<p>Currently my plan is undergrad in the Architecture school at either MIT or Princeton.</p>

<p>Could any of you guys give me unbiased details about the architecture programs at each? Just knowing more about the architecture program in both will help to make my decision as to which college I should choose.</p>

<p>I went to both preview weekends and both architecture programs seemed great. What does each have and what sets the apart from each other? (very un-opinionated of course)</p>

<p>PS. I'm more of an arsty sorta of guy, so I perfer arts over science and math (while I still can do it if necessary). What about the core requirements for math and science?</p>

<p>How about the faculty (accessible, what kind, how do they teach, lots or few, etc)? Hands on or more conceptual? Modern or Traditional? Opportunities for research? Traveling abroad? etc etc.</p>

<p>I guess your main dilemma is: </p>

<ol>
<li><p>Can I go through 2 semesters of physics, 2 of math (if I recall correctly), 1 bio, 1 chem.</p></li>
<li><p>MIT students vs. Princeton students (they are very different). As far as I’m concerned, I prefer MIT students, but that’s only me.</p></li>
</ol>
