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?

- Two words, Copper Union. It is free, it is in New York and it is really prestigious. The catch? They only accept 10% of the applicants.
- It isn't hard finding a school that costs less than $20,000 a year. If you're interested in Architecture, you can always apply to a 4-year public college. Public colleges usually cost 5,000-6,000/yr tuition. Out of state tuition is $10,000-$11,000/yr tuition. I live in New York City. CUNY(the City University of New York) has quality public colleges that offer your major. the City College of New York has a BA in Architecture. If your grades aren't good, New York City College of Technology has an associates degree in Architecture/Bachelor's in Architecture combo degree program. Here's the link to their websites. http://www1.ccny.cuny.edu/prospective/architecture/index.cfm http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/academics/deptsites/architecturaltech/index.html Good luck, and remember to check for public colleges in your state. It will save you a lot of money.
