<p>This is a really hard decision for me to make right now. RISD does appeal as "the best design school in america" but USC's arch program seems to be really good plus their new awesome profession Frank Gehry.</p>
<p>I'm really just concerned about the quality of the program and lectures...etc. Other things can come after.</p>
<p>Any advice, any opinion would helpful. THX!</p>
<p>USC no doubt.</p>
<p>Edit: I believe RISD has communal studios as well? I may be mistaken as well.</p>
<p>USC is geared towards technology and is more practical. i believe RISD is very design-based. i am not sure how to answer the question of quality as it really depends on what you are looking for.
i go to USC for the b.arch program so should you have any specific questions regarding the program you can ask me for sure ;)</p>
<p>^Really? I feel like USC is technology focused (like with CAD and suchh), but practicality wise? We don’t need Calc and physics is literally a joke. But it’s also pretty design based too, which is nice. Maybe not as much as RISD though. But I don’t know for sure, I just finished first year :P</p>
<p>USC no doubt :D</p>
