<p>I have been accepted to M.Arch programs at Pratt, CCA and northeastern university School of Architecture.</p>
<p>Don't know how to choose...all these school's location is good for me. So I only care about the quality of the architecture education.</p>
<p>Can someone please tell me how the program works in each of the three schools?</p>
<p>Do I get any chance for internship?(international student). How about the job finding after graduate? Give me some advice, help me choose one…really appreciate！！： ）</p>
<p>anybody wanna share a thought?</p>
<p>I found this on last year’s thread about neu. Someone asked a mom why their kid was choosing it and why she was enthusiastic. This is her posted reply:</p>
<ol>
<li>Study abroad in Berlin - the german govt is spending tons of money on transitioning their govt buildings into green buildings so they are on the forefront of implementing green tech in urban environments. Other programs study in Rome and Florence - great history but not as relevent to today’s challenges</li>
<li>Coop, Coop, Coop - she will graduate with at least a year of arch experience under her belt along with a ready-made network</li>
<li>4+1 Masters (although it takes 6 years because of coop)</li>
<li>Location - everyday is a lesson in urban arch plus it’s Boston with 250K college students in the surrounding area</li>
<li>NEU global focus - arch is becoming a global profession and NEU is all about global opportunities. There are opportunities to go on “Dialogues” which are 4-8 week trips with a professor to study a particular issue - i.e. emerging cities in China or even do an international coop</li>
<li>Regular arch firm crawls - the opportunity to visit with firms and learn about their current projects - because of the location</li>
<li>George Thrush, Dir of the Program - he is a very engaging person with a very compelling vision for the program. He is evolving the program to be relevant to today’s issues, practical and not “pie in the sky”…he will teach the students to design innovative office buidings and urban structures, not castles.</li>
</ol>
<p>It pays to read thru the old threads! You never know what great info you will find! Good Luck!</p>
