It is really nice to have the end of the week, especially friday, just devoted to architecture studio.

also, try to load up on classes (especially those taking 17-19 credits) in the beginning of the week and take tues/thurs classes. One last thing, just a couple of scheduling tips that i thought would be beneficial to anyone interested in architecture, don’t schedule a class right before architecture studio, the extra time before class and critiques especially is really nice to have. even though a lot of time is devoted to architecture, (at least for me, it is much more time than my friends devote to their studies) i still have a social life and i am able to go out on weekends. being there hours on end working on the various projects is something i enjoy, especially when i have a lot of time to get the work done and nothing else to worry about/think about. Like i said though, i really love studio. People tend to work in different ways, some people are constantly in studio working nonstop, others spread out the work over time, and some save the work until right before it is due (which i wouldn’t recommend, EVERYTHING takes so much longer than you would think). and i’ll reiterate that a lot of time is spent outside of class working on projects/assignments and there are a lot of late nights. takes place outside of the designated class time. Studio class time is mostly used for desk/group critique time, introducing new assignments, and final presentations, whereas the actual “work” or building of the models or drawing plans etc. Projects are generally long term, but have checkpoints for desk critiques or group critiques. i’ve heard (and would have to agree) that at tulane, architecture students are generally the hardest workers. the program is vigorous and requires time, patience, determination, and organization. every student has studio at the same time, but the class is split up into 6 sections for the semester, each with their own design professor. in addition to class time, A LOT of time is spent in studio (outside of class) completing projects and assignments. Studio takes place three times a week (MWF) for 4 hours. Second, i really enjoy architecture studio a lot (despite how much i end up complaining to my mom and roommate about it) My advice would be to use ratemyprofessor and talk to upperclassmen before signing up for classes, no matter where you end up.įirst, i want to begin by mentioning that i have only completed my first semester of architecture, so these are only my views and opinions thus far. i got a 4.0 for my first semester and didn’t find anything too difficult (mostly because my HS classes were harder than many of the freshman courses here). Overall, i wouldn’t say there is grade inflation OR deflation at tulane. some classes grade via z-score (especially in the science department), whereas the liberal arts-y classes tend to be more subjective. most of the core, entry-level courses seem to be pretty fair. in chemistry, however, the grading was very vague and many people ended up with B’s and C’s. for example, in my honors class of 10 people, every single person ended up with an A.
