USC vs. Syracuse vs. Cooper Union for B.Arch?

<p>Hey CCers! I was wondering if i could get some insight about the School of Architecture for USC, Syracuse, and Cooper Union. I got accepted to USC and Syracuse but I don't know about Cooper Union yet. Still, I want to know what you guys think about these schools because I have to decide soon. What are the pros and cons? Most importantly, how was/is your experience there? Thanks! :D</p>

<p>Already answered your pm… but cooper is a lot of work. My friends there seem to live by the lifestyle of eat, sleep, studio (though that could be said for a lot of arch schools)</p>

<p>@misstrwbrylvr: They’re all awesome schools. I heard Frank Lloyd Wright is going to be a professor at USC. Syracuse’s architecture program is ranked No.2 by D.I., what else do I need to say? And check out their student work on their website [Syracuse</a> SOA](<a href=“Syracuse Architecture”>Syracuse Architecture). They’re awesome! Plus I’m gonna be going to Syracuse :smiley: Yeah, Arctic92 is right, Cooper Union is very very intense. If you wanna challenge yourself, crank out an awesome portfolio, and have no life, go to Cooper Union.</p>

<p>Kendezi, I think you mean Frank Gehry is going to be a professor at USC.</p>

<p>hahahahahahahahaha</p>

<p>@msheft: Haha, my bad XD Yeah, I meant Frank Gehry. That was a really really stupid mistake XD Oh my god, so embarrassed. Hopefully, Syracuse admins won’t see this, they’ll probably take back my offer :D</p>

<p>yep, Gehry’s coming here to teach… it’d be weird if a guy as dead as Wright started teaching here haha</p>

<p>@Arctic92: Yeah, I wanted to type Frank Gehry. But after I typed Frank, somehow I automatically switched to Frank Lloyd Wright. Weird XD. One of my classmate is going to go to USC for architecture this fall.</p>

<p>Thanks guys for all the replies! haha, yes, those two franks are both wonderful architects and i sometimes say the wrong frank too xD
WOW! Frank Gehry! teaching at USC?!?! hes still gonna do projects, right? woooah, thats so amazing, since he graduated from there O_O
my goodness, i want to meet him!
yea, i know cooper union is known for intense programs but i dont know…i thought all great arch schools are like that ><

<p>@misstrwbrylvr: Yep :slight_smile: I just filled in my admission acceptance form. Nah, I didn’t visit. A lot of work to do right now, especially for my art class. Trying to cram out 2 more art pieces by the end of next week XD</p>

<p>ah, i see…well, it seems like im thinking about Syracuse more right now. haha, i take so long to make decisions. it’s really nice there and i really enjoyed visiting ^^ but i still cant make a definite answer yet. hopefully, i will meet you in the fall! :D</p>

<p>@misstrwbrylvr: yeah definitely :)</p>
