<p>I wanted to know more about the architecture program at Rice. I'm an international and will be applying for Fall 2012. Any input will be valuable :)</p>

<p>Any specific questions?</p>

<p>The architecture program is one of a few programs at Rice where you apply to the program itself. The program is very highly ranked and respected.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies :slight_smile:
I wanted to know some more details about the atmosphere, the professors, the people, etc. I am aware of its reputation but dont want to rely on statistics alone. And what sort of applicants does it usually look for ?</p>

<p>Maybe this will help a little. I’m guessing the "archies"s are very busy now.
Have you tried emailing any of the professors with specific questions …</p>

<p>I did, but got very vague replies. Didn’t get much out of it. Plus, I could really use a student’s advice. I am applying EA to rice but lets see. . .
Thanks Ottoline</p>

<p>They expect a lot of commitment. Other than that, I will let an archi answer this question.</p>
