in Architecture. I am currently @ Florida A & M University, and majoring in Landscape Design. I expect to graduate in 2011. While reading the Graduate Admissions Requirements, it says I'd need a minimum undergraduate cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0 (or its equivalent) from an accredited institution for regular admission. Students with an undergraduate GPA of at least 2.5/4.0 may be admitted as non-degree students. I currently have a 3.2 gpa, which is good, but I'm sure IIT's Arch program is really competitive, and I'm nervous a 3.2 won't cut it. It also reads, the GRE requirement may be waived for applicants to professional master's degree programs who hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited U.S. college or university with a cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0 or higher. I'm positive my gpa will go up after this semester. Also, if you live, have lived, in chicago, whats it like there. I'm sure its really cold in the winter time, but I'm sure I'd adapt eventually.

College Majors question? I can't make up my mind what I want to study in college. Im only a sophmore in hig school so I have time. But I want to know what you think of each I like nature, so I thought about wildlife photography. I am also considering architecture, or landscape architecture I like sports. I am thinking about communication to maybe be a sports reporter. It would be fun to be a coach, but I have my doubts about it. Then Im also thinking about criminal justice and EMT/fire science What do you think of these. What are the ups and downs. I don't want people to come on here and tell me to follow my heart or that I should'nt ask random people to decide my future. I am not, I just want to hear opinions from everyone.

Need help deciding on what to focus on in school? I am currently a psychology major but I'm having second thoughts about it. I'm not known as being an outgoing and open person & my family wonders why/ how in the world am I going to talk to people to be successful in my major. I've definitely realized that I am kind of antisocial but I also realized I want to change that. So I'm thinking hopefully if I stick with this major it will help me become the person I want to but then again change is hard for me & it's really hard not letting what my own family said bring me down. I'm not sure what else I'd study. I want something that'll get me a job I love, where I can mostly work on my own. I'm not a business person at all, so not that. I'm considering Community Health or Landscape Architecture just because job outlook looks better than with psych and seems doable. I know most psych majors don't actually work in their field after college, mostly marketing stuff and that doesn't sound like me. What does anyone else think?

colleges, universities? I'm looking to return to school after a number of years off. I need to complete undergraduate studies. I have a bit of dilema, I like photography a lot,at the same time I' big on theater and film as well. I've always wondered what good a film degree could give you, and I know it can open some doors, but in all honesty its still pretty tough to get in. Second photography, if done I'd want my own studio, eventually and while I don't mind working for someone else, nor what the pay is, I have a unique take and look on pictures and go againt the grain a lot the time with focus and angles, so I figure I should learn the traditional stuff and then after that I'd be able to better facilitate my unique photos. I'm big on scenic landscapes and architecture from different and sometimes odd anngles. I'm thinking I want to major in Photography and thenamybe join a film club at the university. Anyone have some good universities that have great photography programs? Any recommendations? As far as the location of the college, I'm not too concerned, I'll go where I feel I will have the best experience possible. Thanks. -AD

I need help deciding on a college Degree? I've already been to college once and withdrew from my program after I decided I did not enjoy it. I now have about 80 credit hours I can transfer into another program but because I am 30k in debt to student loans I do not want to rush into another degree I wouldn't not enjoy. Honestly, not to sound conceited, I do not think there is any program beyond my ability to complete. I took education very seriously in grade school and I am also very artistically inclined. So, here is what Interests me but I can not think of any type of career it would apply to. The bottom line is that I would love to do any type of humanitarian work that will help future generation. Urban/park development... social responsibility... something along those moral lines. I enjoy: welding, painting, working with animals of all types (land and sea), architecture, history, english, writing, TRAVELING, expeditions, designing space layouts, landscaping, building and organizing projects. anything is a huge help! In case you are wondering: my degree was a Digital media production major. In encompassed film, recording arts, webdesign, lighting, and sound.

movie i saw in my english class? Our teacher in my college english class last year showed us a film/movie the was really cool but i can't remember the name of it! it was all images and videos and i think it had music in the background. it was all really cool images of people,wars,buildings,architecture,landscapes,etc. and i think they all kind of blended into one another. it was a really weird, long name. it was very cool and i'd like to see it again. has anyone else seen this movie? and what is the name of it? i took the class while in high school, so i can't ask her.
