Architecture School: What You Should Know... In Advance
Starting at architecture school is quite an otherworldly experience. You happen to study interesting projects, develop a wide range of skills, and grow as a creative professional. Nevertheless, it can be pretty hard if you are a novice to this because it is a very specific yet ambiguous field and most of the pre-university education does not really cover its fundamentals. Things can get even more complicated if you are an international student studying abroad. I have moved to my second year of architecture school in the UK and would like to share my experience for those who are interested and possibly uninformed about the course. I will mainly cover the article with studio culture, design process, and tools, and skills needed for an architecture student. So, here we go...

Adjusting to My First Year of College
The wait felt like forever...I was going on my last year of high school and I just couldn't wait to get out. It felt like the longest four years of my life and I was ready for a new start with friends and an introduction to what was going to be my future career. Once summer hit the time flew by, and before I knew it I was moving into my first home away from my family. Little side note, I am super close with my family so this transition was HARD. (As it usually is).

Is University Worth It?
The question of "Is university right for me?" has never been asked more than it is today. And for good reason. We live in a world where half the experts say you will never get anywhere without a degree, while the other half say it will be the biggest waste of time in your life.

I Recommend NOT Being Disabled If You Want to Be Treated Fairly in Class
Let's state the obvious for a moment: school is hard enough for students to endure. Whether it’s because of homework, extracurricular activities, or other kids just being stupid kids, school becomes a burden for young people. For others, however, it’s harder in ways that the “normal crowd” couldn’t really even comprehend. Learning disabilities affect close to ten percent of students in public schools, and as someone who was born with anxiety, Asperger’s, and ADD, I can safely say that graduating from college will be harder for me than someone without any of that, and it’s even harder with administrators that claim to decide what’s better for the student when in reality, it’s easier paperwork for the school. On top of that, there are teachers that just don’t seem to get it after all of this time.

Welcome to College!
Starting a new school can always be difficult, but there's something about starting college that is infinitely more terrifying. It's often your first time living on your own, you're living in a new place, and there is much more freedom to choose. At least, that's what I thought going into college. The truth isn't quite what I thought it was. I should preface this, however, with the fact that I am going to city college currently and plan on transferring to a four year school later, so some things may be slightly different than for university students. Still, many things will hold true for both city college and university students.
