<p>So, I already posted this in the arch major thread but I haven't gotten any replies so I thought I would repost here to get a different point of view.
I'm so torn right now between Cooper Union Architecture and Rice Architecture.
I was leaning towards going to Rice for architecture until I got my acceptance today from Cooper Union- Cooper union has been my dream school for years! But I started to really like the campus at Rice and how it is small, but diverse and there seems to be a really strong vibe of everyone working together and I would be able to get the college experience. I am afraid at Cooper Union I would be missing out on the college experience and I have heard it is cutthroat competitive? Does anyone have knowledge on each of the programs and can help me out here? I know Rice has an amazing preceptorship program that partners with the top firms to give you a year-long internship with one of them, but Cooper Union is in New York City which I feel like would provide great internship experiences already.</p>
<p>I thought Rice and Cooper have different styles/ tendencies/ perspectives towards architecture? Maybe I’m wrong… but you could consider which genre you’d prefer besides the school size and location. Because they are both great schools and both have pros and cons. It’s going to be very hard to decide. Good luck :)</p>
<p>@zmalqp Thank you(: I am going to visit both over the next 2 weeks so that should help</p>
