Boston Architectural College

<p>I've been strongly considering this school, but can anyone give me any insight. Seems like a great place to study, I'd just like to hear opinions/personal experience from others.</p>

<p>thanks, grant</p>

<p>bump .</p>

<p>I do not know too much about BAC, but I do remember one thing from that school when I was looking at Arch schools in Boston. Theres no campus, really. It’s a small school that not many people go to right out of high school because their schools just geared more toward older students. I don’t know much about the quality of the education though. I go to MassArt in Boston and am getting my degree in Architectural Design and Art History, and no teachers or students really know much about BAC.</p>

<p>Back with a little more info. I was on another forum looking up info for a school that I’m interested in but found an informed opinion of BAC. hope it helps more than the other failed response haha.</p>

Don’t go to the BAC, the sheer fact that you are interested in Art should drive you completely away from the BAC. The BAC offers perhaps the least progressive architecture education on this planet. The sole focus is conformity, it is give or take on your instructors and there is no studio atmosphere, as studio is once a week for only 3 hours. The building has very limited hours. You simply do not learn much at school. I went to the BAC for 4 years and transferred out to SCIARC, which was a very late transfer but I realized that it was not the education I wanted, it was setting me up to be little more then a good employee and few students from the BAC make it into meaningful grad programs. It is a practical education, that is for some people, but not if your passion is design, maybe if it was construction documents and construction administration. There are some very bright students at the BAC and they would be 1 million times better at a traditional program that is focused on studio atmosphere.</p>
