<p>I need help!!!
I a high school athlete that is being looked at by various schools. I can go to college on an athletic scholarship with is fantastic. However, i wish to major in architecture because ive always been interested in the design of buildings and how they were made. Im also very artistic and good at math. How can i do both sports and an architecture major in college?</p>
<p>Who is saying you cant be both an athlete and study architecture? Why are you so worried and thinking that by studying architecture you cant have time to do other things? </p>
<p>Plenty of people at my school do sports and they do just fine in architecture. It is about time management though and prioritizing. College sports are like full time jobs (in the sense that they take a lot of time and they can pay for your tuition). Just make sure you stay focus and get everything done quickly. It is no different than people who study engineering/pre-med and do sports. Dont worry. </p>
<p>Architecture students blow things way out of proportion in regards to how much time they spend completing their assignments and that they have no life. I spend the same amount of time studying/working as my friends do in business majors and have done just fine. I do not really work at all on the weekends. Sleep a good 7 hours each night. Its all about time management dude.</p>
<p>I played lacrosse in college, and though it was a bit of a struggle I made it work. However it seems to me that sports have gotten much more intense since then. I think you are going to struggle in division 1 athletics while studying architecture. Even the ‘minor’ spots are a big deal now, and if they give you a scholarship they are going to have high expectations. Studio typically meets from 1 to 5 three days a week; try to make that work with a practice schedule.</p>
<p>I don’t want to be negative, but you should go into it with your eyes open. </p>

<p>futur, I think it depends on the sport, the school, and the degree. If you’re looking to play a high profile sport at a B.Arch program at an academically rigorous school, you’re going to have a hard time making it work. For better or worse, studio is demanding and time-eating. Many studio projects are collaborative and you’re expected to put in the hours.</p>
<p>If, on the other hand, your thinking about getting a BS or BA in architecture or architecture studies, then you should be able to maintain a full range of extra curriculars. With a BS/BA, however, you’ll need to get an M.Arch in order to practice architecture. This is a fairly common route for architects, but it does take longer and cost more than a B.Arch so you have to weigh the factors.</p>
<p>Andrew Luck, Stanford QB, majored in Architectural Design and finished his degree. It’s possible to play a demanding sport and still major in architecture. I doubt it will be easy though.</p>
