<p>Yes, my daughter is at HWS entering her senior year (yikes!), double majoring in architecture and environmental studies. She LOVES her studio architecture design instructor and the architectural historian (who’s also an architect, not just an arch historian) and feels really well prepared for both working in a firm or going to graduate school – I can’t believe how well she can draw now (she could draw flowers and things like that, but she now has a sketchbook and models that are really sophisticated).<br>
She’s deciding between going to graduate school for interior design, architecture or landscape architecture. All her friends in the major got into graduate schools — good ones too: University of Michigan, University of Washington, Notre Dame, Virginia, Wash University, Harvard.<br>
She had looked at Conn College too when she originally applied to HWS — but the student work was mediocre from the studios and they mostly had art historians who also taught architectural history. There weren’t any trained architects on the faculty at that time — maybe there are now. But based on my daughter’s experience, I’d recommend HWS.</p>
