UCSB-->CC-->Architecture School

<p>Okay so, I'm planning on transferring out of UCSB at the end of fall quarter freshman year and transferring to a community college in order to take studio classes to make a good portfolio and complete my GE's so that I can attend a architecture program at another university. I'm skeptical about whether I'm making a mistake, especially because I am not one hundred percent sure that I want to be an architect. I need advice on what architecture school is like, preferably from students majoring in architecture. For example, could you tell me why architecture requires so many all-nighters and what do you do during these all-nighters (drawing, planning, etc?). Also, what is the biggest surprise in majoring in architecture because my friend said that it is not what you'd expect... I would also like any feedback on how transferring from a CC to another campus is.</p>

<p>Post your questions about Arch programs on the Architecture Majors subforum, there are experienced Arch students and professionals there. I will leave your thread here for input on your CC to another campus question.</p>
