Thanks for responding. Also congrats on your acceptance. Some feedback I've received regarding the program from past students includes that overall, the program is practical and provides a solid foundation in design. Strengths considered are professors, study abroad opportunities, and as you mentioned, facilities. Also, the choice of interdisciplinary electives has been noted as a plus. There's also electives for such software as Revit. It was mentioned that at times there could have been a stronger emphasis on interiors, but electives can help with that and it could be better in that aspect now.

Grev, I appreciate the feedback.

Hi Everyone, Can anyone who has recently visited ASU give me feedback on the facilities and atmosphere of the architecture department? I won't be able to visit before I decide. Thank you

Hi All, Can anyone who has recently visited KU speak on the facilities and atmosphere of the architecture department? I won't be able to visit before I decide and am interested in reading different perspectives. Thank you

Hi All, A few past posts have suggested in so many words that public transportation is terrible/not sufficient for getting around. However, visits to the website for public transportation shows me that pt is pretty extensive. It at least extends into downtown PHX. I understand that for some far places, pt just doesn't extend. However, I'm someone who is used to using public transportation/walking for many things, so I'm used to what can come w/ the territory. If I decide to attend ASU, having a car is not an option for me - at least at the moment. Some of the previous comments about pt seem to be from ppl who aren't that comfortable w/ using it. So, can someone please give me a straight, more insightful answer about simply getting from point a to b? For example, when ppl say using it for the grocery store is out of the question, are they moreso referring to carrying grocery bags or to there not being pt stops close enough (again, I'm used to using pt for things like getting to the grocery store)? Could I still successfully get around Tempe and even some areas of PHX using pt and not a car? Thanks

Hey Everyone, At the moment, I will not be able to visit any of the schools that have accepted me (still waiting to here from two). Many people emphasize visiting the campus and department to ultimately determine the place that's the best fit. I agree that's a wise idea. However, I would like to read different perspectives on how some of you made your ultimate decision - especially if you were not able to visit. Thanks

Hey All, Can anyone tell me anything about the SAIC M.Arch w/ emphasis in interior architecture program (the 3+ program)? I would appreciate it if someone who is currently in the program or a recent graduate would respond. Please include strengths and weaknesses. Thanks
