Anonymous asked: So I've been in my third year or arch. for almost 2 months now. I'm thinking I'm starting not to have any good ideas, or at least not carry what I've learned from last year into my recent projects. How do you deal with "burning out" and getting back on track into your own design though process, etc?
coveredwithgrace asked: Hey, I'm a HS senior & applying to 6 or 7 BArch programs, most of them in CA and NY. Do you guys have any tips for putting together a portfolio or tips for college essays regarding architecture? Or how you chose the right school? If you can remember anything helpful that would be great! And if these questions have already been asked, I apologize.

coreythecorey-deactivated201202 asked: I'm a current CC student and I have decided to try my hardest to get into SCAD and major into architecture. I have looked up and requirements but other than that I don't know where to start because like all art schools SCAD is expensive. Any suggestions in the academic and financial department?

Anonymous asked: haha, weirdly enough, I went to c/p the assessment information and it has changed. In addition to the written exam and presentation, it now says "Precedent Study comprising exhibition panel and model" Do you have any idea what that might be?
Anonymous asked: did you have history of architecture in your first year? how much did you have to draw/sketch in that class and what exactly were you supposed to be drawing? I just read that my history class will be portfolio assessed and I have no idea what it means...
